remember that clothing idea i had

[coffie crave 7]

well the project is pretty much up and on its feet, and im slowly getting orders in.the site sill has a few kinks and flaws.

http://highhopesapparel.com/

im pretty much keeping it simple real simple, and trying to stay away from ''all over prints'' and anything trendy. the shirts are pointing more to the skateboard crowd

mods please dont close this thread, i am not trying to sell anything by useing 12's fourm im onlying giveing an update. and i can not find my old thread about this.

im open to all opinion's

[CACashRefund]

you are the wind beneath my wings

[Gat:Bush]

im trying to be more productive.

[R@ndomH3ro]

Send me free shit, I will totally DaNcE N' GrAfF in them to get your name around.

"Aw dude that's sick, what's your logo like?

"Oh well it's a lower-case "h"..."

"..."

"... With a dot over it."

"... Oh, cool."

I just had this conversation in my head. It looks okay though man, kudos.

[swedish erotica]

yeah man, looks pretty cool. you should endorse ch.0.

[coffie crave 7]

i had alot of good and bad feedback about the logo, but i like it and im going to keep it, its a h with a dot, and the dot is sorta like a halo, its sorta flows with the name highhopes... but i need some dead simple, i dont want a too crazy colorfull logo, something simple but yet a little eye catchy. i plan on haveing the big H tees, printed in all weird colorways, handing out some free to a few well known skateboarders i skate with. once peoples icons are starting to wear something everyone wants to buy it, im not going down that route but its a good way for me to advertise free and keep it with in our freinds, with out paying tons for magazine adds, ect...

[Gwar]

everyone makes shirts these days... look ok tho

[coffie crave 7]

thanks
thats true, everyone is trying to do the hiphop streetwear shit.

im trying to keep this from far from that. i have plans for caps (not new era hat's)
and hoodies for this fall. but i have to crawl before i walk so its tee-shirts first

[CACashRefund]

can you have tall tees made?

[Syre]

a pee in the butt shirt would be cool

[coffie crave 7]

can you have tall tees made?

i supose i chould, i would have to talk to the people that are puting these together for me. but they would prolly have to call a place for that themselfs.

Alright dude, I really don't want to be a dick here, but this simply can't fly. I know you're honest about what you're asking for, but we can't just let anyone ask for "feedback" and then drop a link.

I either gotta close this or move it to Duty Free. Your choice.

[colt45oe800]

coffie crave, good stuff

way to step up and do it on your own.
a question for coffie crave, or anyone with knowledge in t-shirts.
Where can i get all-over prints done? i have had an idea for a long time that i want to do but noone knows where, or won't answer. I suspect china but i'm not sure if i have a big enough order.

before i get "oh another t-shirt guy" i've been at this for six years blah blah blah

[AyeBee]

I could fuck with the rat shirt if you had a 2xl

[coffie crave 7]

is that girl on the shirt chloe 18?(with skateboard)

[coffie crave 7]

is that girl on the shirt chloe 18?(with skateboard)

yes it is

[SpreadAIDS]

can you get in trouble for using her on a product you are selling?

[coffie crave 7]

i dought it, its a photo i came across on the internet, nothing on it had a copy right on it, and i photochoped it into my own design. so its pretty much a stencil not a photo

[Issac Brock]

Feedback:

The rat shirt is dope. I don't like the green on white at all though.

The woman screaming shirt is dope, I just don't like that the logo is attached. Put it on the sleeve or something.

The big logo shirt is pretty cool, I just think the logo should be a little bit more interesting. I wouldn't really want to wear that shirt.

I like the pigeon design, I just hate the green color of the shirt. If you switched up the colors I would like it.

The blue Highhopes shirt does nothing for me.

The big logo with the green dot is more interesting, but still, that logo needs a little more something to it.

The hood rat one is awesome.

[Pistol]

maybe im not emo or hipster or whatever but the color schemes kinda a little too wacked out for me.

[Issac Brock]

Yeah, cause if you wear anything with more than one color then you're an emo or hipster.

[Pistol]

nah you can be a hipster fag wearing a solid pink shirt too.

[iloveboxcars]

my suggestion is try to whore yourself out on superfuture.com

if they buy into it there pretty soon you'll be able to do 100-150 dollar shirts.

thanks for the tip...i will look into it, but i never ever wanna sell 100 doller tee-shirts the whole point of me doing this project is to be able to put out good tastefull clothing with out trying to rape peoples pay checks...

[fatbastard]

I've always dreamed of designing and printing a line of maybe 3-5 tshirts, even if i didnt break even and lost a few hundred i'd still be happy.

How much money have you invested in your company so far?

[coffie crave 7]

only a few hundred im trying to only put out a few shirts each month, so if the ball starts rolling i can then pick up the speed and start to make hoodies hats ect, and drop tees more. takeing it slow for now, and for my wallets sake to.

