My friends and I started up a clothing company

This project has been in the works for about 2 months, but has been kept on the downlow till about now cause we had to make sure our shit looked right. I will be posting pictures of myself wearing the stuff. The website is almost done, we just printed out our first hoodies, hats, t - shirts, and girl t's. The company is called Knuckle Up Fight Wear. We've got some good shit. Check it out!www.knuckleupfightwear.com

Wish u all the best hun...but my house got broken into last nite by some young twit that thinks hes tough and smart ...guess I could picture someone like him wanting to wear a brand with knuckleupfightwear all over it ....sad ...sorry guess Im not really that supportive of the name....but hey maybe its partly because I'm still trying to get over that someone was in here while I was sleeping sad

So what exactly do you do on this project? I take it you're not a clothes designer? Or am I wrong?

The pictures in the gallery look cool, but I must admit that it annoys me that the thumbnails don't show the clothes at all, and it annoys me even more that the full-size pictures just barely show the clothes. But I guess all that will be solved when the online shop gets opened, because surely you will have clear pictures of the clothes there?

Anyway, I like the overall design of the website. Very stylish! thumbs up!

Dude, that is so awesome! I've been wanting to start an online company too. It seems like it would be easier and less expensive than renting some property to open a store. Do you have any tips for someone who is just getting started? biggrin

The clothing (i.e. beeniesa, glove wraps, sweaters, halter tops, hats, etc) are on the people in the pictures!

It cost me a total of 700 bucks so far, there are 3 of us. I paid for the printing of the hoodie and sweatshirt that I designed, the other costs went towards building a web sight, getting promotional flyers, and paying for a small late night radio commercial.

Yes as far as the clothes showing, once the online store is open that will be solved. I designed 2 of the shirts. The site is still under construction we just got our first shipment in yesterday. We will begin sales today.

She's cute in a beetlejuice kind of way.

I like Goth girls like that. But I never picture them in a fighting ring, being that they're too busy locked up in their bedrooms listening to Haunted-House music and waiting for night to come so they can go out dancing and calling up the dead. shrug

I'd buy one but I'm in my 30's now. If a flaming gay runway queen of a man won't wear it, I won't consider it anymore. sigh
