ya crooks is tight. not my style at all but they deffently put out good stuff.
jimmyheartcore said about 1 year ago
I personally am not so fond of “heartcore” anymore. I’m glad to see somebody still likes it! Haha
I like Artful Dodger as well.
There is a Hip Hop brand called “Anonymous”. I think that one’s cool too.
And I like Little Red Thread!

I laugh every time I see your name becuase I work for a high school sports fundraising company who designs posters called Media Allstars or MAS for short.

a buddy of mine has a combany called Build Strong. i like the way they use that name … not really a name I’d go with, but they’ve done well with it.
derekdeal said about 1 year ago

scapyyy said about 1 year ago

p.s jimmy ill be picking some of your new stuff up soon, it looks rad.
MadeByMAS said about 1 year ago
I am carrying a brand in the store I am helping set up for the made by mas company and they go by Loud & Obnoxious. I like it…
scapyyy said about 1 year ago
ive seen some of there stuff, its pretty tight. they do some cool stuff.
dead said about 1 year ago
Not to be an ass or anything, but have you ever thought about whats going to happen when this whole emo/scene fad is over? Are people going to still want to wear a shirt with heartcore on it?
Jon Kruse said about 1 year ago
Let me live in my fantasy land. Can’t I listen to Taking Back Sunday, and Fall Out Boy for the rest of my life!
Is a world without Fall Out Boy a world anyone wants to live in?

Versace is way better than any “street culture” brand
jared said about 1 year ago
there’s a skate company (maybe from the UK) called GREED. i thought that was cool.
jimmyheartcore said about 1 year ago
Not to be an ass or anything—did you even read what I said? Or what I’ve been saying in other threads?
No, I don’t think they will want to wear a shirt that says “Heartcore”. In fact, that’s why 90% of the designs I do now don’t say it anywhere but the tag.
That’s also why I’m starting a new line, with a much less genre specific name.
Do ya research, eh?!
Time Without the E said about 1 year ago
Yeah i am doing the same thing
i kinda dont liek having a long name
but it sucks starting all over again
what does everyone think about the name Palmpine?
itll be a mix between snowboarding and surfing line
i have it trademarked pending so dont get any ideas :p
sockmonkee said about 1 year ago
haha yeah. you do.
jimmyheartcore said about 1 year ago
Little Red Thread – I am getting a lot more artists involved in it than I do with Heartcore.
JohnnyNoSlacks said about 1 year ago
i think the core name is pretty much played out, there are quite a few clothing co/bands out there with core in them Core Clothing, Heartcore, Starcore etc, also when people have x’s in the titles “xDonkeySkullCorex” awful!
i prefer names that are kind of open ended, Little Red Thread sounds very cool. how’d you come up with that?
Johnny said about 1 year ago
Fullbleed
Playdead
haha, I like compound words that don’t exist?
I think they’re clever.

{miles to go} said 12 months ago
i always liked full bleed becuause of the design term, even though a lot of kids might not know it. obviously i liked miles to go, used it for my belts years ago and now the clothes.
its taken from one of a robert frosts poems whose last lines are: the woods are lovely dark and deep but i have promises to keep, and miles to go before i sleep, and miles to go before i sleep

I like…
Undr Crwn
Artful Dodger is a great name
MOB (the ladies line—Most Official Bitches)

dead said 9 months ago
Sorry to bring up an old topic, but I havent been here in a long time. How am I supposed to know that youre starting a new brand or what you say in other threads? Do you just assume that everyone on here follows everything you do? To be honest, I havent checked out your stuff in a while, so my fault on still thinking that it said Heartcore on a lot of it. The new name is actually pretty cool and I really like the artists idea. Are you going to continue to do both when its up an running, or just slowly phase Heartcore out?
Kolby said 9 months ago
I think Heartcore sound nice. Old Navy is such a bad ass name though.
oz2y said 9 months ago

Kolby said 9 months ago
Glamour Kills is bad ass too. And I know nobody really likes them but you have to admit Clandestine Industries is a great name.
AYYOGOLDSTEIN said 9 months ago
Johnny Cupcakes still is a great name to me.
Also, Im surprised nobodys said Emptees!
MadeByMAS said 9 months ago
nice taste man, all my favs are in there
jimmyheartcore said 9 months ago
No, I just assume that if someone is saying something insulting/questionable:
That they have the intuition to check it out before opening their mouth. Or moving their little fingeeeeees.
Its all good. I just thought the comment was kind of off-color.
I will do both as long as people are enjoying both - if Heartcore goes south, Ill let it go! But its doing ok still.

