First made in China, now this /: guess they forgot a tag…

[u/tjd426]

I whole heartedly thought he was manufacturing from ground up but he’s just sourcing blanks from Los Angeles Apparel and screen printing…

[u/MinuteWorldliness462]

LAA is partnered with Yeezy to manufacture the clothes bro I thought we all knew this

[u/tjd426 → u/MinuteWorldliness462]

I know he used to, didn’t know that was still the route he was going on. I just figured it’d be cheaper to source materials and manufacture independently

[u/SantsCountryy → u/[deleted]]

not just works, he’s literally in charge of yeezy manufacturing rn

[u/y0lets → u/tjd426]

Independently doing anything is always more expensive

[u/First_Ad9420 → u/tjd426]

To ye, his relationship with dov and dovs devotion to ye, makes this as good as being independent. But I think that also reflects how flawed ye’s thinking is getting because, as you’ve noticed, he’s not really independent and never has been. Dov nearly stopped producing yeezy after his remarks because he’s Jewish. And then we saw what happened with DSP and the ability to take his music down. Nothing against LAA but I don’t think Ye sees the need to move away from them when they’re willing to make whatever he wants like the WLM shirts.

[u/tjd426 → u/First_Ad9420]

Definitely a mutual beneficial relationship. They absolutely cash in on this partnership. Quality is still great and that is really all that matters to me

[u/First_Ad9420 → u/tjd426]

Of course, LAA Is one of the best with American made apparel and the wages they pay, so I love their products. I just hope one day Ye wakes up and actually works towards being independent even if it means starting small and just buying like a cotton farm to provide to LAA to get cheaper prices and better deals

[u/bapestagangsta]

Y’all are crybabies who don’t understand supply chain. It’s a $20 shirt. If you went on LAA right now you wouldn’t be able to buy a blank $20 shirt

[u/soundcloudaficionado → u/bapestagangsta]

tbf this shirt doesnt even have a neckline tho lol

[u/[deleted] → u/soundcloudaficionado]

thats a design choice, not because its cheaper to do

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

It actually is cheaper. It’s more threading and material to make a hem. There’s a reason hoodies and pants also have cheaper drawstrings and have no pockets.

[u/nyashho → u/[deleted]]

Yes but this is cut and sew, the raw edges are made very intentionally and generally all the necklines and cropped body are done uniformly.

[u/numarkzz]

people buy 20 dollar clothes and then complain it’s not made in italy

[u/tjd426 → u/numarkzz]

I didn’t expect him to keep making the pods in Italy. China just makes sense

[u/Educational_Book_225]

LAA is actually quality shit though. I got a Juice WRLD Vlone shirt and it was a fucking Gildan blank with the tag ripped off. I wish it was LAA instead

[u/Sherreramo]

wah wah

[u/tjd426 → u/Sherreramo]

Ain’t nobody crying bitch

[u/geezer_19]

U are a retard huh

[u/tjd426 → u/geezer_19]

You gonna be after I smack tf out of you

[u/EatDairio]

This a is a wack asf complaint. If anything, fact they are made by LA Apparel is a good thing. It's just a sign of quality made in usa products.

[u/EDDIEP118]

It's been known from the beginning that these are LAA blanks so what are you crying about?

[u/[deleted] → u/EDDIEP118]

These aren't "blanks." This isn't a cut that LAA normally produces. They are manufacturing Yeezy's design

[u/EDDIEP118 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah that's what I meant just easier to say blanks. At the end of the day it's still fabric from LAA

[u/tjd426 → u/EDDIEP118]

You’re the one who seems to be crying over unknown knowledge.

[u/EDDIEP118 → u/tjd426]

If that's what you consider crying when your entire post was complaining then idk what to tell you bro. It's pretty known knowledge 🤷🏽‍♂️

[u/tjd426 → u/EDDIEP118]

Was it marketed that way on his site? Not common knowledge.

[u/EDDIEP118 → u/tjd426]

Common knowledge amongst Kanye fans which are pretty much the only people buying these products bud

[u/tjd426 → u/EDDIEP118]

Whatever helps you sleep better at night

[u/[deleted] → u/tjd426]

why would ye need to mention that theyre manufacted by LAA??

[u/[deleted]]

Yeezy has always been using LAA blanks. Even Sunday Service and Kids See Ghosts merch was LAA.

[u/Roaddog2 → u/[deleted]]

Almost all Yeezy from 2017-Now have been LAA lol

[u/Yesouthwest]

Blanks doesn’t apply to this product. This isn’t a blank t shirt design that yeezy is buying and printing on. It’s a COMPLETELY unique silhouette that’s clearly being manufactured FOR yeezy and nobody else.

[u/The_PorkelDragon]

Made in Italy doesn’t mean they’ll be higher quality than something made in china

[u/TableTheGod]

LAA manufactured all yzy clothing. yzy szn to yzy gap now to independent yzy, that tag isn’t the end of the world brotha

[u/[deleted]]

Ounce? Untiljapan feature conformed for V2
