Feels good to be back on KZbin - Appreciate all the kind comments and messages, go run up Episodes Project!

[@gothfairy6977]

They did this because they know your brand would go big one day and they can’t let that happen because no one would buy from them anymore!

[@PaydayPickups]

Appreciate the kind words man! So gutted it had to end, what do you think of the new brand Episodes Project?

[@dereknguyen2449]

I wish this didn’t happen, but if you can build a good brand once, you can do it again. This time you have experience and connects. You are 100% on the right path otherwise they wouldn’t have come for you. Looking forward to your next up and coming project

[@PaydayPickups]

appreciate the love and support so much man! You will see Episodes Project get big man!!

[@tippieststeak7102]

I bought a pair of trousers a while back from a company called plisse productions, they sold a similar product. Their website disappeared after a short while. It’s really sad that Issey Miyake are coming after small up and coming brands especially when like you said there’s so many alternates available in well known high street brands. I was actually interested in purchasing a pair from Issey Miyake too but after hearing this I think I’ll pass. Good luck with your new brand man!

[@scarface3291]

So sad to hear bro, glad to see you pushing on with a new brand! and I’m guessing the business who sued was Issy Miyake?

[@PaydayPickups]

thank you man! Got to keep moving forwards!

[@JoshSullivanFashion]

As if they have the time to be doing that, it’s Shocking from them, sueing a small start up. Good luck for the new brand though man it looks clean!

[@PaydayPickups]

so frustrating bro! Thanks man, seems like your brand is going really well too!

[@johnmelchico-bronx657]

crazy I warned you about this potentially happening, with the same situation happened to CL owner, whether your small fish in a big pond or big fish in a small pond I knew they’d come for you regardless but glad it’s all settled & the new brand will bring you even more success man, wishing you the best.

[@ktroopa]

That is messed up that they bully smaller brands that cannot defend themselves in court. At the same time, you talk about putting hard work but you didn't even design the pants. You can't completely be a victim here.

[@PaydayPickups]

Yeah very annoying, and that’s completely understandable and I agree with your point! Here’s to making Episodes Project the next big brand!

[@gedjpeg]

Dude this is gut wrenching, but I’m mad excited to see what you come up with in the future! Fkin smashing it and some amazing lessons learned at such a young age - excited for the come back!

[@PaydayPickups]

Thanks so much bro! Exactly every failure is always a bigger lesson!

[@DontAtMe]

This is why we can’t fw big brands man. Drain the life out of small businesses who cater for the people at affordable prices but not the brands that can afford the legal fees. Best of luck with your new project and let’s boycott Issey 🤣

[@PaydayPickups]

hahah so annoying bro! thank you so much man

[@lylesarchive2133]

Such a shame this is how the Ultra Pleats story ended. But every cloud has a silver lining, I guess. You're doing bits tho! Keep at it :)

[@PaydayPickups]

yeah very sad times but we move forward! thanks bro!

[@gpu213]

In one way I see their point, it was definitely them that popularised the design, but as you say, it's like if levis sued everyone who made jeans just because they did it first - they can't own such a basic concept as pleating, which is a construction technique, its like if a musician claimed that they "owned" the note C sharp, because they used it first, doesn't really make sense and they clearly only targeted you when many others are releasing similar designs because they knew you wouldn't be able to afford to fight them over it. Sucks but at the end of the day just keep it moving.

[@PaydayPickups]

exactly man no point dwelling on it! Got to keep pushing forwards!

[@Robin-2350]

Sad to have to give up something after putting so much work in it :/ keep on grinding bro

[@PaydayPickups]

trust me bro :/ got something else exciting lined up

[@mattjames]

you had them SHOOK. Great vid+storytelling bro! Studio looking clean now!

