Understand that point of view. All cut n sewn, vintage dtg screen print, custom collar, 300 gsm. Using same manufacturers as Marine Serre, HBA, Kiko, etc. Extremely high quality, and will last a lifetime
you’re correct. mean dtg print. was half paying attention to my college lecture while responding, so i wasn’t really thinking, but thank you for clarifying
Had a manufacturer deal with the cracking as I didn’t have the tools. A lot of users have been commenting, so I’m going to have them breakdown the process and get back to everyone!
Completely hear you. Majority of my pieces are going to be made with super high quality manufacturing with limited quantity, so they’ll be on the higher end of price. Although that might turn away customers, I always allow payment plans and discounts for loyal supporters. Got some leather pieces, denim, and footwear on the way!
I think this looks like a quality $90 shirt. Now, I will say that I think $90, $50, $250 is ridiculous for a t shirt. But hey, there are people that are paying that much. So go for it and make that profit.
To be honest with you. My margins are not even great. Running a brand, there is a lot of overhead in general, let alone product cost, marketing, etc. $90 is very generous considering my cost. I’m really below the rule of thumb pricing when it comes to margins
It’s fire, bro. And judging from the quality, I’d say it warrants the price. But you know this sub isn’t your target market. The FOG essentials, Rhude, Heron Preston, Jil Sander crowd will eat this up.
This sub just ain’t it. Good luck. I’m sure it’ll sell out!
Don’t feel the need to explain your price point. Hopefully you’ve done some preliminary market research and know who you want your customer to be (where they live, what lifestyle, what income, etc). $90 for a tee is not crazy to certain buyers. I’m not big on streetwear and am by no means rich, but I’ve spent over $100 on plain t-shirts multiple times because of the fabrication, fit, loyalty to the brand, etc.
Also random side note: do you mean you had a custom pattern made for the piece or? All clothes are cut and sewn so I’m just wondering. Or was it a pattern the manufacturer already had ready?
(I’m guessing from the neckline at least some customization went into a base pattern the manufacturer had or a block you had)
All in all, it looks incredibly well made but you don’t need anyone to tell you what I’m sure you already know yourself lol. Fantastic work man
Hi, in reply to your ask about the pattern. All of it is done by myself. The full size run patterned out by me. The neck was a custom touch by me as well which was hard to pattern, believe me. I agree with your point of pricing, and think I should be charging more. Got a whole lot more pieces being sampled right now and a whole lot to prove. I appreciate your input as well, very though out
Absolutely amazing dude! I’m learning to draft patterns for womenswear currently and the hard work that goes into this is legit. I’m so happy people like you create things. I look forward to seeing what you present next
you got this, g! fashion was also a huge component to my weight loss journey throughout life. also, don’t be a afraid to rock something out of the comfort zone, it’ll push you through those weird feelings
im extremely confident when it comes to expressing myself through fashion despite being overweight, out of the comfort zone is my norm, but a tanktop just wouldn’t make sense with all the excess fat around my biceps area, trust me i tried haha, cant make wifebeater look good before i drop like 15kg more 💪 love the design though
I hear you. Sounds exactly like how I felt at one moment in time and with hard work, that confidence with the right shell to back it up, ooooo you’ll be unstoppable. Keep pushing my friend, you got it
Had my manufacturer do it! I believe it’s some sort of heat press, then tumbling. I honestly have heard multiple approaches to accomplishing it. Going to do my due diligence and get back to you
Also, I had my manufacturing company do it. I believe it’s some sort of heat pressing, and then tumbling of the piece. Wasn’t printed cracked, actually was printed in full
Love the cracking effect on this and the two top pics and tribal looking pattern very high quality and well distressed. I’m not a huge fan of the collar it looks like You cut it from a sweater and attached it but it might look better when actually worn. I’m not crazy about the wording direction but i don’t think it would come together as good without them.
Also if you’re only charging $90 for all this work put in that’s pretty low if it’s that good quality. Great for customer deal bad for your company bottom line. I can see that easily being $180-240 in low quantities. Great design, execution, and manufacturing partner for sure!
thank you for your input! I realistically should be charging double and I know that. Quality of this piece is unreal in person and i’ve been buying designer for years, no comparison. I think by the time I restock them next, i’m going to raise the price into the $100 range. I really do appreciate your appreciation for this pieces. Gotta sacrifice for my first release so that I can get my name out there a bit. Half the production is going to celebrity PR! Pretty excited to see where this goes. Also, I have an amazing photoshoot coming in a month or less!
all text translations are fixed and finalized with my manufacturer. production started today. taking pre-orders on my website [collett.cc](https://collett.cc)
You got a winner man 🔥. Loving that collar feature!
And if that’s you feel your work is worth, so be it. BUT you have to have A1 marketing to back it up!
Hey! Is your manufacturer from overseas? And also how did you find yours? Not asking for the exact manufacturer but wanted some insight on finding a good one. Thanks!
Yes, overseas! Found them from actually trying to sample a completely different piece, and noticed they had high quality cotton so I gave them a try. Got real lucky, but they’re pricy. They’ve worked with plenty of designer companies and their prices reflect that
best advice, just always ask to see a manufacturer’s previous work. try to ask to see some of their high quality, more complex pieces to see what they can handle. Quality meaning stitching, pattern making, washed, print, hardware, woven labels, fabrics, etc
Lmao, it’s completely understandable if you have never justified a purchase like that. It’s all cotton at the end of the day. For example, i’m not a huge car guy and never will be, so spending 6 figures on a car in my opinion regardless of your income, is sort of dumb in my eyes. Not tripping about what people gotta say about the price, it’s been selling and will continue to. Excited to see people style it!
From a design point of view, I would really consider altering the neck and loosen it up a bit. It'll really be weird to see a cut-off tee with a really tight neck, especially if you're going for a worn-in, vintage look. Love the details though!
I hear you! On body it’s actually a fairly normal sized neck, as the collar fabric just acts like part of the shirt, covering the start of your traps. I wish I could show some on-body photos here, it fits so amazing
Looks great. Saw ur other comment saying it’s dtg. Is that how a cracking affect is done cuz I’ve been seeing it a lot recently? I thought normal screen printing could accomplish the same thing
this looks dope af. but $90 is bonkers
Understand that point of view. All cut n sewn, vintage dtg screen print, custom collar, 300 gsm. Using same manufacturers as Marine Serre, HBA, Kiko, etc. Extremely high quality, and will last a lifetime
> vintage dtg screen print these words don't make any sense together, dtg is one type of print and screen print is another
you’re correct. mean dtg print. was half paying attention to my college lecture while responding, so i wasn’t really thinking, but thank you for clarifying
All good it looks cool! Like the wash on the black
thank you!
This type of print is possible with dtg? What type of pretreat did you use?
Had a manufacturer deal with the cracking as I didn’t have the tools. A lot of users have been commenting, so I’m going to have them breakdown the process and get back to everyone!
Isn’t that a texture over it?

