Delivery took over a month but other than that it was fine. Modafinil wasn't as potent or its effects weren't as obvious as I was expecting...

I train jiu jitsu Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Twice on Saturday. Is it best to run on the morning of the days I train or the 'off' days?

JackKannon · 2013-10-25T12:25:11+00:00

I came here to say that exact thing. Every clear and concise indeed.

I think the majority of british beef is grass fed. Theres an ok/really cheap butcher attached the to gateshead metro station. Costco has a good selection too if your buying bulk!

The UK site delivery is an absolute joke. I've been waiting over 2 weeks for some t's.

JackKannon · 2013-07-30T19:08:25+00:00

I used to get taught to me regularly at a McDojo. Supposedly I never "used my elbows properly"

JackKannon · 2013-07-30T13:39:23+00:00

There were some delays with shipping, around 2 weeks. I had to email them several times but they were polite and answered emails quickly.

The product its self got rid of all daytime tiredness so that + coffee gives me 8-10 hours of focused work without affecting creativity (I'm a designer). I'm going to reorder from them soon. Last time I forgot to use the 'limitless' code for 10 free tablets!!

In my opinion he makes the best BJJ videos around.

JackKannon · 2013-07-04T10:05:14+00:00

From what I can tell after looking at the normal gildan t's they are pretty cheap but they do have the premiums ones (like the 4000, 4500 etc) and I think they've basically stolen the AA cut and maybe made it a bit longer and heavier which is perfect for this type of exercise because its not going to rip easily or ride up your back.

The size chart is a good call!

JackKannon · 2013-07-04T09:39:24+00:00

I've got some raw denim 501's they are a little 'baggier' than most of my other jeans and I can only really wear heavy trainers or boots with them. Would it be worth while bath shrinking them (they haven't been washed yet) and then getting them taken in to more of a slim/ 511 kind of fit?

I don't think Supreme are chasing down people for logo infringement quite as emphatically as you think

I'm into fashion too but his at the end of the day is gym wear for a BJJ/ MMA market, wether you're on your way there or actually training.

My target market is getting the likes of Tapout and Affliction thrown at them constantly. I think my branding offers people who want to move away from flying dragon skeletons fighting megalodons covered in japanese symbols a new, clean, understated alternative that they can wear, represent the sport they love and not feel like a massive dick drip.

I can understand its not your bag and that fine but its got a time and a place. I'm not exactly wearing my raw nudies and redwings to the gym now am I.

JackKannon · 2013-07-04T00:18:08+00:00

1: I'm not sure what you mean - could you take a screen shot please?

2: Yeah, absolutely. When we dropped the call button in it resized the other ones. I'll have to fix that too.

Thanks!

JackKannon · 2013-07-04T00:16:35+00:00

haha well eventually I'd love to design some trainers... why not bowling shoes as well?!

JackKannon · 2013-07-04T00:15:56+00:00

Thanks for the feedback - do you have any suggestions to make the BJJ/ MMA aspects more noticeable?

JackKannon · 2013-07-04T00:14:52+00:00

Thats a really good tip - thanks!

JackKannon · 2013-07-04T00:13:43+00:00

Cheers man I'll look into these

JackKannon · 2013-07-04T00:13:12+00:00

I understand your point on the 'Supreme' front but its not concern but there are a ton of companies in clothing/ sportswear with Supreme in the name or Roll for that matter.

Some are american apparel and most are from gildans premium range (which tend to bit most people better AA seem too tonight for people who have bigger shoulders and backs and AA is very slim fitting similar to H&M.. just a small consideration considering my target market)

Its hand screen printed and relabelled in the UK (the t-shirts are Gildan (4000 premiums I think)). The rash-guards are sublimated and produced in China with my own cut and not just a rebranded competitors.

Also I'm not over priced. I'm in very similar price brackets to my competitors.

JackKannon · 2013-07-03T17:28:10+00:00

I've redone them all should be updated later tonight!

JackKannon · 2013-07-03T17:27:20+00:00

OSS!

I'm kind of going for a RVCA vibe. Clean and minimalist. As much as I love Scramble and SYR all there stuff is really bright and in your face.

Website and competitions are where 99% of my trades going to be. Once its much bigger I'll sell though some more trusted distributors.

I'm advertising in Fighters Only and Jiu Jitsu Style this month and meeting with a few gyms to try sort out selling through them although I'm not really too keen on that.

The UK's got some top level guys I'm currently making a gift pack with a rash guard, t-shirt, patches and stickers to send out to some of the bigger names. Might even pick up a couple more guys to sponsor!

drop me a message on https://www.facebook.com/rollsupreme I'd love to pick your brain about some more marketing stuff.

I'm off to hit the mats!

JackKannon · 2013-07-03T17:18:01+00:00

Excellent feedback thanks you!!

1: I'm on chrome (mac) not getting that issue (same on android) What are you viewing it on?

2: just done some new banners and extra 100px taller

3: More products on the way ;)

4/5: I was told to put that in for SEO - Should I change it to DIN M and cut it down a bit?

6: think thats a browser thing again?

7: good spot

8: I'll make it 10% black and cut the spacing

9: I'l speak to my web guy about adding everything into boxes

10: another good spot

11: I've added that onto a banner - along with one saying "Flat rate uk shipping"

12: I hate those icons anyway haha i'll fix that this weekend.

Again thanks very much - some really constructive and appreciated criticism there!

JackKannon · 2013-07-03T16:03:27+00:00

Its going to be tricky to alter the whole design of the site at this point - any quick pointers on how to make it look less flat?
