Our society in this day and age, we are all force fed on a daily basis really horrible mainstream culture. You can’t turn away from those horrific attorney bilboards, or eat food that isn’t made with high fructose corn syrup, or buy clothes that isn’t made in China. One common thing that all of those things noted above, that really pisses me off is none of those things have any type of quality. Quality takes a lot of time and selfless effort to provide a service or create an object; and the benefits of your hard work and time usually go unnoticed and is most often turned off by most people due to nature of most things of high quality, higher prices.
Most people are cheap and most would settle for a $1 meal when starving rather than starve for a whole day and eat a $7.00 meal.
Here at DEEPCOVER, we firmly believe and live by seeking the highest quality in life. Rather it is in music, film, art, or fashion, we strive to find the best. This post is dedicated to show all you consumers who like the fine things in life that our garments are all hand made, to our liking.
As you will see on our continuing behind the scenes series of DEEPCOVER, we would like to start you off on how we make our clothes from beginning to end. This first post is all about how we start off with making our shirts and tanks.
DEEPCOVER Summer 2010 in the Making:
1. We first start off our journey to to LA’s garment district. We meticulously hunt for the finest quality fabric of our liking in various colors. This Summer season, we feel it would be best to have white, black, and blue.
2. After bartering to get the highest quality fabric for the cheapest prices, we then head back home to Las Vegas and start the initial cut and sew process.
3. We start off by cutting patterns for small, medium, and large shirts and tanks all provided by our main cut and sew expert, Omar. He supplies us with the patterns for all the sizes for both the tanks and shirts. Once we have the patterns, we start tracing the fabric of our liking and start cutting each one by one.
4. Once all the fabric is cut for each shirt or tank design, Omar then would have to sew each pattern one by one to create the finished product; a tee or tank in this case.
5. Once we have everything set, it would be off to the screen printers.
Next blog post will demonstrate the process on how we screen-print our tees. Stay tuned…
