Worst Brand of the Month Goes to Millionaire Lifestyle

Man I have come across some shit in this biz trust me this is not the worst of it. But this shit is pretty bad. First off don’t Jack another Brands logo. Im sure diamond supply has got something to say about this shit. I think that brand is way out of their league they need to head back to the art room and come up with something different then what as already been done 100 time before. This shit ant no joke these dumb asses are charging 48.00 + shipping for a fucking tee.That Tee better jerk me off when I get it.

Here are a few of their unimaginative Designs.

At my visit to Showroom 1201, I met with a man named Eric Shorter also goes by the name of “E Shorter”. A very nice guy, seems like the type of guy where you can stand there and converse with him for hours and not get bored. At the moment he is packing some serious Radii footwear & a load of Radii snapbacks. He also has some Life Clothing gear that is also pretty awesome. But what really caught my eyes the most were the Silvano Apparel accessories. One of the most amazing pair of glasses & watches I have ever laid my eyes on. I tried a pair on and they were great ! But seeing that E Shorter is down with Life Clothing, Radii, & Silvano Apparel, he holds a Digital Marauders Shirt w/ a Digital Marauders bag & and a Touch Clothing key chain.

I was impressed with this clothing company, recently tested out two shirts and a sweatshirt. After being worn and washed a couple of times, the lettering and the design, everything was the way it was when I started with it, still looks brand new. Even the Ink for the screen printing remained the same, no cracking. It did shrink a bit but nothing to epic, just a little bit. What did bother me was I feel as if the shirts were kind of plain and simple, Clutch Clothing seems really open minded and has many different designs and lettering when it comes to their clothing just this one doesn’t seem to eye-catching. You want to make a shirt where people will stare as your walking by or make the type of shirt where people will stop you and ask where did you buy it. So seeing that this company has the potential to make great designs, it needs to spread it’s imagination, take it to a whole new level. Don’t just settle for different colored shirts and different fonts. Don’t be repetitive with your work. But overall, i did feel as if the company is a good company. Comforting clothing, seem like great people. Always respond to their customers and always trying to spread the word of their new stuff. Hosting events like promo parties and fashion shows, so i can see the effort in this company. So i give a thumbs up to the people at & of clutching clothing company.

So this is a kind of i’m young & reckless type of dress wear. Dressing like this will you get you the title of the “swag” you want. The “Tumblr Swag” that everyone looks to have. Well here it is, the apparel of Hip-Hop artists and stars and some of the most infamous people of instagram, twitter, tumblr, facebook, etc.

AMBIGUOUS 2012

First off thanks to everyone that has stuck around through out all the bullshit we put up with. Now lets get dirty again. I have Seen AMBIGUOUS for the past few years, but I have never really took the time to check it out. For some reason I thought it was a Snow board brand. AMBIGUOUS Sent us out a packet to review a few months back and we kick the crap out of it. So lets get into it. Right off the back the prints where kinda week but that’s any easy fix just fire the shit head who designed them. Don’t get it really wrong we like a few prints – the south west looking one and the joy division v-neck (sick prints). Every other print you need to fire that designer and get a new one.

For the Cut and Sew – this shit was amazing and we never give a brand props like that. The denim jeans Sick!!! The cuts on these are fucking sick. They felt great, fit great, washed great and made my dick look bigger. The placement of the trims is Boss no joke Boss. We are kinda Jean Snobs at the clapback but these just made the top 10 list. If you are premium jean slut then these should be hanging in your closet. We Skated, fixed geared and BMXed the shit out of these jeans and not one fucking rip.

WHoooo let me get off the Jean dick for a sec and chat about the shorts. Cut wise there was nothing new but the quality of the construction it top notch. The choice of fabric was sick as well. Once again placement of the trims was on target. This would be money well spent for a grade A pair of shorts. The Jean Jacket was a little tuff since it was 80 in NYC the cut was a little boxy but the over all construction was worth its weight in weed.  Trims where not placed to well on the jacket but who gives a shit the jacket took a beating as well.

Hats of to the designer who came up with the hang tags. The packaging of the garments was neat perfect. The packet tag with all the different cuts listed on it GREAT fucking idea. Over all the brand is worth the money you spend on it. Come 58.00 price point one jeans that will last more then one season. What more can you ask for. This is a sick brand with great quality for a great price.

