Jerry Lorenzo was 34 when he started Fear of God.

A party promoter in LA. Son of an MLB coach. He’d worked corporate sponsorships for the LA Dodgers, gotten an MBA at Loyola, sold jeans part-time at Diesel during school.

He’d never designed a piece of clothing in his life.

Then in 2011 he looked in his closet, felt something was missing, and started Fear of God with $14,000.

Big Sean’s stylist found his extra-long t-shirts. Kanye called weeks later. Jerry flew to Atlantic City to meet him.

In 2016 he designed Justin Bieber’s Purpose Tour merch — grunge graphics, oversized fits, distressed flannels. Sold at Pacsun and H&M. It rewrote what streetwear merch could look like.

Vans called. Nike made him the Air Fear of God 1. Adidas hired him as Global Head of Basketball in 2020.

Then he made the quiet masterstroke.

In 2018 he launched Essentials. Premium blanks. Accessible price. Heavyweight quality. Today: sold in 80+ countries. The most-worn streetwear label on the planet.

The pattern repeats. Corteiz. Represent.

They all started with one thing: a product worth talking about.

Jerry learn cotton weights. Find the right factories. Negotiate from zero.

You don’t have to.

René Bassett builds premium blanks for founders who want to start with the quality Jerry spent years figuring out. No MOQs. Heavyweight. Professional from drop one.

Most brands only ask the right questions after they’ve already been burned.

This guide exists so you don’t have to.

Four chapters covering the criteria most brands overlook when evaluating a blank apparel supplier: quality beyond the sample, consistency at scale, what real service looks like, and how to make the switch without disrupting your operation.

2 brothers. A student bedroom in Manchester. 20 t-shirts.

15 years later: £100M in revenue. Stores in LA, London and Manchester. Worn by Bieber, Metallica and Dua Lipa.

This is the real story of Represent.

2011 George Heaton was studying graphic design. He started screen-printing t-shirts in his room. His brother Mike joined. Their first store was a festival stall.

Then George handed free caps to Rizzle Kicks before they went on stage. They wore them the whole show.

Then came Bieber. George dropped off clothes in Manchester. Bieber wore Represent for the rest of his entire tour.

No ads. No budget. Just the right product at the right moment.

By 2013, Footasylum stocked them. By 2017, Paris Fashion Week. Then New York Fashion Week. Then Metallica. Oasis. Dua Lipa.

They built it alone for 13 years. Then a private equity firm bought a minority stake, on their terms.

That’s not luck. That’s what happens when the product is good enough to speak for itself.

George started screen-printing blanks in his bedroom. You don’t have to.

Choosing the right fabric isn’t just a creative decision, it directly affects how your product fits, feels, lasts, and how your brand is perceived.

Many first-time founders focus on design first.
But the foundation of a good product starts with the fabric.

There’s no universal “best fabric”.
Only the right one for your product, your customer, and your goals.

If you’re building your first collection and not sure where to start, we can help.

From 16 hoodies in a bedroom to £43M in revenue. Zero investors.

September 2017. Clint was broke, sleeping on his sister’s couch.

He screen-printed 16 hoodies with an Alcatraz logo. Sold all 16. Then kept Instagram private for 18 months — no ads, no influencers, word of mouth only.

50 followers became 10,000. Pure organic.

When he finally opened up: 99p cargo pants. Jacket swaps in car parks. Secret pop-ups with GPS coordinates only. Every drop went viral. Every piece sold out.

Then Nike sent a cease and desist.

He turned it into 7 collaborations.

Today: £43M revenue. Zero investors. 10,000+ orders per drop.

It started with 16 hoodies and the right blank.

You don’t need investors. You don’t need Nike. You need a product worth talking about — and that starts with what you choose before you print a single thing.

Luxury used to mean perfect.
We think it means unrepeatable.

Every Ensign Blue hoodie goes through a sun fading process that pulls the color unevenly across the fabric. No two pieces come out the same. The variation isn’t a compromise - it is the whole point.

480 GSM Cotton French Terry. 100% Cotton. Oversized fit. Double-lined hood. Made in Portugal.

The piece your customer gets will never exist again.
