I don't think doing that RC car racing thing helped your guy's rep either.

Thread title proves it. | Just playing devils advocate here but they obviously have a paid partnership with revscene and are just advertising their store... It's no different than those banners you see. Posted via RS Mobile | |

I wouldn't shop there for a few reasons
1: I've only heard of one brand that they sell
2: shipping costs. They may be less than they used to be, but they're more then driving to the store
3: Fitment. This adds to #2. If something doesn't fit, and we all know diffrent brands have different sizes, you have to send it back, and the shipping cost add up
4: time. This again goes with #3. If i want clothes, I can go to a store and try them on, purchase, and wear that day. Online, it can take a week to get the stuff, and if it doesn't fit, add 2 weeks to get the proper fit in, which may or may not be the right size.
5: price. All the online shopping I see out of the states is less than half price to comparable stuff on this site. I have actually heard of the stuff from the american stores however. I can still go to West 49 and get brand name stuff for cheaper than this site.
I'm sure there are more reasons why It's easier, cheaper and faster to go to the mall or random store to buy clothes, but my small list should be enough.
I didn't want to bash the site, just trying to clear up some concerns people are having. | You guys clearly know nothing about this target market or really, fashion in general.
1. Not their fault you aren't involved in the streetwear market.
2. If you shop online at say, Karmaloop, the prices will be the same, but in US dollars and with higher shipping costs. Have you ever shipped anything? Shirts at a minimum, cost about 5$ to ship.
3. The same goes for anywhere online.
4. The same goes for anywhere online.
5. Their prices are perfectly reasonable for what they're selling. They don't just make up the prices out of thin air. Have fun wearing sweet West 49 gear!

So please stop thinking LRG, Crooks, and Creative Recreation is considered streetwear.

im just going to name a few brands off the top of my head
Supreme
Neighborhood
Maiden Noir
Huf
Wtaps
Black Scale
these brands haven't sold out and they are moving on to better stuff where as the brands that karmaloop and blackmarkers sell are still printing colorful graphic tshirts like its still 2006.

Wow didn't follow up with this thread, or this forum at all for a while. Been busy developing a brand new site.
Anyways, any feedback is a good feedback.
And yes we do listen and try to improve.
A note about karmaloop, we don't like them, we don't like how they do business, but hey, they made 60mill in annual sales last year.