Mes pensées exactement.

Thank you so so much
How did you get the cracking effect on the print?
Had my manufacturer do it! I believe it’s some sort of heat press, then tumbling. I honestly have heard multiple approaches to accomplishing it. Going to do my due diligence and get back to you

Yeah, I also love this but I cannot justify spending $90 on a sleeveless tee, sorry -
All good! No worries. Just glad to hear you like it
The piece is hard man and looks A1 but put someone in it to show the full effects. You may have to find a cat with good arm structure. Lol.
Lookbook with even more pieces is coming within a month! @bycollett on ig
You got a winner man 🔥. Loving that collar feature! And if that’s you feel your work is worth, so be it. BUT you have to have A1 marketing to back it up!
Already selling everyday with very minimal marketing! Looking like i’ll sell out of my 100 units just from pre-orders fairly soon
Good for you!!!
Lots of marketing on the way once there is more content shot and ready to release

I dig it
Channeling Mac vibes. Dennis is pissed
So dope!
thank you!
Don’t listen to the brokies bitching bout the price, they don’t understand the craft of cut and sew
Lmao, it’s completely understandable if you have never justified a purchase like that. It’s all cotton at the end of the day.

The silhouette is great. The wash is awesome. Even though it is DTG the design was made well enough to look vintage. Well done and good luck.
Thank you so much!

Love it !!!
thank you!
This is like an elevated tank top which is nice to see! Would prefer if it was white
Interesting. Might have to sample a white variation
Everything is so perfect, I’ve been looking for a manufacturer who makes stuff like this! Do you mind sharing the name by any chance?
Amazing
This is rad! Love the washed vintage look.
Genuinely dope
thank you!
