Lowdtown Friends & Freaks (1)
Published on January 20th, 2009. By The Taddict, under T-Shirt Lines.
I received an email yesterday from Ray Masaki talking about the official launch of his new clothing line Lowdtown Friends & Freaks. I checked out the site and thought the designs were pretty cool and I really liked the attention to detail on the shirts. The custom tag is screen printed in the shirt, there is an embroidered label on the bottom of the shirts and the prints are fairly technical. By technical, I am referring to the oversized printing and the use of soft inks. The site grades out pretty well in keeping with the overall theme of the shirts and Lowdtown could get some traction.
The only problem I have is the presale option. Are the shirts currently being printed and just not ready? Or worse, are they being presold to fund the printing and check interest? Ray, feel free to weigh in on this in the comments section. If they are currently being printed, when will they be available?
**UPDATE**
Ray responded in the comments stating that the presale is for a limited run of the sewn-on labels at the bottom of the shirts. No pre-purchase, no label.

Thanks for sharing my website! Yes, the shirts are currently going into production. The reason I have presale going on right now is to give people the chance to receive the limited edition embroidered tag with their shirt. Only shirts that are ordered during presale and the first run of each design are going to have the limited edition embroidered tag. The shirts will ship out in about a month. Hope that clarifies a bit. Thanks again!
