In the mean time watch the newest episode from a top notch new web series called Put This On!

From what I saw I liked it very much, not from a standard television show aspect but from being involved in the creative and apparel industries. It seems like the show will have lots of references and storylines based around fashion and street culture which makes for great television as far as I’m concerned…as long as things stay on track from what I saw from this first episode I look forward to seeing much more of “How To Make It In America”.

Being that I own and operate a screen printing shop I love seeing this stuff. Its awesome to see these guys have passion for what they do and stick to their roots using letterpress the same way it was used when the technique was created.

I have personally never heard of this brand but its a brother duo who together are producing what looks like very nice hand made leather goods. I always love getting to see behind the scenes of great companies like this and I figured you might too!

I recently came across it a second time and decided to share here. The cinematography is great and it is awesome to see behind the scenes in a cut-n-sew factory of this prestige. Martin Greenfield is one of the best of the best and you can see it in this short documentary.


Directed by Galen Summer. Cinematography by Ed David. Summertime Productions.

Here we will be posting updates on our brand as well as other things we find interesting within the industry. Be sure to check the blog often because we will also be running some contests, showing sneak peaks and other things leading up to our release in Spring 2010.

Ok so what is World Class Rivals? WCR is a brand that I have been wanting to do for a long time now. I have had the concept and ideas for a couple years but never had the time to put into it. I run a screen printing shop as well as a full service marketing and brand development firm and we do a lot of work within the apparel industry. Im going to be taking the knowledge I have picked up over the years with my business to build a clothing brand of my own. Im very excited about this project and you can expect big things!
