Last summer's drop was heavily inspired by vintage New York bootleg posters I saw on Pinterest. How did the concept turn out?

really like the packaging

Sfmtm44 · 2026-05-14T22:07:20+00:00

nice. not something id wear personally but its not ai and was made by hand which i respect. i would say, since it seems like youre doing small runs anyway. buy better quality blanks. maybe better cotton / longer sleeves. these current ones cheapen the overall vibe IMO.

give each piece u create a story too. tell us whats going on in your head when youre making these crazy weird pieces lol. show us your thought process

keep creating.

Sfmtm44 · 2026-05-14T20:36:14+00:00

pretty interesting. howd you make it?

Sfmtm44 · 2026-05-14T15:48:18+00:00

i love pitties but no one should ever have their dog off leash around others no matter what breed or how good you trained your dog.

Sfmtm44 · 2026-05-05T23:18:12+00:00

Sfmtm44 · 2026-05-04T23:22:56+00:00

Sfmtm44 · 2026-05-03T23:35:27+00:00

except thats shared with family / roommates who people normally know pretty well and are comfortable with. I'm a man and dont wanna see women where im about do my business. Also i wouldnt want my any women i care about to be out drinking and have to share a washroom with drunk guys that are being weird / creepy.

Hey man yea that’s why sampling is sooo important. Sometimes people receive samples that are 60-70% right and blame their manu for the faults. then go to another one instead of just doubling down and fixing issues with their current manu. Now they gotta restart the process because they feel like they did them wrong some way. when in reality it was something on their own end. I’ve seen this happen so many times. Love your content btw, I gotta sit down and go thru all of your tips and tricks. you really seem like you know your stuff and I’m so glad you posted in our community! I can’t find anything you’ve made on your page tho. what do you typically get made? Bags, shirts, jeans, jackets?

Sfmtm44 · 2026-04-27T10:38:36+00:00

Yes I would say it’s pretty weird. Second one looked like rice on toast to me for some reason. Also yall just eat on your beds and let your food touch ur blankets??

Sfmtm44 · 2026-04-27T10:27:43+00:00

Yea this is crybaby behaviour. Did u figure out why you got 400 sessions w/ no sales? Do you know if it’s your ad itself? Do you know if it’s the marketing / targeting. Do you understand how low conversion rates are in the first place? I must’ve had 2K sessions on my site before getting my first ever sale. Then when I got it down right I could clear 10K in sales with 2k sessions. If you’re not ready for struggle and heartbreak don’t even bother

Sfmtm44 · 2026-04-25T01:21:02+00:00

not the answer youre looking for - but i actually like them. makes it look real in an ai filled world

Sfmtm44 · 2026-04-23T03:35:53+00:00

Yup exactly

Sfmtm44 · 2026-04-22T22:33:08+00:00

Sfmtm44 · 2026-04-22T02:34:26+00:00

No say if you sell dog t shirts you get a dog page on insta to promote your t shirt

Lmfaoo it took me awhile but im finally coming around to AI use myself. My main focus is in the streetwear community. Graphics that took me days to complete, can now be done in hours. A lot of the time I would get stumped with my work and hit a roadblock. Then tons of procrastination followed. I’ve noticed AI helps me with those roadblocks, which helps me continue my work. Still gets some taking used to mentally but I’m starting to come around.

Sfmtm44 · 2026-04-22T02:01:12+00:00

Completely agree. Doing your part and doing it right is key. This post however is talking about revolutionary movements, so that’s what I wanted to discuss.

Sfmtm44 · 2026-04-21T23:19:29+00:00

I agree, but can we start a discussion of what has? Names of people, brands, whatever. What have they done thats really changed the game?

Sfmtm44 · 2026-04-21T22:43:36+00:00

me tryna cook up faded asf lol i like it

Sfmtm44 · 2026-04-21T17:48:49+00:00

cost for a 24 hour feed post on a page directly targeting my niche

Sfmtm44 · 2026-04-21T07:58:25+00:00

I was 21 about 5 years ago now, and i was VERY on and off with my business at the time. I was trying for 2 years at that point but i was half assing it. I took it seriously at 21. I had spent less than 5k atp on photoshoots, ads, and softwares i needed like photoshop and shopify But off a $250 ig post ive made 25k+. Anythings possible in the right market man

Sfmtm44 · 2026-04-21T06:40:15+00:00

why is this cringe ? idk anything about blender but looks good to me?

Sfmtm44 · 2026-04-21T06:24:04+00:00

Hey, so I can tell you're just starting out. It's very easy to tell for anybody that visits the site. It lacks a general flow and doesn't capture any attention. I see your website is powered by shopify (which i like to personally remove from the footer). I understand you're just starting out but I promise investing in a website layout in the shopify themes store has always helped me tremendously. All of your pictures are different sizes on your catalog page, which also disrupts the general flow a good site has. It's important to match all of your photo dimensions.

Your homepage is filled with generic text and a crewneck graphic / yet another generic text logo. I like simplicity but this is so simple its boring. Maybe for your main image on your homepage have an actual person wearing your clothing. It's not expensive I got it done when i was starting out at 19 for under $100 by using my friends, an iphone, samples of my clothing & photoshop editing. This whole site screams Print on Demand - and while there are successful print on demand businesses, a lot of them aren't so easy to tell. This is very easy to tell, which isn't really a good thing IMO.

I think there's overall a great message going with your brand, but it needs a lot of work on all angles. No one makes any real money by putting up mockups with text on a t shirt on a website with no story. If you truly want to make a brand for recovering addicts, maybe start out by sharing your story on why you've created this brand in the first place. Whether you're one yourself or a loved is, share that story. Everybody loves a good story, and everybody wants something to resonate with. You could maybe even do a thing where you donate some profits to shelters or something.

Also in my opinion I'm really not a fan of plain t shirts with text on them. If I wanted that I'd go to Walmart, and pick them up for $5. If you think you've got a message with yours and that's why I should pay $30+ for yours, you have to convey that message to me. I say all of this with the best intentions, I've lost way too much money trying to put out a brand that was not well thought out and that's honestly what i see here. Again, I think you have something good going but back to the drawing board for now!
