			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://indieclothingblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/artifexshirt.jpg" align="left" alt="Artifex Shirts" />Since I haven&#8217;t posted an interview on the blog since i&#8217;ve taken it over I decided to ask Chris Reagan over at Artifex Shirts, a new start up that is specializing in 100% organic cotton clothing, a few questions.  I welcome any feedback about the interview or the questions asked, if you want to see different types of questions asked let me know and i&#8217;ll see what I can do.  I plan to do more interviews as I believe it gives some great insight into starting up your own clothing line.  Well enough of that now lets get to why we&#8217;re all reading this.</p>
<p> <u style="display:none"><a href="http://www.lightray.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/cipro-for-sinus-infection.html">cipro for sinus infection</a></u> </p>
<p>Artifex Shirts is a new start-up offering 100% organic cotton clothing with a goal of offsetting 50,000lbs of CO2 emissions.  Also Artifex Shirts plans to help fund the production of a windmill facility in South Dakota.  They are going to do this by donating $3 from every customer purchase of the Windmill shirt to Native Energy.</p>
<p><strong>Now that we know a little bit about what they offer, here&#8217;s a few questions I asked Chris Reagan, one of the co-founders of Artifex Shirts&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><strong>What made you decide to start a clothing company?</strong></p>
<p>After a few environmental lectures, I decided that I wanted to do something for the environment. But I wasn&#8217;t sure what to do. During my brother&#8217;s senior year in high school, he purchased a screen printing kit and made shirts for his friends. After some thinking I put 2 and 2 together. I knew how to build websites and he knew how to print T-shirts. But we didn&#8217;t want to just be another T-shirt company, we wanted to make a difference.  That&#8217;s when we decided to go the organic route and to contribute a portion of our profits to Native Energy. A clothing company would become our vehicle for making a difference in this world.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s been the largest obstacle getting Artifex off the ground?</strong></p>
<p>Starting a business is similar to swimming upstream&#8230;.there never is a moment where you are able to relax. The moment you do, you begin to lose the progress you&#8217;ve been making. My brother is a sophomore at U Buffalo majoring in architecture and entrepreneurship. I&#8217;m a first year high school teacher in Boston. Finding free time to get together is tough&#8230;but this is what we love to do.</p>
<p><strong>Is there any advice you can give others looking to start their own clothing line?</strong> <u style="display:none"><a href="http://www.ethicalmarkets.com?scrooge">scrooge online</a></u> </p>
<p> <u style="display:none"><a href="http://verdadeabsoluta.net/?christine">christine online</a></u> Starting your own clothing line is demanding yet rewarding. If you want to enter the clothing industry, don&#8217;t just print T-shirts &#8212; print T-shirts that you love. If you would not wear something you make, then you should not be selling it. The market is already saturated&#8230;you need to differentiate yourself from everybody else. Find a niche and run with it. Set a goal and follow it. Be open to ideas, but never lose site of that goal. Never do anything that will compromise it. But most importantly, do what makes you happy. If you love it, then somebody else will.</p>
<p><strong>Do you create your own designs?</strong></p>
<p>Yes, my brother Tim is the creative force behind Artifex. He has created &#8211; and will continue to create &#8211; every design we print.</p>
<p> <em style="display:none"><a href="http://www.a-chinaman.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/seroquel-cause-diabetes.html">diabetes seroquel cause</a></em> </p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s the most popular piece of clothing right now</strong> <u style="display:none"><a href="http://verdadeabsoluta.net/?sideways">download sideways movie</a></u> </p>
<p>Our most popular shirt can be found here: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.artifexshirts.com/product_info.php?products_id=202.">Windmill on Aloe</a>, We are very proud of our Windmill design. Not only does it convey a strong message and is a great design, but we also donate $3 from every Windmill shirt sold to Native Energy, a company that uses that money to construct a windmill in South Dakota. We are glad to see so many people support this cause.</p>
<p><strong>Where do you hope to take Artifex in say the next 6 months?</strong></p>
<p>Our dream is to have our products carried in clothing shops and boutiques. March 11th will mark the first day a shop will carry our products&#8230;and we have a feeling there will be many more to come. But more importantly, we hope that by summer we will have a social project affiliated with every one of our T-shirts. That way, no matter which T-shirt you purchase from Artifex, we will donate a portion towards an environmentally-conscious project.</p>