[seeking]

i'll try and be nice.

much better than i remember the first stuff being, but still very cliche and boring. birds are the new deer/horse/cowboy/unicorn, and hot girls in seductive poses? i guess maybe you could call that 'timeless' but ehhhh, no, just cliche.

i suppose i hope it works out for you, but i just really dont see the designs as being anywhere near catchy enough. in order for stuff like this to sell it has to make people think 'oh my god, thats so awesome, my friends are gonna be so jealous', and your stuff just doesnt do that. also, alot of it focuses on the brand itself...fact of the matter is that no one gives a shit about yoru brand. the logo itself isnt cool enough, and it's certainly not cool enough when it covers the entire front of the shirt. maybe that would have flown in 91, when stuff like that was the rage, but now...ehhh, not so much. people like weird placement and unique shit. think about that next time. dont put 'highhopes' across the chest, put it under neath the armpit. dont put a giant fucking h on the front, put a little one with cute wings flying up to the shoulder. dont put splashes of gay coloring across a picture you stole out of a magazine then ran through streamline, no one is impressed with that. there probably wasnt a design you spent more than 30 minutes on, and it shows. if you're only offering a couple shirts a month, you need to be putting a lot more thought into them.

it says that all shirts will ship at the end of august. i assume thats because you will have them printed after the orders come in, right? so what happens if you only get one order for one shirt? you tell them 'sorry, thats out of stock' after they waited a month? ehhhh, ok.

im really not saying any of this stuff to be mean. i want you to fail miserably, because i think you're annoying and useless, but since i realize you're not gonna just stop, because you have some weird motivational issue that keeps you going despite having nothing in your corner, i'd like to see your stuff be not wack.

i'd try and maybe give you some more constructive criticism, but when i click on the link now it just gives me code, no website. you might want to work on that, as i doubt it will help sales.

all my love/seeks

[coffie crave 7]

thanks seek for the tips a little harsh but atlest you didn't candy coat your thoughts and opinions.

''it says that all shirts will ship at the end of august. i assume thats because you will have them printed after the orders come in, right? so what happens if you only get one order for one shirt? you tell them 'sorry, thats out of stock' after they waited a month? ehhhh, ok.''

i got the shirts printed and tags done also for the tee's, they wont be ready for a few weeks, then i have to start to send them out. i said towards the end out aug. just to be on the safe side. so far i have about 40 orders to fill which is not alot at all when it comes to the internet.

i started simple, when it came to designs. i just to need to spice it up.Once a few skateboarders wear the H logo tee during photosesions and ect, im sure the H logo will be the most popular tee then. im glad you picked up on it tho i was going for a 90's feel to it, almost like the big X shirts.

[seeking]

i did. it was very salt n peppa. very flava flav. if it works, cool, but i dont know. people are real into thinking they're different these days, which means the more bizarre you can print something, the better.

you want a million dollar idea for free? print the shit on the inside of the shirt with a thin, water based ink so it soaks through, but not completely. it'll give it a crazy mottled sort of look that no one else has. trust me.

[crews]

well this iz gr8 wat can i say i love it :D:D:D:D

[AyeBee]

[fatbastard]

I just checked the site out again since i last checked at the start of the year, notice there are no new products of updates.

Hows it all going?

[Some1]

I gotta find someone who will print t shirts for me...not to sell just for me...

[iloveboxcars]

get a screen and do that shit yourself.

[Hablamos!]

What kind fo tees?

[grandmofftarkin]

thanks for the tip...i will look into it, but i never ever wanna sell 100 doller tee-shirts the whole point of me doing this project is to be able to put out good tastefull clothing with out trying to rape peoples pay checks...


ding ding ding!

[grandmofftarkin]

make a myspace page and start pushing it on there.

also, who are you dealing with for your online store?

[seeking]

bump for certain failure.

[Dog Chapman]

bump for certain failure.

hahaha

[germantime]

UR SHIRTS ARE FUKIN CORNY, NO ONE WOULD COP THESE CLICHE DESIGNS, , BOTTOM LINE IS, COMPARED TO WHATS OUT THERE, UR SHIT IS BUNZ,I AM WILLING TO BET 5 THOUSAND DOLLARS YOUR FROM THE SUBURBS,YOU SHOULD JUST MARTYR YOURSELF

[grandmofftarkin]

yo, at least he is taking a risk. i've seen worse designs and honestly i don't think his shit is that bad. i mean, unless you haters fall into the category of "hipsters" and you NEED to spend over $50.00 for a shirt to be "cool".

fuck you bourgeois yuppies!

[jonsnickers]

that might be the gayest logo/company in general i have ever seen...kill yourself