First off this shit has been done before. Thats it no more say well and it looks like shit.

FAQ Clothing

When I first got the catalog from this company I was not very impressed at all. The designs looked kinda weak. This is a prime example why we do not write reviews from Cads or photos. When I got my grab box in the mail (and we will talk about that in a second) I changed my tune. The photos and catalog prints do not show the real garment quality.

Ok so here we go. This first photo here is of the grab box that you get when you order the Mystery box that comes with 3 tees of their choice . I love this shit!!!!! These guys took the time to give me something for spending my hard erned money. The presentation of this box was fucking rad. From the box to the tissue paper, the stickers on the box and paper that comes inside. Its not like some of the shit i get in the mail that goes right to salvation army( and yes for all of you that have heard the rumor i did drop off a box Ice Cream clothing at the salvation army). This cool shit that FAQ took the time to put into this order made me get off my ass and pass it around to a few of my friends. Now that I have stroked these guys off enough with the box that my shirts came in, now we can get to the Tees them self. Most brands would just pick the shitty AAA tee to print their art work on. Now i am not going to name names on the brands that do this(Crooks and Castle, BBC, Ice cream) I am above that kind of shit talking.  These guys pick a very nice cut and sew  soft cotton tee, it’s worth the price they are asking for it. Price for the mystery box is 40.00 plus 5.00 for shipping for 3 tees not a bad price. Just a tee goes for 18.00 plus 5.00 for shipping still not a bad price. I really like the tees with bright colors being in NY the land of black and grey I Tend to move to the colors faster. The down fall of the brand is that I would like to know more about them. Why have the chosen to be minimalist? What is the reason to their art? I just want to know more about them who they are and what they are about. I like to spend money with people I know support my lifestyle, or a brand that I can relate to. But other then that i’m fucking down with FAQ clothing next time kids send us the paper peel tee . Great Job kitties keep it up now it’s time to add some cut and sew to your brand.  One last thing get the fuck out of the hipster game stores are over ordering that kinda crap.

Get your ass to the site and pick up a tee you bitches.

Street Stealth LA = Hitler’s Personal Army ?

Street Stealth LA clothing

I will keep this to the point and let historical facts speak for themselves. Anyone who has a smidgen of intelligence has heard of Hitler, the Third Reich and the infamous SS. Their logo is one of the most poignant  images ever created by man, and connotes unspeakable horrors and the genocide of millions.

Taken from wikipedia:

The  Schutzstaffel (help·info) (German for “Protection Squadron”), abbreviated SS—or  (Runic)—was a major Nazi organization under Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. The SS grew from a small paramilitary unit to a powerful force that served as the Führer‘s “Praetorian Guard,” the Nazi Party’s “Shield Squadron” and a force that, fielding almost a million men (both on the front lines and as political police), managed to exert as much political influence in the Third Reich as the Wehrmacht, Germany’s regular armed forces. Built upon the Nazi ideology, the SS, under Heinrich Himmler‘s command, was responsible for many of the crimes against humanity perpetrated by the Nazis during World War II, and most of the particularly egregious ones.

Here is a clear image of their “logo”:

Here are t-shirt “designs” by the clothing company Street Stealth LA:

As if the intended usage of one of the worst images you could think of is not enough, there is an added elements of drips, which just happen to be red and highly reminiscent of blood (on the white tee). Are they joking ? What kind of perverse and sick person would ever dare to put that on a shirt ? They claim they are almost sold out, so it is even worse that people are buying this. It is beyond disgusting and so hugely offensive, that i call upon all you people with a common sense to not only boycott this company but to send them a stern email on their more than serious “misstep”, granted it is one, and this is not some undercover white power movement. Take a stand and make it clear that we, the people, refuse to accept this sort of fascist propaganda on garments, whether or not it was intentional. This is not a joke!!! MILLIONS of people died at the hands of the SS! It is not any sort of statement besides a symbol of hate and thus completely inexcusable. We are all one people and we have to fight hard to keep tolerance and respect for all creeds, sexualities, religions etc. in our society in order to create a positive world. Do not let people and “companies” step on this vision and misuse images of horrors that actually took place a mere 65 years ago  for a FUCKING T-SHIRT!