[@PaydayPickups]

Appreciate it!! yeah studio is coming together very nicely

[@cazmilligan8]

the growth you had in such a small period of time was threatening to them bro, there’s enough room & money for everyone to eat so just come back with episodes & take over🚀📈

[@PaydayPickups]

100% bro, Episodes and Auriri to the moon! Hope you enjoyed the video man

[@renocicchi7346]

After making a new clothing business and when you have enough money to protect yourself legally, do ultra pleats again! I can’t believe we have to be rich to experience justice. That’s like literally the antithesis of justice.

[@Tylerconco]

gotta say big ups to you for not giving up bro

[@PaydayPickups]

thank you bro! each failure is a lesson

[@notshami]

happy to see another video from you bro, regardless of what happened you're going to become more and more successful, keep it up

[@PaydayPickups]

thanks for the constant support man!

[@nealhodgins1651]

Sad to come to an end like that, love all the episodes reworks though!

[@PaydayPickups]

yeah honestly so annoying, thanks bro!

[@tvinenko5284]

what about licenses to fight club/bradd pitt ? Episodes cool brand btw

[@CMdoesMC]

Keep your head up bro, on to bigger and better things!

[@PaydayPickups]

thanks so much man! we always build stronger after bad things! What do you think of the new brand Episodes Project?

[@abrahamisaacsalomon9738]

so sad bro, hope you crush it with your new brand!

[@finmeister2929]

If anyone wants to know the brand as he can’t legally say I’m pretty sure it’s issey miyake

[@jumjum517]

Yeah, I think he could then get sued for defamation because we would all go hate on them lol

[@rafrick]

The lawsuit was unfortunate but the new brand uses unlicensed prints and artwork. Tyler durden and unlicensed frank ocean/Tyler prints just on the homepage.

[@报纸-w6z]

Not accusing you of anything, however, these greyish and black waffle trousers look a lot like the ones from Bershka. Having said that it would be soooo interesting to know how this all unfolded. I mean just like in the music industry, nearly every design or print etc has already been used by some brand. If it's not like 1:1, where's the legal basis? Edit: finished the video and as i mentioned above not just you or other brands sell this type of clothing. Just like others already pointed out, they came for you because as mostly in life the ones with more money end up getting it their way. BUT by building your first brand and learning about the tricks and dirty tricks of the industry i'm sure your new brand(s) will succeed. Keep up the good work.

[@PaydayPickups]

glad you enjoyed the story, exactly going to put my everything into the new brand!

[@Whocasperrantz]

New brand looks harder than the last 🔥

[@thewrightfitness3953]

What brand was it?

[@yassirrahman2941]

it was issey miyake wasn’t it

[@hamzajawed3184]

Glad I managed to cop a pair before honestly does not compare to regular brands pleats 🔥

[@RK-lq2ud]

Now I'm gonna a knock off Isey Miyake from Chinese websites :) F Big brands

[@gregorypismiris5781]

Bro, anyone can do this with anything? That’s ridiculous dude you have to find a cheaper lawyer who knows a little more.

[@gregorypismiris5781]

Think about your next project, you can’t be thinking oh no that’s not a good idea someone has a completely different yet similar product already..

[@pamwaldron2566]

@@gregorypismiris5781 right? Like no one else can make shoes or pants because we did it before you. I'd probably get into trouble, because once I found out they had no legal standing, my reply would be 2 capital letters. NO.

[@d6rk-y7n3]

what if you just ghosted them? lol

[@AndrewMclean]

Absolute joke, wait til Episodes goes global then buy their dead business and burn it to the ground 😂

[@PaydayPickups]

Hahaha we'll be global in a couple of years!! Hope you're all good bro!

[@andigarcia8328]

Make another brand bro!

[@PaydayPickups]

I've got one bro! Episodes Project

[@PattyTH]

It was issey I guess. Keep it up ✌️

[@gregorypismiris5781]

Are you kidding me?! You need to seek more legal advice. Contact 5 solicitors and see their 5 responses. Go with the best.

[@theag3880]

It was fear bro they were scared

[@PaydayPickups]

exactly bro!

[@Madchad6969]

Wo else sells pleats issey miyake

[@DrawingBase]

Don't give up

[@PaydayPickups]
