"Cringe". Some of the previous comments caused my balls get up and hide somewhere in my gut!.

Whilst these tee's are in no way reflective of the taste level here they're not bad for the Urban marketplace, they sure **** on most graphics that come from the major East Coast Urban brands now trying to play in the world of "Street".

On a side note anyone endevoring to do something creative (especially a small startup) should be given some credit for having a go!, better than Crack'n Skulls, Capp'n Fools and Slapp'n Ho's for cash money in Newark!.

Furthermore, I was implying that the fact you even *considered* advertising here indicates one or more of the following: 1) you are incapable of, or too lazy to investigate what people here actually like, 2) you don't give a **** what people here like, and you think that any publicity is good publicity (it's not, which researching this place even a tiny bit would learn you [edit: See Bam!ChairDance's post]).

Lastly, I was trying to warn you that, in posting here, a not insignificant portion of the user base is going to think you're a stupid and/or lazy prick (in the case of #1 above), or a asshole that doesn't give a **** about filling up the forum with irrelevant drivel (in the case of #2), and, most importantly, that those people who are possessed of such opinions will not be complimentary should they ever have occasion to speak of your label.

I was trying to be helpful (still am) whilst tactfully pointing out your folly. Really.





Brutal honesty without malice? I think your shirts are ugly as ****. I think they look cheap and unpolished, like something that anyone could produce with a home screen printing kit. I think they're trashy, I think they're unoriginal, and I think they are completely indistinguishable from hundreds of other upstart designers. You wouldn't find one of those things covering my corpse.

However (as I stated previously) I think there are lots of SuFu and Hypebeast kids that will eat 'em up.

I meant no disrespect with my post. I apparently misinterpreted the purpose of this forum. I can tell you honestly that I work hard at what I do, however aesthetially offensive you may find it, and would appreciate at very least a bit of respect.

The middle one isn't too bad; I may pick it up for a friend who is into this stuff.

But on here, you are not going to be received kindly; for, no one on this board wears much of this sort of clothing.

Good luck!

They're not the worst I've seen by far. Obviously, completely not my thing. But at least you have a good attitude about it.

Strive on, you'll always face harsh criticism, whether here, from your customer base, stores etc. If your clothes appealed to everyone they wouldn't mean ****.

Nothing better than some brutal criticism to make you say "*******" and keep going for what you believe in.

You mistake my unfiltered opinion for intentional disrespect. As I pointed out, even though *I* think your clothes are ******* hideous, I am only one person, and I'm absolutely certain there are *others* that will dig 'em. I even gave you a pointer where to find them. Please re-read my original post, and note the disclaimers in my second. And when I said "good luck," I meant it; you'll need it in a crowded marketplace.

Quoted for truth; if you get all butt hurt after taking criticism from some random jackass on a 'net forum, the business/fashion world is going to put you over a barrel.

Isn't the brass knuckles, AK-47s, &c. motif something that Artful Dodger, Problem Solvers, &c. have beaten to death?
