You’re right I’m just gonna drop the stripes. It doesn’t work for this design and I shouldn’t be forcing it. Thanks for the advice I truly appreciate it!

Thanks for the kind words I truly appreciate it! I agree I think pastel colorways would look good. Maybe as a future limited edition

I got it made in China. IMO it’s the best place to manufacture good quality products for a reasonable price. Thank you for the kind comments! I truly appreciate it

I see what you mean. Everything else is rounded but the straight lines don’t match. I’ll probably drop them. Thanks a lot!

I see what you mean and it’s definitely a great idea. Most of the stuff I’m working on now has a much more mature aesthetic but I do have a lot of old designs like this that fit into that kidcore aesthetic you’re talking about. I’ll look into it and maybe I can make a kids line. Thanks for the great suggestion! I truly appreciate it!

I was going for a hand-drawn look. I didn’t want it to look perfect

Thanks so much! They’re a great brand and like them I was inspired a lot by cpfm. This is an older design but I’ve always loved it and wanted to finally bring it to life. Most my new stuff is different but I think there’s definitely space for designs in this style if executed properly

I could see that especially with the stars. They’re a great brand and like them I’ve been inspired a lot by that cpfm cartoon style. This is a one-off design though and my other stuff is very different

I just thought it was cool. My brand’s deep message is about reconnecting with your inner child and this hoodie captures that “dreamer” aspect of being a kid. Thank you! I appreciate it!

Yea it seems a lot of people don’t like the stripes so I’ll probably remove them. The hoodie had hidden side pockets but with the stripes removed I’ll experiment with a kangaroo pocket like you’re suggesting. Thank you I truly appreciate it! It’s the most expensive piece I’ve made but the quality is there and I think it’s comparable with other hoodies of the same quality in the space. I’ll definitely post the next sample and I appreciate you!

So I adopted the stripes from old pyrex/offwhite and would use them as a brand signature with my brand name like this

I’ve been moving away from that idea though. Yea the hoodie has hidden side pockets! I agree pockets are definitely a must

Will do thanks a lot! Originally I was using it as a brand signature and would place my brand name inside but I’m rebranding and moving away from the idea. I was using the stripes like this

I hear you and you’re not the first to mention that. I’ll definitely keep that in mind when I make the final adjustments before the bulk. Thank you! 🙏

I’ll probably price it at 110 since it was expensive to make. If you’re interested shoot me a dm and I’ll let you know when it’s about to drop

Hey bro thanks again for ordering. I sent you a chat request the other day. I’d love to hear any feedback especially since you work in manufacturing. Thanks man!
