MGTOW Clothing Line?

[Biggvs_DickvsParticipant 3725]

Hi guys,

I recently got so fed up with the lack of choice men are given in clothing I decided to screw it all and start making my own clothes.

I got tired of every time I found a shirt made from even *slightly* above average material and well fitted it was like $200 or $300.  Same for pants. I started making my own out of fabric I found interesting and eye catching and it really does make a difference, for example when I go out to meet women. They assume I’m wearing an exotic designer from Italy or somewhere since they’ve never seen anything quite like it. That in turn helps give me that little edge to “stand out from the pack” so to speak that they respond to. I even landed an IT gig at an advertising company party because they found my clothes so interesting.

I’m really tired of women and gay guys from the fashion world dictating what I should wear as if they’re connected to some higher consciousness that we should prostrate ourselves before.  Nothing against gays mind you, I just don’t think they have the goals of a hetero male in mind when they’re deciding what looks good. Same for women designers.

The responses I’ve gotten from my “clothing line” thus far have been so spontaneously positive that I’ve decided to make it into a business.

My main demographic would be MGTOWs and specifically the IT/STEM/Geek crowd.  Could you guys give me some thoughts on what kinds of clothes that for you would help project confidence and poise? Also, what would you be willing to pay for a shirt or pair of pants if it just looked really awesome and unique?

PS: I’ll post some pics when I’m able so you can see what I’m talking about.

This is MGTOW to me (by my definition), as far clothes go:

I am not going to follow my own trends and do damn well what I want as far as clothes go.  If I can do it cheap that is a bonus.

Lol my designs aren’t quite THAT far out. You could wear them to the office for example, but you’re guaranteed to get asked where you got them.

Can I assume that’s a typo up there and that you ARE going to follow your own trends?

I’m torn as far as the cost goes.  From a business perspective it makes sense to try and get the “Geffen good” thing going where demand increases as the price does as well. The “status symbol” effect.  The idea is for MGTOWs and STEM types to be able to project success. On the other hand, I don’t want to be in in the same boat with the “high fashion anointed” crowd where paying a fortune for a piece of clothing makes it all the more “fashionable.”  I just don’t want to do that to my fellow MGTOWS and STEMS.

Would $80 – $100 for a REALLY cool shirt and $100 – $150 for really cool pants be out of the ballpark?

If anything I think a line of clothing incorporating the MGTOW symbol and MGTOW philosophies would do very well and people would enjoy it. There is a large and growing market there that is not being met by someone who is MGTOW. They are just cheap overpriced shirts by people who don’t know where we are coming from.

Thanks D,

Do you know if the symbol is public domain or if not who owns the copyright?  Also, I’d be curious to read more detail about incorporating the philosophy into the clothing – any ideas on how to do that?

My approach to that is to make clothes that help with the “peac~~~ing” effect so important to the pickup process.  Not to the point depicted in the above video, but enough that people notice that it’s clearly not something you bought at the mall or wal-fart.

The MGTOW symbol ,far as I know it’s owned or should I say created by two founders, however people are free to use it. I’ll give you examples.

I believe getting clarity into the different schools of thoughts regarding what MGTOW is, would help to get a viable business.  Idea is to have things that would resonate with MGTOW out there.  Whatever is done, needs to be a way of personal expression for a MGTOW.

MGTOW is as varied as society. I think you should design clothes as you so desire and sell to the people that like your design style. You will never be able to satisfy all the different men of MGTOW, and trying to may lead to total failure. So find your niche within MGTOW and good luck.

Yes, that was a typo.  I am not going to follow trends.  At this point, I don’t wear clothes for status.  I wear clothes to survive, so I don’t care.  I have a few Vegas suits I picked up years ago I use on interviews.

Regarding clothes for MGTOW, you do need to get a pulse on things.  I think also, as I believe wrote above, that I think there is a need to get a pulse on what MGTOW is, before clothing become a symbol for what it is.  As of now, it is way early.

Putting the symbol out there is the opposite of ‘stealthy’. It’s wise to be stealthy, but to each his own.

You could create your own clever type of designs that resonate with red pill/mgtow philosophy and lifestyles; and there is certainly an audience/market if you have good s~~~.

BUT, putting the roadside logo on anything is LIKE FIGHT CLUB MEMBERS WEARING ‘FIGHT CLUB’ ON THEIR T SHIRTS.

 

[BlackEagleParticipant 54]

yea i vote a no no for the logo on clothes! i been contemplating about a tattoo i wanna get … just maybe a mgtow symbol to incorporate it!

Seems a little too much Silence of the Lambs/Mad Max for my tastes.

Thanks a ton for the feedback Richard & everyone. Really  – that’s super helpful. To clarify a bit, my goal is not to make a line that symbolizes or promotes the mgtow philosophy directly – I think the racecar sweatshirt etc has that covered although I must admit I like the idea of a “kiss-my-ass” window above the back pocket 😉

I’m more interested in helping my fellow MGHOW to break away from the female and mangina dominated fashion industry that has basically left us all dressing like unemployed gay lumberjacks or khaki-clad cubicle serfs. Outfits that can be worn to work, but will definitely not be mistaken for the flavorless s~~~ sold by the likes of eddie bauer,  abercrappy, gap, etc.

I’m working with sueded microfiber for example.  It has a very luxurious look and feel and can be bought in varieties light enough for shirts and heavy enough for pants.  I’ve used a fairly standard jeans/trouser pattern to make pants that I wear to work in an office. Totally appropriate to wear there, but when anyone looks a little closer it’s obvious they’re not anything that can be bought in a store (at least not yet).

In my mind, MGTOWs are to be admired for their courage be someone other than what much/most of society would have them be. I simply want to offer clothes that allow you to look a way other than what the fash-holes would dress you.

I buy at certain local shop, don’t care about the expensive brands, more about how comfortable they are, good cheap prices, and how well I think I look in them.

Mostly just jeans, shirts, and jackets, I’m not much of a T-shirt guy. And I do prefer wearing comfortable sneakers over fancy shoes.

As long it looks good to you, and is very comfortable to wear, it’s a win.

 

About having symbols, probably would be hilarious, but I like hiding in plain sight, although something like a watch or a tie having a very simple frame with the mgtow road sign, would be neat.

[hidden_withinParticipant 59]

I kinda like the idea of a button down dress shirt with a Mgtow embroidered logo. Kinda like the Ralph Lauren polo horse logo.

Oops. Guess I resurrected this thread from the dead

[Biggvs_DickvsParticipant 3725]

What if the logo was “stealthily” embroidered in the same color thread as the fabric? That way it’s not “in your face” obvious, but your average MGTOW will appreciate it.

Assuming that’s a standard t-shirt and pants, those prices are way out there, assuming us dollars.

Brand name shirts are like $20, no ways you can charge 5 to 7x more than that…..

[narwhalParticipant]

Are you still considering this?

I personally wouldn’t go for that kind of prices. The most I would go for a good shirt would be around $50, but it has to be very comfortable, fit me well, and be very durable. I want to look good, but not necessarily come off as a peac~~~ or project success.

I see pants as pretty much utility. I don’t want to make a statement with my pants.

Ok. Then do it.
