Discreetly greek updates

Discreetly greek Blog promos, originally uploaded by Integral Apparel.

Whoa, long blog no post! Whatever that means!
Discreetly Greek is in full swing! I want to first let everyone know that the tees ready to roll, and we are having a great release for the Fall Line S.C.W.O.N.T.S.T.O.P.

It is a blast seeing the reactions of bruhs, greeks and customers of the site. The response to REAL fashionable clothing for greeks is amazing. I have worked hard on this line, and plan to make it even better in the future.

A quick updates and changes:

We will soon move away from DTG and print on demand to screen printing shorty. Once the orders are more consistent, I will know which sizes to stock and that will help with overhead.

Hang tags, and inside care tags should be ready for the Spring 2010 release. I haven’t finalized what will be in the care tag(wash instructions) but I know that is needed to really brand Discreetly Greek and separate it from other greek apparel companies.

Here is a snapshot of the current tags that are printed!

And hopefully in 2010, I will attend my first convention as a vendor. I have been saying it for years, but its about time to put my money (literally) where my mouth is. Once bruhs and other greek see Discreetly Greek in public and can touch and feel the product, the infection will begin!

Thanks for all the support and hope I strained your eyes enough to read this!

Zombie Decayor!

Springleap D.I.Y. Zombie Decayor Color choices, originally uploaded by Integral Apparel.

EEK! Long time no post!

This is a new design I plan on subbing to Springleap.com

They are having a zombies and undead contest so I thought this would be a good fit. The design is called Zombie Decayor like, decor, but with decay! Gosh I am sure I didn’t have to spell that out, but you never know.

The contest will run in November, so I will keep you updated so you can vote suckas!

Here are some alternate colorways, if your bored you can let me know which you think is better. I am partial to the grey, only because it’s more sellable, but I always love some bright funky 80’s skater colors!

Album artwork meme

Album artwork meme, originally uploaded by Integral Apparel.

I know this is an old one, but still a goodie.
This internet meme is not only fun, but a good portfolio filler and practice, you can never learn too much when it comes to design and artwork, I always learn something new or a new tool, so thats why this meme is great!

Basically by following a set of strict rules at the site below or the list I have here, and make your own album cover, its funny how not only do they sometimes make sense, people actually now are doing these for real albums and getting commissioned for it!

How to create your album cover:

Your band name is the title of your first hit on Wikipedia’s random page

Your album name is taken from the end of the last quote on this random quotes page

Your album cover must be made from the fourth picture on Flickr’s interesting photos page

Discreetly Greek :: Alpha Kappa Alpha

Discreetly Greek :: Alpha Kappa Alpha ::Tag it up, originally uploaded by Integral Apparel.

Our new design at Discreetly Greek for the lovely ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. I try real hard to do designs for the frats and sororities that step outside the box. This design came from a long night at the computer trying capture what it’s like to be a neo. After a long process your finally able to wear some pari, and sometimes you might over do it. Letters on your shirt, socks, hat, lavalier and a landyard! This design is for the neo in all of us!

This will be released with our Fall 2009 line.

Check out our current Discreetly Greek line and upcoming tees and soon…Posters!

Detention win!

Discreetly Greek

Discreetly Greek has been flying off the shelves! Ok well not literally, flying with wings and all that but you get the picture!
Let’s update you on all the workings of what is in the future for our  great clothing line for Black Greeks.

• We plan to release new shirts and colorways every spring and fall, just like a line would crossing the burning sands every semester!
• New shirts coming for Kappas, Deltas, AKA’s, and Ques.
• New custom mailers, hang tangs, inside care tags!

Those are just a few of the small updates that we will be installing within the next few months to really brand Discreetly Greek as a powerhouse in the Black Greek t-shirt, apparel industry.
We saw our competitors shirts and designs and we saw that we needed to capitalize on that market. All greeks love wearing pari and nalia, but the problem is that sometimes the designs can only be worn at a fraternity/sorority event.  Sometimes it’s good to be subtle with your love for your org, it doesn’t always have to scream ALPHA PHI ALPHA or even have the letters at all.

That’s how discreetly greek was spawned! We all have been in a place where we wanted to show that we are greek without having to wear our pledge boots and crossing jacket! These picnics get hot sometimes! Next thing you know the forhead is shiny and all is lost!

Now you can go to the club, that greek picnic, hell even christmas dinner and still look fashionable in your pari.
Right now we are currently only selling Alpha Phi Alpha t-shirts, but we are bringing in some new tees at the next release!

Thanks for all the support from phrat and greek around the nation. You guys are the ones that make it happen! It’s fun waking up to 10 orders to pack up and ship away.

Discreetly Greek::KAPSI Crimson and Creme

Discreetly Greek::Kappa Alpha Psi, originally uploaded by Integral Apparel.

This is our next follow up to the other orgs in the Divine 9 for Discreetly Greek.

This design is perfect for Nupes to be able to rep Kappa Alpha Psi t-shirts without always having to wear letters.

The design is distressed just like our SPHINXMAN shirt for the members of Alpha Phi Alpha.

We strive to provide pari, and nalia for any neo or prophyte that is fashionable.

Thanks for all support and look for additions to the new line coming in fall. We will drop new tees like a new pledge line coming out! Look for our probate soon!

DBH SUB:: A king is Born

DBH SUB:: A king is Born, originally uploaded by Integral Apparel.

Here is my new submission for Design By Humans. I haven’t subbed anything to any contests for awhile, been so busy doing the all the shipping and orders for Discreetly Greek and Malicious Intent.

This design I have had for awhile, mainly vectors and some watercolor splashes, but I think its a nice design on a tee. Makes a real statement.

I have a version on a guys tee, but I wanted to see how it looked on a womans tee, change it up a little bit.

Go show some support at DBH, I will update it when the link is available for voting

16 Bitz It’s Alive!

I literally woke up and saw this design in my email!

An amazing artist, TokyoGoGo, sent me this for the Malicious Intent line. Heavily inspired by the 90’s with this Super Nintegral design!

I was very excited to see this and can’t wait to print these!
Look for these for the fall release of some new shirts!

Check out some of Tokyo’s other awesome work!
