I’m currently working on starting astreetwear/gym clothing brand. We already have the shirts and a printer who can put the designs on them. Right now, we’re looking for an artist who can create original designs for our shirts.

Our first drop is going to be centered around a quasar theme, so if that sounds like something you’d be interested in, reply to this post and I’ll message you individually.

We’d also like to see some of your previous work so we can get a feel for your style. We’re lookingfor someone who communicates well, is reliable, and is willing to stay dedicated throughout the process for this first drop.

Let me know if y’all have any questions!

Hi I’m looking for potential manufactures for a gaming team, embroidery and print with custom labels. Reasonably price, starting with 1 sample then if satisfied many more. Please message me 🙏🏻 thank you.

I’m doing some research before launching a streetwear brand, and I’d rather build something people actually want instead of copying what’s already out there.

I’d love to hear your opinions on any of these:

• What type of streetwear do you actually buy? (minimalist, oversized, luxury, Y2K, vintage, techwear, Japanese-inspired, graphic-heavy, etc.)
• What clothing pieces do you buy the most? (hoodies, tees, sweatpants, cargos, zip-ups, jackets, shorts, hats, accessories)
• What kinds of designs catch your attention? Big back prints? Small embroidered logos? Puff print? Washed/vintage looks? Anime? Nature? Cars? Abstract? Typography?
• What makes you instantly decide not to buy a brand?
• What’s something you wish more streetwear brands would make?
• What’s a brand you think gets it right, and why?

Feel free to be brutally honest. Even if it’s just one opinion, I’d really appreciate it. I’m trying to create something people genuinely enjoy wearing rather than another generic brand with a random logo slapped on a hoodie.

Thanks in advance!

I wanna make a luxury’s pants brand but I’m new to making cloths and I want to know what’s the best way to get a manufacturer that can get me samples and product

I’ve been building my brand Unbound Order for almost a year now and dropped for the first time earlier this month. One thing I still haven’t figured out is the best way to handle duties and tariffs for US customers.

I’m based in Canada and manufacture my products overseas. I ship all the orders myself in Canada but since my clothes are manufactured overseas, US customers are still charged tarriffs.

I’m torn between two options:

1. Charge the customer the tarriff fees at checkout.

This is more transparent and would probably create a better customer experience but seeing an extra $40 USD at checkout would likely hurt conversions.

2. Have customers pay the fees on delivery.

This would keep the checkout price lower but customers might be upset when the have to pay the tarriff fee on delivery.

I would clearly state at checkout that the customer is responsible for any duties or tariffs, so they would be warned beforehand. I also understand that most customers would probably be more frustrated with the government or shipping carrier than with the brand, since brands are not the ones creating these tariffs.

Still, I don’t want customers to feel frustrated.

I’m trying to find the right balance between customer satisfaction and conversion rate. The store needs to generate enough sales for me to re-invest in future drops, but I also want to create a strong long-term customer experience and build a base of repeat customers.

How do other Canadian or international clothing brands handle this? Do you collect duties upfront, leave them to the customer on delivery, or build the cost into your pricing?

Really curious to hear what has worked best for both conversions and customer satisfaction.
