Do me a favour, please! DEAD EASY - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

Jeimuzu · 27th Dec 2008, 02:53 PM

Just check out this website. It sells t-shirts. Tell me what you think. And no, it's not my website, and no, I'm not being paid a commission. It's my cousin's tshirt company, and I just think it's awesome =] he's trying desperately to get it making a profit at the moment, but really struggling because he's not getting enough publicity and so on.

http://www.truebelieverclothing.com/

He's had his Dead Elvis shirt worn by a TV presenter and the lead singer of a band at an awards bash, so they're pretty damned cool. =] Thanks!

littledinosaurs · 27th Dec 2008, 02:59 PM

they're cool

Dazed · 27th Dec 2008, 03:41 PM

i like the shirts.

i would say use myspace to get more people to see it.
and he could put a link on there so people could get to the site you posted..

Jeimuzu · 27th Dec 2008, 05:27 PM

Thanks guys =] I'm gonna link from my myspace and stuff when i get around to it. More publicity the better, since he's really talented I think.

Nixon · 28th Dec 2008, 12:41 AM

no offense

but I don't like it

Jace · 28th Dec 2008, 01:40 AM

They're cool, I could see them being real popular in a store like pac sun, or maybe urban outfitters

Not really my style though
I've tried to distance myself farrr away from fake vintage

And the whole screen tee fad

riddlerno1 · 28th Dec 2008, 04:26 AM

They look cool, but just a tad expensive for me! im a poor student!

Daniel · 28th Dec 2008, 08:25 AM

I like em! But I am sadly dirt poor.

-Michael- · 28th Dec 2008, 08:41 AM

I love the drop beats not bombs one. :')

I'll post the link around where i can.
But he needs more designs...

desperately

He's not been doing it long! Half of the shirts are really new designs =] including drop beats not bombs, actually, and dead sid.

starfish · 28th Dec 2008, 01:45 PM

I like the drop beats not bombs shirt. That is pretty slick.

Not exactly my taste in shirts, but is the guy wearing the shirts for sale?

RaRa · 28th Dec 2008, 01:47 PM

I like the shirts.

If i order one does it come with the model?

**Gerry** · 28th Dec 2008, 01:47 PM

They're nice shirts. Not something I'm into or would wear, but I'm sure there are a lot out there who would say otherwise.

Ram1987 · 29th Dec 2008, 07:08 PM

Very nice!

Micah · 29th Dec 2008, 10:36 PM

The prices might be the reason why not many are selling.

Check out the tshirts on http://www.threadless.com/

They are equally well designed, yet are selling for less than a third of the price after conversion. People who buy tshirts online generally aren't going to pay as much as they would in store.

Tim · 29th Dec 2008, 10:42 PM

What Micah said... one shirt for ~$35 american dollars? That's... close to highway robbery, >_<

And OMG Micah, now I want that "Origami turned my pants into this shirt" Shirt -.-

Jeimuzu · 13th Feb 2009, 02:40 PM

Jay, I love you.

He can't actually make the prices any lower and cover his costs. He has two jobs at the moment. Threadless can because their mass production and batch orders allow for much lower overheads.

JustBecause · 13th Feb 2009, 03:57 PM

I love them! Especially the 'drop beats, not bombs' one. I think I may have to get it, actually

Good thing he ships internationally

**Lexington** · 13th Feb 2009, 04:22 PM

Try this. Open a window to the main page of the website. Make it fullscreen. Then invite someone into the room, let them get fairly close, and ask them what the website is. Chances are, they won't be able to tell. It might be a band website, or a webdesign website.

To me, this is a major problem.

He's selling T-shirts, and there's no T-shirts on the main page. The MAIN graphic on the main webpage - taking up a huge section of the page - should be a visually-arresting person wearing the most kick-ass T-shirt he makes.

Not necessarily a major hottie (of either gender), but somebody that makes people look. A guy wearing a blindfold. A woman wearing a motorcycle helmet. A guy in a gorilla suit, a fursuit, dressed as (yes) a robot. Something unusual like that.