I really like Crooks and Castles name/idea but not so much the clothes.
The name is almost enough for me to buy stuff so thats pretty impressive.
herman said 9 months ago
which has a better name
Threadless or DesignByHumans?
Kolby said 9 months ago
Threadless

Dropdead is pretty sick.
LitoQ said 9 months ago
+1 Ive always loved that name, haha such a great set up for catchy sayings including the brand name:
"go fcuk yourself" lol
jimmyheartcore said 9 months ago
So ... you think you have the best name?
[sarcasm ]
At least youre humble.
[/sarcasm]
andrE w. said 9 months ago
im glad he thinks he has the best name, everyone should have said their brand name(unless you dont have one) is the best out there. jimmy, if you dont think heartcore is the best name in the market then you fucked up when branding yourself. and i know you said you dont like it anymore and youre moving away from it, well in that case you shuold have said little red thread is the best name out there. why brand yourself with a name you dont think is the greatest? doesnt make sense.
ChadDoesDesign said 9 months ago
doesnt that stand for something like french connection united kingdom>
LitoQ said 9 months ago
i believe so
oz2y said 9 months ago
http://www.fcuk.com/UK/
yep =).
drannek said 9 months ago
Well said andrE w.
And Jimmy yes, I do think I have the best brand name out there. If I dont think I don and if I didnt have the faith in it, do you think others would?
Please explain how thats not being humble...Im interested to know.

i like ours, "noetic". Even though were on a little hold until we get the next line ready to go(which will include my giant vs giant battle of doom)
seibei said 9 months ago
I like SEIBEI well enough, since its only six letters, it isnt used much in reference to stuff that isnt mine, and it means a lot to me, but it is a bummer explaining where it comes from (the name of the main character in Shiga Naoyas short story "Seibei and His Gourds") and how to pronounce it (Japanese vowels are like Spanish ones, if that helps).
I just hate when a name seems to have little to do with the actual feel of the brand, and is just a fun word or combination of words.

Im gonna start my line... called Mada..... its my name spelled backwards.... awesome.

This is going to be easy.
hum·ble (hmbl)
adj. hum·bler, hum·blest
1. Marked by meekness or modesty in behavior, attitude, or spirit; not arrogant or prideful.
antonym:
cav·a·lier (kv-lîr)
1. Haughty, disdainful, or supercilious.
drannek said 9 months ago
Um... right.
Actually youre wrong. You posted the definition of the word humble not how the situation at hand related to me being humble. Lame.

jimmyheartcore said 9 months ago
Dude what an effin' badass name. That just rolls off the tongue. I havent heard of them before!
Actually I posted the definition of the word "humble" to illustrate how the situation at hand related to you not being humble.
Which is also why I posted the definition of the word "cavalier" - what you were, in fact, being.

Jon Kruse said 9 months ago
Yeah its kind of being full of yourself to put your name as your brand name and think you have the "best brand name out there".
Weston said 9 months ago
Best name ever: Cole Trickle - Racecar driver of the Mello Yellow car in the movie days of thunder.
It could work in various situations
- Fictional badass racecar driver
- 70's porn star
- ... yeah thats pretty much about it.
I also like Johnny Cupcakes.

drannek said 8 months ago
Nope still doesnt work. I could post the qualities of a good leader a million times, but still show no relevance to how it would make Hillary Clinton a great president.
Its official. Youre lame. Theres no need for me to argue with you.
@rightcoaster - Yea I love that name, cardboard robot.

jimmyheartcore said 8 months ago
I was being serious!
Its official, you have no leg to stand on.
Your replies lack any real justification, not to mention the mental capacity to give a successful or clever response to my statements. You can tell me that Im wrong, or that what Im saying doesnt make sense.
You are illustrating your ineptitude even further.
So Im just going to rescind.
Youre right Drannek is the best name.
Ever.
M.Eureka said 8 months ago
it is not about being proud of your name.. a name just represent what your brand is .. no? I dont think Johnny cupcakes think he have the best name I would say it is just very representative to what he does :) tell me if im wrong.. a name is to represent you.. not to be the best ..
"Turbo Banana" IS the best
drannek said 8 months ago
Youre a mess lol. I never said my name was the best name on the face of the fashion scene and that all other lines must cease operation if they fail short of its glory. I said I think I had the best name. If you dont believe in your name and your brand as a whole, who will? You take this site too seriously homie. Get out for a while.
jimmyheartcore said 8 months ago
No shit? lol
Firstly. I moderate this site. I am on it quite a bit.
Secondly. I called you humble [sarcastically], and you challenged me with stupid arguments. Then you called me lame twice. Now youre saying I take it too seriously. Youre all over the place.
Youre not making sense dude.
And for gods sake, when you quote someone you dont have to quote the whole fucking thing. Just quote what youre responding to.
If Im lame, youre soft in the head.
Oh, and:
Lighten up dude. You take this website too seriously.
