6:47 this is the most important, overlooked, and misunderstood information that i’ve been waiting for you to address and i’m glad you finally discussed it
I’d love to see you guys do a review on some of the plain shirts and products from a company in Japan called UES, I think you would really like their stuff
there is a market for high end blanks. to my knowledge theres only one place that does cut and sew high end blanks and its regalia blanks. i tried them and tbh the best blank ive came across. only thing its hard to purchase because they aren't always in stock.
Just cut 100 square centimeter sqaure out of the fabric and weigh it? No cutter needed? Make a 100 square centimeter plastic frame and sell it ? That way people can easily mark it ?
I love these videos! Can I ask, for brands like Amiri and Gucci etc a lot of their items like T-shirts are labelled as dry clean only for what is a cotton T-shirt. I get that dyes, chemical treatments etc might make the shirt dry clean only, but is that a hard rule? Like could you machine wash these, and what is the risk?
Regardless of the brand on the label, the fabric and dyes used to make the garment, along with the fragility of its construction, determine how it’ll hold up to the washer machine/dryer. if you treat it gently, any cotton t-shirt will be fine to wash by hand (not machine, although it can be done) at home. The fabric care label is a suggestion which, if followed, usually gives the garment its best chance of longevity, but isn’t a hard rule. In fact, if your dry cleaner doesn’t do a good job, i’d argue that most colorfast fabrics are better washed by hand at home. even wool, silk, and other traditionally dry-clean-only fabrics can be washed with water and detergent if handled correctly (i.e. not cooking the filaments with heat or harsh solvents, low agitation, etc.). and what you do with a fabric as it is drying is crucial. there’s a lot of science on hygroscopic fabrics if you want to find it. however, the nature of how a garment is dyed/washed during manufacture is important because when water is used to clean a garment at home, keeping the dye in the fabric is often problematic
Would love to see of a comparison of “high end” blank companies like Rue Porter, House of Blanks etc
this!
