Can you talk about the type of fabric? And the wight of it ?

[@simplediyr]

Love the design. Where can I get it :-)

[@salmaelhaimer6139]

Can you do print on demand with the hoodie as well? And if so how?

[@AbdullahFarhanLife]

I have a question, you mentioned selling your clothes on print on demand sites, but should you be doing that if you are truly a luxury brand? Shouldn't the print on demand be for the random designs that you just do with different themes different than an actual clothing brand line? Let me know thanks

[@tambeprimus6631]

Thanks alot. Please how can I get your direct line for photoshop tips and corel draw?

[@abiya7566]

Hey great vid! Do you know if there's any sites that I could order custom vinyl print designs so I could just press it on? Or maybe if people make stores like that I could look into? I don't even know what the name of that printer is, just starting out.

[@kdotcondones.]

The only problem I'm having is deciding the brand and how well it's gonna interest cutsomers

[@ChicagosDuke]

Which POD company did you use?

[@soulexhale]

Your photographer is hilarious!!😂🤣😅 that made me laugh!!!

[@nasa46]

Name for print on demand you mentioned please and thank you!

[@MurderousKing]

My experience with Direct to Print is a very low profit margin due to the printer taking care of so much. Is there a good direct to print vendor you recommend? Or is hosting your own inventory still the way to go?

[@sirjumbly]

Hosting your own inventory is the way to go if you have the liquid cash to support the initial overhead.

Hey mate you ever use a circuit maker I been thinking that be a good way to make clothes

[@velafresh]

What’s a good quality print on demand company? I’ve seen many but some companies seem to skip the base layer of the print making the print look low quality

[@Mr.R8020]

I didn’t understand which material your hoodie was can u tell me where u find a manufacturer to make luxury pieces like the same material like Drake ones ?

[@goodvibes55]

Are you using the same hoodie for POD?

[@DenisAshton]

Psychology is amazing. The Drake hoodie was cool, but his name and the chrome hearts name have enough power to charge a lot of money. It makes it feel intimidating and high quality, cuz if u buy it, it’s like “oh this better be good!” It’s easy to expect higher quality with higher price. Not always true tho. Humans put different monetary values on stuff, but clothing, fashion, and art are priceless

obviously blanks is a good start but imo guys find a manufacturer more expensive sure but how the hoodie fits will just be the same if 1000 of u make different logos but get this blank it looks like the same hoodie just different designs explore how different hoodies fit the human body and create ur perfect fit

[@gailinax]

Okay so my question is, isn’t a part of what makes a luxury brand “luxury” the durability and how long the garment lasts? Heat pressed patterns eventually fade right?

[@fromthegroundupshorts5964]

These puff vinyl prints hold up incredibly well! We don't see them fading anytime soon.