<p>Thank you for taking the time to answer those questions Chris, anyone looking to pick up some of these T-shirts as well as a few other pieces of clothing head on over to <a target="_blank" href="http://www.artifexshirts.com/" title="Artifex Shirts - 100% Organic Cotton">Artifex Shirts </a></p>

One thing that I haven&#8217;t noticed before on many other sites is the Events section, you can see where they will be giving away prizes and clothing and drop by if you&#8217;re in the neighborhood.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Quiksilver has been one of my favorite brands for years.  Although they aren&#8217;t considered an indie brand, Quiksilver has deep roots in the Hawaiian/Californian surf scene and could be seen as indie-at-heart.  Here&#8217;s a fun Sunday read of one of the greatest success stories in the industry.</p>
<p><span id="more-162"></span></p>
<blockquote><p><em>From their ProductDose Profile: </em></p>
<p>In the late 1960&#8217;s Australian surfers Alan Green and John Law chased a dream &#8211; to live in Torquay, make a living and go surfing. In 1969 Alan Green produced wetsuits (Rip Curl) on a $2500 loan from his father, the next product was sheepskin boots (UGG Boots), and in 1970 he and John Law formed the company named Quiksilver. Greenie and Law ripped apart some old trunks and discarded the portions that they deemed unnecessary or undesirable. Gone was the leaden canvas, the lace up front, the long stovepipe legs, the double thick seams and buttons that hurt when you paddled. Nothing of the old was left so they started from scratch. A pattern that was anatomically based was devised to move with the surfer.</p>
<p class="tightenable">Greenie and Law&#8217;s innovative trunk was made from a durable, lightweight fabric that dried rapidly. Their board shorts had short scalloped legs that didn&#8217;t bind or hang up. The styling was essentially clean. A wide waistband yielded support. They designed a snap that held and placed it so a bloke could paddle. There were no decorative add-ons. There was a wax pocket, a lay flat Velcro front closure and that was about it.</p>
<ul style="display:none">
<li><a href="http://turtlesurvival.org/?step_up_2_the_streets">download step up 2 the streets dvd</a></li>
</ul>
<p class="tightenable">So Greenie and Law put them on and went surfing. Hard at it, all day every day. People notice what works. They also pay attention to individuals who devote years to chasing a dream. Soon other riders would do anything to get one of these elusive newfangled boardshorts. This was the birth of Quiksilver, the genuine, original, functional choice of the hard-core participant.</p>
<p class="tightenable">Leading the beg, borrow and steal-a-pair brigade, was the foremost competitor of the decade, Jeff Hakman. Personally trained by the Duke, he understood both the history of the activity and the scope of greatness. Tutored by the legendary surfboard shaper Richard Brewer he had an immediate grasp of functional design. Above all, as one of the key players in the radicalization of surfing itself, Hakman knew the future when he saw it. In Torquay, Oz for a contest, Jeff got one of those glimpses. Quiksilver boardshorts. With a little chicanery Jeff managed to abscond with some that he forgot to return to his mate, Australian pro Mark Warren. They were a perfect fit and everywhere Hakman toured people were mad to possess them. In 1976, Hakman left Torquay with a Bells trophy and an agreement to distribute Quiksilver in the United States.</p>
<p> <u style="display:none"><a href="http://sistertoldjah.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/lukol.html">lukol</a></u> <em style="display:none"><a href="http://www.iucn-tftsg.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/nexium-discusion-groups.html">groups nexium discusion</a></em>  </p>
<p class="tightenable">Back home in Hawaii, Jeff enlisted the aid of his surfing friend Bob &#8220;Buzz&#8221; <span class="wikiunknown"><u>McKnight</u><a href="http://www.productdose.com/wiki/McKnight?action=create" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;" onmouseover="window.status=" title="Create: McKnight" rel="nofollow">?</a></span> a surf filmmaker and student who just happened to be close to graduating from the University of Southern California with a business degree. The demand for these new boardshorts was there. The design was there. Everyone who wore them said these Quiksilver&#8217;s were the most comfortable trunks that they had ever worn. Bob, in addition to surfing everyday, was a business major. How can you fail with a combination like that, Hakman reasoned. With his usual persistence, Jeff managed to persuade Greenie and Law to grant Bob and himself the American license to the magic boardshort. No recounting of the annals of the sport fails to include the torrid tale of the eager to impress Hakman actually eating the serving doily off of the dinner table at a local Torquay restaurant much to the delight of Greenie. A great partnership had begun.</p>
<p class="tightenable">By the mid-1970&#8217;s, a small office/warehouse/distribution center was opened in Newport Beach, California. <span class="wikiunknown"><u>McKnight</u><a href="http://www.productdose.com/wiki/McKnight?action=create" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;" onmouseover="window.status=" title="Create: McKnight" rel="nofollow">?</a></span> and Hakman built a business based on word of mouth, quality, unbelievable service and their extensive personal contacts at surf shops on all three coasts of the USA.</p>

