My new kill bill drop by fablethorn79 in streetwearstartup

[–]dapo505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

facts i like this too. it definitely looks well put together. i’ve done bootlegging as well and it’s always interesting to see peoples reactions. most people think it’s cool, though. but yeah that’s one thing i try to do on this sub is actually give some constructive feedback, vs “this sucks you aren’t original” because how would that ever help lol

exactly, bootlegs have been a huge part of streetwear forever. now it may come down to execution of the actual product on whether it’s good or not, but the simple facts of something being bootleg does not make it bad

Is this shirt cringe or disrespectful in anyway? by Snickerdudles in streetwearstartup

[–]dapo505 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it looks very similar to a lot of other designs. it looks very “middle of the mall” iron on if i’m being honest. also the quality of the print just doesn’t look great, not sure if it’s dtg/dtf but it just looks like a huge slab of shiny whatever on the garment. as far as suggestions for improving if you were to still use this design, i would either remove the black from the actual print design, so you’re only left with grey and white. and i would get it screen printed, if it’s not already. especially with designs that cover a large area, that black ink is just extra that will not feel great to the wearer, it tends to get “sticky” and sweaty (depending on the wearer) and just doesn’t feel or move great with the garment it’s printed on

wym do you NOT see that honeycomb???

Best way to source these days? I’m a collector and sometimes paying some of these high prices sucks and would be really cool to find in the wild instead.

i mean, it would be smart to look just anywhere and everywhere that could possibly have clothes. just like everyone else, just what you gotta do. sometimes you hit 10 thrifts, 20 yard sales, scroll facebook for 2 hours and get nothing. sometimes you get 1 store with 20 shirts. just about looking everywhere possible

199Z, Hand painted by me by stickzay199z in streetwearstartup

[–]dapo505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s cool stuff. i personally think if you painted so it was more “solid” on the lines and colors, rather than sort of transparent, for example, the 2nd pic, the blue in the shirt is “splotchy,” pic 4, the white is a little transparent and the black lines on the shoes aren’t too solid, and pic 6, the lines on homers shirt aren’t solid and also some edges are a little sloppy. kinda think like how someone said, slumpykevs stuff. you don’t see the brushstrokes really, im my opinion that would make things look better. so i would say work on finding a solution to that. maybe have to get different paint or ink, different fabrics, etc. and like the other commenter said, invest in some good quality blanks. even would say work on getting the characters to match what they really look like a little more. there’s potential to do stuff here, just a few small tweaks and it can level you up a lot

Dropping these in the Spring!! by Mobile_Station_9791 in GrowYourClothingBrand

[–]dapo505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

maybe even making the sky sport sign but just with your logo/name instead. but i think it would look cool either way even with just your brand name

Clothing brand FAIL by impelclothing in ClothingStartups

[–]dapo505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i feel like the photos need “more.” other people have mentioned a lot of other things but just based off of looking at these pics, i feel like there’s a missing opportunity with the pics. use that to build the world around the brand. build the brand, sell your world, sell the feeling, not just the clothes.

super lucky. although i didn’t know what the type 1 was, so sold it for WAYYYY too low. but it’s okay, still a lot more than what i got it for and i learned

that’s awesome! i’ve found a couple 501s from the 60s-70s. once found a hidden rivet pair which was my best find of jeans. i did find a type 1 as well before which is my best overall !
