I can bet that there are people who are sensitive to certain fabrics and think it is essential that they are eco-friendly and NOT fast fashion. Perhaps provide more insights into that and share more about how other brands approach it, as well as how you do it differently?
I agree, I've been thinking about how I want to market this long-term for the past few days, at least for organic Instagram marketing.

I think the best strategy is to learn how to make cinematic, professional grade videos, but create it in a style that matches the hook storytelling structure needed for virality on short-form platforms.

Its gonna be very difficult, but I'm in it for the long-term, plus its a skill that'll be extremely useful to have.

how was the launch man?

I don't remember If I told you, my sister in law started a catholic tshirt company. She sold more than 1000 t-shirts already and did not even start the ecommerce. Only in person sales

It was good, moreso expected, I wasn't expecting to sell out or anyting, but I've made $500 so far from honestly, pretty shitty marketing.

It's also a pre-order, not the actual drop.

No idea how she did 1000 in person sales, I just hit her insta up, thanks for that.

First time actually hearing that "ding" on my phone when I get a sale at random times, its amazing, I can't imagine how million dollar brand owners feel.

I'm no expert on clothing brands. But I'll say this. Even if it appears dead with 0 sales, it's YOU who will B R E A T H E LIFE into it. Which translates into marketing and branding (and a lot of grit)

I agree, clothing brands are basically all marketing and branding, but I do want to provide real utility / value as well, since thats a deadly combo.

There's already a guy doing that: Apparel Success

I know like 10 guys off the top of my head who's doing that. I would never sell the dream of a clothing brand, I'd rather just make a big clothing brand, seems infinitely more fun.
