Hey Everyone,

I'm working on a Newschoolers hoodie design made in collab with Voleurz...and I wanted to give you guys a sneak peak and at the same time get some feedback!

Let me know what you like and dislike about them.

The gray and black ones are sick. I really like the pockets it's something different from every other hoodie out there. I am not a big fan of the other color ways but thats just me. I am really glade you made this a zip up hoodie instead of a pull over. I can't wait for these to come out.

I like the black a lot and would like the purple if the one sleeve was not a different shade. The buttons are a nice addition.

No, I was stating the obvious.

As in, I dont own any Voleurz...and probably wont own one of these. Can we get a basic all brown with a yellow or blue logo? We dont need to go all ski hipster here. Know what I am saying?

That said, I am sure you will sell alot of them to the under 18 crowd.

What do you consider way too expensive? What price would people be willing to pay for a super quality hoodie?

I'm a really big fan of the Voleurz stuff... I've been wearing my Voleurz/IF3 hoodie constantly for the last few months.

The color ways are good they way they are, for the demographic. I was just saying I prefer something a bit more subdued, with pop in all the right places, rather than all over.

I feel like the buttons just add to the higher quality of the hoodie.

if i remember correctly, their hoodies last year ran somewhere in the neighborhood of $80-$90? i would consider that way too expensive. that's usually near my price range for a jacket, not a thick piece of cloth.

i'd pay no more than $50.

but this is also coming from a broke college kid who pays for everything himself. i'm sure you'll have the youngins begging their parents for one of these.

Could you guys possibly make an all black by taking off the grey sleeve. way too much going on with that sleeve and it would be dope if it were just black. saying that however, this will most likely be out of my price range.

i would have to say $60 tops what most people here would pay for anything more is a bit unreasonable for a sweatshirt...also im not a big fan at all of the button up look id prefer a more classic styling zip up

For a Jiberish quality hoodie I would be willing to pay around 70-90 depending on how much I liked the look of it.

Put the stripe on the back from the button downed one and put it on the back of the big NS logo one, and its as good as purchased

I'im in the exact same boat. Yes it is quality material but I'd say a fair majority of nsers are broke college students who cant afford $80 plus for a hoodie. I have always liked voleurz but its pretty well known that their stuff is not cheap by any means.

those look sick, as long as they fit tall and aren't skin tight I'm cool with them. but I really won't go higher than 50 or so for a hoodie.

I dont like the button up at all the zip ups are dope. As far as price id pay 60-70 bucks. Not really a huge fan of voulerz seems like every thing ive seen from them is slim fit out the ass. Maybe something a little less tight with some extra length added would be dope.

Don't like them..no offense. I like the design but the colors are blah. I would never buy a purple or yellow hoodie and the black is too blah, as I said. If you change up the colors id drop 80 bucks on an NS hoodie.

Don't take me to seriously because I have never research making hoodies, but personally if you can get kids hoodies they can rep for $50-$60 I think that is respectable and personally its hard to believe that making a single hoodie would cost more than $20. Yes quality is important, but i think a more important factor is getting as many people as possible to represent newschoolers. Its very hard for anyone to justify paying more than $80 for a hoodie unless they have support such as family putting towards the cause. Plain and simple.

I'm nearly 30 and i'm getting one!

Black / Grey is sick...   would like to see some other colours though...  White / Red, Black / Blue, Grey with White Letters...   

etc etc etc....  some intermediate colour schemes basically... not black / grey then straight to balls out Bright yellow (although, i'll prob by one of those too! :-) )

yea im leaning towards this i think that if you sold them for like 60 dollars there would be a lot of kids that would buy them, and i mean unless the quality of the hoodies are amazing and they look sick i dont think that many people would want to pay upwards of 70 dollars.

I like the two tone look. I'd buy it if it had some nice low profile colors, not into buying bright neon shit. As for price I'd say 60 max.

i really like the button up. adds a little class to the hoodie, so you dont look like a total thug 16 year old. as with the button pockets on it. the 2 on the right are my favorite, but yellow can get dirty easy and also be an annoying color. id recommend a different color-way than yellow/black, but it could also look really sick. hah who knows!

who thinks maybe the bottom left 1 would be dope if you kept the white ns logo and replaced the rest with some sort of red color scheme?

And, also it would be awesome if these could retail $40.  I know they will probably end up at $50 or $60 but $40 sounds reasonable for someone not looking to invest a whole lot.

all look pretty sick. but for price i'd agree anything over sixty unless its amazing quality is pushing it. 50 or 55 would be sweet.

Dude I'm afraid a $50 hoodie is going to be a total piece of shit. We made cheap hoodies and people liked them, but complained that we didn't have nicer stuff.

Voleurz stuff is more like $100 - because its quality. Look at Jibberish - same thing.

When we launch price point stuff people complain its cheap logo gear. When we launch nice stuff they complain its too expensive.

Our goal is to have two lines - one of cheap logo gear, and another of really quality stuff. This isn't going to be an ultra cheap piece, and its going to cost some money. We'll keep the costs limited, but face it - you get what you pay for.

Take votes -

1) Which out of the 4 is your favorite?
2) Buttons or zip?

Then

3) if you could change something about your favorite what would it be?