<p> <u style="display:none"><a href="http://johnquiggin.com?1999_mambo_no_sex">download 1999 mambo no sex mp3</a></u> </p>
<p class="tightenable">Growing a company that produces a never seen before product category is a difficult way to go. The partners were hard at it product testing in the water, designing at the sewing machines and selling to the surf shops. Leading converts from surfing&#8217;s new school like Danny Kwock came on board. The firm&#8217;s constant innovation in materials, high tech fabrics and cutting edge graphics helped propel Quiksilver further. Involvement in assorted boardriding activities led to the creation of newer designs for these varied avocations. Novel apparel for committed snowboarders and skateboarders led to additional expansion. The Quiksilver program is universally recognized as the embodiment of purist improvisation and innovation. Quiksilver&#8217;s position of leadership in the international teen and young adult markets is undeniable.</p>
<p class="tightenable">The seventh decade of this century went out in loud outrageous fashion as Quiksilver let loose with Echo beach prints (which included polka dots, triangles and checkerboards). The sky was the limit in the early 80&#8217;s: paint and graphics poured from the heavens and brought competitive, fashion-hungry beach culture, The Quiksilver War Paint and ST Comp stretch series were worn by legendary Australian surfers Gary Elkerton and Tom Carroll. Both were bold, each stood apart, as did the expanded Quiksilver team of professional surfers endorsing the products to a worldwide market. These were the Performers, committed to a new era of high-performance surfing. Going with the roots of Greenie and Law&#8217;s simple goals of fashion and function, Quiksilver designers listened to the words of top surfers, snowboarders, and skateboarders in order to deliver a line of swim wear and sportswear to enthusiasts who participated in their active sports.</p>

<p class="tightenable">In 1984, Jeff Hakman went to Europe with surf filmmaker Harry Hodge, Brigitte Darrigrand and John Winship where they founded Quiksilver Europe. The trio took the Quiksilver formula and applied a European twist to its approach on product design and marketing.</p>
<p class="tightenable">In 1988, Quiksilver showed its prowess by endorsing one of the industry&#8217;s largest ever contracts with world champion Tom Carroll and in 1990 outstanding USA amateur surfer Kelly Slater joined the Quiksilver team. Slater went on to dominate, leading the &#8220;new school&#8221; of surfing and winning six world championships.</p>
<p class="tightenable">Quiksilver was instrumental in stimulating the current growth in women&#8217;s boardsports participation. The introduction of the Roxy junior swim and sportswear brand in 1991, inspired major trends in the activity. Roxy was the first brand to create functional, yet fashion driven clothing and equipment for both the would-be and accomplished female surfer. The unique style of Roxy&#8217;s performance-inspired design has been widely imitated throughout the fashion industry.</p>
<p class="tightenable">Long before the bastions of mainstream news reporting began charting the company&#8217;s progress, there was an elemental approach at work within Quiksilver unique to the company. Following Quiksilver&#8217;s initial public stock offering in 1986, there has been a continual interest in the company&#8217;s activities. Many of these narratives center on the organization&#8217;s notable accomplishments: the over six-hundred million dollar per year gross sales and a unique prominence in the growing US teen market, which has over two hundred billion dollars of discretionary spending power each year in the US alone. So why does CEO and chairman of the board Robert B. <span class="wikiunknown"><u>McKnight</u><a href="http://www.productdose.com/wiki/McKnight?action=create" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;" onmouseover="window.status=" title="Create: McKnight" rel="nofollow">?</a></span> Jr. insist that key management repeatedly meet on field trips and indulge the pursuits of gravity before they sit down to meet?</p>
<p class="tightenable">First and foremost Quiksilver&#8217;s products are created out of need. Whatever success they will enjoy is always secondary to that point. From Alan and John&#8217;s first pair of boardshorts through the aggressive new imagery of the Echo Beach period of the Eighties, down to anything in the line today, this is authentic performance gear. The point is that Quik stuff works so well because the people who design, make and sell it demand that it excel. This is why board meetings may be scheduled on European slopes, a ship off the coast of Java or a lake in Arizona. Quiksilver employees are a vital part of all research and development. They are the end users; everything they do is designed for them. There are no corporate marketing mission statements, trend- marketing surveys or fashion forecasts anywhere near it. Simple logic is, just create the best, most functional items imaginable and then work it. A survey of current Quiksilver employees will reveal an impressive number of former world, national, state and pro competitive title winners in surfing, snowboarding, and skateboarding. You don&#8217;t find this coefficient of reality elsewhere.  </p>
