England Belongs Clothing Update

[England Belongs Clothing]

Firstly Thankyou to Everyone who has bought from us already really appreciated. I apologise for not being on here for a while but been amazingly busy.

So Just on here to let everyone whats going on with the company.
Firstly we have got our t-shirts in to a couple more stores the bulldog empire in prague and a new shop in San Diego.

We been in that medium stage of the business where we are selling steadily but wanting to expand our range. We both been doing this and working our fulltime jobs at the same time. With the time that is needed to promote ourselves, design new stuff and source materials ect, i have taken the risk and quit my job.
What this will mean for everyone is we will get your stuff to you even faster, new designs will come out quicker [money allowing ofcourse]
What it means to us apart from the chance to promote ourselves more its probably gonna mean collecting tin cans each month to pay the rent.

In 10 days we will have some cool sets of button pins Skinhead, Skinhead reggae, ska,2tone, lambretta, vespa, mod and northern soul sets will all be available. We decided we need some small items on our site. This is ofcourse not to take away from our real aim of expanding our clothing range.

Our polo shirts are designed, we have the material and we have the collars and cuffs made up.We are just raising the cash to have them cut and sewn up. We hoped to have a range of English Style slim Braces out by now, but everyone who we have sourced out for the material has not had the real quality we want, so we are carrying on with the search for the best quality.

The launch of the polos will start a significant shift for us, although we will still do more t-shirt designs we are looking to start producing a range of quality button down shirts.

We are also offering a permanant $2 discount on all orders over $12.
when ordering just type in "myspace" in the coupon section.
Thanks again everyone for their support.

The Polo shirts are our priority now and we will be sure to let everyone know when we have the first samples made up.
Once they are made we will be wearing them for a couple of weeks.
we bought great material and had the cuff and collars made and will be using good cutters and machinists here in LA to get them made up but we still want to wear them for a couple of weeks just to make sure they stand up to everyday wear and tear

Good luck!!

Its a huge step for us we are just a normal married couple, so bills still have to be paid ect.We were getting invited to sell at loads of events and because my work included weekends we had to turn most of them down which was totally frustrating.
Though we know its going to be hard i have complete faith in my wifes ability as a graphic artist and designer and i am not to bad at promoting.
If it does not work out well we tried and given it our best crack.
thanks everyone for the good luck wishes

so your stuff is actualy made or at least put together in America.

that definatly gets my attention

We are trying to use only American suppliers.
The materail for the polos is US made and everything will be put together over here.Thats actaully harder than it seems the companies don't like to deal with smaller companies and the ones that do you really have to source out. Its always a little dissapointing for me coming from England that names Like Ben Sherman, Fred Perry, are produced elsewhere. Not that i begrudge these other Countries making money fair play but you think of the brands as English.
If for any strange reason we just cant get somtthing here we will try to get it in the Uk.
We don't want to go down the route of sending our stuff out of the country to be made.

still wondering why you're called england belongs and none of your shit has american stuff on it.

If you had read my reply to the last time you questioned this, you should have seen the link to the intro post of Mr England Belongs Clothing in which he explains that he is originally from England.

Once they are made we will be wearing them for a couple of weeks.

Yugh! Clothing with your sweat in it!

;) :p

We obviously are a USA based company. I am originally from England and my wife is from California.
We wanted a name people would be able to recognize and also to give a nod back to England.
The Name was pretty much decided on when a group of us drunkenly sang the song at our wedding reception. A high percentage of our sales go back to England.
I think the more important thing than the company name though is that we want to try and keep our suppliers and production in the usa.
Although one of our shirts does have a small British we don't tend to use any flags on our shirts

Oh. Why does a lot of your money go back to England?

You should advertise Made in the USA if it is. Some folks dont buy outsourced stuff.

None of the money goes back to the uk just a lot of our orders come from there.We as i say use USA suppliers and when we have stuff like the polos we are working on the material is bought in the USA and they will be made up here. Even then using suppliers over here can be difficult as what they don't tell you is they have outsourced their items

i agree, im definatly more likely to buy one of your polos since its made in USA.

are they gonna be straight up solid colors? or are they going to be printed/ have patterns.

You guys shold make Harringtons... Polos are a dime a dozen but a good harrington would really do well

Probably not worth it, I can see them being very expensive to make.

You could just buy a bulk of certain colors from another company and then sew in a different lining like say a green plaid or a camo lining and make it your own. I would buy something like that... a nice black Harrington with a camo lining.

if it was reversible that would be legit id get one of those.

if it just had camo lining eh i think that would be kinda dumb.

but reversible would be legit

They do everything themselves. I highly doubt this would be something they'd do.