We were sent two tees by this California based company, so here’s the scoop. I want to review this company in two ways: the first one purely fashion based, the second purely based off of their “philosophy” which they tried to convey on their website. Let’s start with the gear: they make 6 t-shirts. This is not a “collection”, sorry!  But hey, we’re in a recession, and everyone’s cutting down. So let’s move forward from that, but it had to be said, that this is nowhere near a complete line. I do have to say though, these are dope designs. I like almost the entire “line”….i wasn’t blown away, but i like them. We were sent these two:

Maybe i’m jaded cause i just watched “Tyson”, an amazing documentary about Iron Mike, so i loved that design. A nice two tone, pixelated, interesting design. Straightforward, clean and simple. Not much more to add. The “Old Dirty Bastard is in heaven” tee is a bit silly, i mean is he really ?, but it’s a cool way to rep for all the fans, ODB as we knew him: dirty. I don’t know what the source was for the original picture and i have to laugh at ODB ever being an angel, but hey, for the fans, this is a cool RIP tee. Both prints were nicely done, on a fairly standard tee, with details being the logo on the left sleeve as well as a printed logo and details inside the neck. Not much more and no prints on the back. All in all, i’d rock either one a few times, definitely the Tyson one.

Since this is a small “line”, i  might as well feature all the other designs as well:

I like the logo, but in general not a fan of rockin’ logo tees, the lion design reminiscent of stukko or ornamental decorations on and inside of old buildings, has been done to death by the likes of Green Apple Tree and similar, but the fishscale design as well as the “Real Men Wear Black” (really?) are very nicely executed. Once again clean and simple, yet geometrically intricate, interesting layouts and classy enough to be rocked with a blazer, these really represent the highlights of the “collection” to me. All in all, there is not one tee that i did not like, it’s a solid start, and i hope they will be able to translate their clean t-shirt designs into a full line of cut and sew and other articles. Best of Luck!

I do have to talk about this company’s mission statement a little, as well as their website. Though it’s layed out quite nicely, the very first picture is a congregation of muslims praying in a mosque. Though the logo is a pretty straight rip from the turkish flag (the owner’s name looks spanish to me so i am not sure what the connection is there), i see the connection to the muslims praying but then again, that is religion you’re bringing into the picture, and that already turns me off right off the bat. Keep that out of streetwear. There is no need for it and nowhere else on this site are you making any sort of religious reference, so this is just completely unnecessary. Another thing: here is an excerpt from the mission statement…

“Produced in California and currently focusing on men’s clothing, the Apollo Kids’ line is a reflection of who we were, who we are and who we what to be (the past, present and future). Each design represents a significant influence on the Apollo Kids, which could be anything from music to the arts to social issues. Admittedly the line is only a tool to support a greater cause.

The Apollo Kids’ main cause is to motivate and support individuals to make the world the way they see fit. Whether that’s politically, artistically, spiritually, environmentally, it does not matter, as long the individual recognizes his/her own strengths and passions and utilizes them to the fullest. In essence…”

So your influences are Tyson and Old Dirty Bastard. Fair enough. But what social issues are you addressing ? And if this line is only a tool to support a greater cause, which cause is that ? Where is my money going ? I’d love it if this was some sort of charity i’m supporting but please don’t spew out big ideas with no support whatsoever. And if your main cause is to “motivate and support individuals to make the world as they see fit, whether it’s politically, (…), spiritually, environmentally….” what exactly are you referring to ? Are you fighting the pollution of the oceans ? Who are you supporting politically ? And what do you mean “it does not matter” ??? Are you out of your mind ? IT MATTERS VERY MUCH!!! The KKK is really only a group of individuals making the world as they see fit. Do you support them as well ? This is such a wishy washy all over the place statement, you’re much better off to just say: “I love design. Here are some cool tees.” Don’t try to make it something bigger without having any details to back what the hell you’re saying. To quote Mr. Chappelle: “When keeping it real goes wrong!”

Last piece of advice: don’t sell one color prints at $32 dollars a tee, and please tell us on your site which stores you’re in. Best of luck, the clapback will keep watchin ya!