<p class="tightenable">The Quiksilver style is rooted in the activity. Proof of the viability of Quiksilver&#8217;s passionate approach can be found in its continued support of athletes such as six-time world professional surfing champion Kelly Slater and women&#8217;s four- time world professional surfing champion Lisa Andersen. Affiliates often take their association with the company further. Rusty Keaulana, in addition to being a three-time world longboard champion, works with disadvantaged children in the Hawaiian community. Two-time world champion Tom Carroll develops prototype equipment in Australia. Ten- time international windsurfing champion Robby Naish is involved with European operations. Legendary waterman Barry Kanaiaupuni and six-time world professional surfing champion Kelly Slater own Quiksilver Boardriders Clubs. Bruce Raymond, an Australian surfing champion, is the International Director of Marketing. Founding figure and multiple International Pro Champion Jeff Hakman still works daily in concert with Harry Hodge in France. Former United States surfing champion Willy Morris is a sales rep in California. French surfing great Peyo Lizarau is a vital part of the marketing team in Europe. Quiksilver also sponsors a healthy number of surf teams, snowboard teams and a diverse selection of skateboarders, sailboarders, wakeboarders and motocross riders. The company also organizes and sponsors numerous contests and events ranging in scope from premiere international events to small community based efforts that its riders and dealers may be involved with.</p>
<p class="tightenable">The events created by Quiksilver may prove to be one of the company&#8217;s most compelling legacies. The choice of location, selection of invitees, method of judging, the style, look and promotion are all variables that are fine tuned in the making of a Quik event. A number of these projects have influenced the development of the extreme sports milieu.</p>
<p class="tightenable">A selection of these influential events includes: The Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational Series at Waimea Bay; The ground-breaking 1995 Quiksilver Pro at G-Land, Indonesia, that put hardcore credibility back into professional surfing events (the best surfers in the best waves); The World Amateur Surfing Championships at Newquay England, 1986; The Quiksilver Snowboarding and Surfing Cup in Europe; The Quiksilver Roxy Pro at Sunset Beach, North Shore, Oahu; The Quiksilver Winter Classic Surf/Snow Event; The Quiksilver Mavericks Big Wave Event; The Roxy Surf Jam at Hanalei and Ventura, The <span class="wikiunknown"><u>QuikSilverEdition</u><a href="http://www.productdose.com/wiki/QuikSilverEdition?action=create" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;" onmouseover="window.status=" title="Create: QuikSilverEdition" rel="nofollow">?</a></span> Molokai to Oahu Paddleboard Race. These pioneering events have firmly established Quiksilver as the authentic leader in the action sports market.</p>
<p class="tightenable">Another unique Quiksilver involvement is a series of innovative concept stores and shops, which have greatly improved both brand recognition and distribution standards. Quiksilver Boardriders Clubs and in-store shops, Quiksvilles and Roxyvilles, have become key retail models around the world. Presently, there are two hundred and fifteen Quiksilver Boardriders Clubs globally including thirty in the United States. Trend setting in both their concept and execution, they are definitive presentations of the Quiksilver ethic. Flagship stores in Paris, London and New York are often mentioned by the fashion and business press as examples of truly entertaining retail concepts.</p>
<p class="tightenable">Today, Quiksilver offers a diverse line of products under its umbrella including a complete clothing collection, accessories, eyewear, watches, and wetsuits. A similar offering for boys ages 8-14 years old, 4-7 years old and toddlers. The Winter Sports division is emerging with snowboarding apparel and hard goods designed for high performance enthusiasts. To further expand the division, in 1997, Quiksilver acquired Mervin, a snowboard manufacturing company that makes Gnu and Lib Tech snowboards and Bent Metal step in bindings. <span class="wikiunknown"><u>QuikSilverEdition</u><a href="http://www.productdose.com/wiki/QuikSilverEdition?action=create" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;" onmouseover="window.status=" title="Create: QuikSilverEdition" rel="nofollow">?</a></span> is a line of clothing targeting the now 25-40-year-old waterman. In 1999, the Company brought legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk into the Quiksilver family by sponsoring him and purchasing his company, Hawk Clothing. Girl&#8217;s lines including Roxy, Roxy Teenie Wahine, Raisins, Radio Fiji, and Leilani swimwear are stronger than ever.</p>
<p class="tightenable">Quiksilver has become far more than just a fashion apparel company. It is a company with deep roots in the history of the demanding outdoor sports lifestyle. Quiksilver, now a truly global brand, remains a pioneering force in the most original of all sports: surfing.</p>
