I can't help but feel that the NS store is far less dope and far more, well shitty. Impersonal, somewhat disorganized, and not really reflecting upon the ideas and values that it once did- decent service and cool shit/dope deals. Must be the economy.. interns only do so much.

well jim does pretty much everything. its super hard for him to run and manage, we help as much as we can but were not there everyday. now that he has a new, much larger office, he'll be able to organize things more, and have less shit laying around.

more importantly though, the more you buy now, the better the store gets!

We're working to improve it all the time. As for deals - have you looked through it? Basically everything is going through a firesale right now... stuff is like 10%-70% off - so if you're looking for deals we got 'em.

As for the reflection of values - well the idea behind the store was to sell items that promoted newschoolers - This is still there. I'll admit we moved to some more simple designs using just logo treatments. This was a decision based on our manufacturing process, which allowed us to maximize the different styles there were to order.

Now, as we head into winter the goal is to get back to more community-driven designs - henceforth Round #2 of the product design contest. http://newschoolers.com/web/mediacontests/entrieslist/cid/27/

Get your entries in there, and we'll open it up for voting tomorrow.

Please though, I want to hear your suggestions for the store. This stuff is for you guys, and if you want something just ask. BigJim will track it down and we'll get it if enough people want it!

10-70% off of shit that has been kickin around for a few months if not longer. Getting rid of products that have been sitting in boxes is still cool, but if there had been some doper deals to begin with, it wouldn't come to you guys having to liquidate your shit. Plus, I don't buy Medium t-shirts.

Reflection of values... I was down when Jason was running the store- there were lots of combo deals and whatnot. Idk. I just felt like I could order something and know that I was gonna get hooked up. I definitely don't feel as though the current store 'hooks it up' at all. I know you guys have to make money and shit, but I just look at the store and... I can't find the right adjective... it's just lame. Look at the "NS Sticker Pack" for example. The stickers aren't even cool, plus there's like 10 of them. There was a deal a while ago where I literally received a full manilla envelope of stickers for like 10 bucks. That was dope. All I'm saying is that there's a lack of creativity and personality to the store.

The whole point of the Newschoolers store, in my opinion, was to help members rep NS as cheaply and looking as fly as possible while doing so. Now, if I wanted to rep NS, I gotta drop some billz that I don't have (90$ to replace my IF3 hoodie that got fucked up), or buy a small ass, liquidated t-shirt. Disappointing to see the direction the store has taken.

You may not buy medium T-shirts, but there are many people that do. Thats why we have all the way up to 5XL tall T's - which are genuine pro club. I agree that we need some fresh stuff, and thats why we're going the design contest. We want to get fresh gear happening again, and we're going to expand the line to do just that.

I agree with you on the combo deals - We have been thinking we need to bring that feature back and offer some wicked combinations. Sorry about that, its our bad and I do take responsibility for that. We got caught up in trying to offer many different options and forgot to package them together. We'll get on that and thank you for reminding us. The sticker pack you spoke of was big - I believe it was the "big dick pack" you're referring to? If so... well again we can get it back quite easily.

The IF3 hoodie - dude I'm totally sorry about that. You should talk to the IF3 guys about replacing your hoodie. We get them directly from them, so have zero control over the price or what happens with the stock. Contact Felix or JF about it - they're pretty reasonable guys!

Anyways, the store has been experiencing pretty rapid growth and we've been doing everything in our power to dial it in more and more. Its gets better by the day, and I totally get that we need to add more value, more variety, cooler designs, and many other things. However, we have to take it one day at a time so for now, you hold off on your orders and let everyone clear out the older items while we hold our pre-season sale. Then we'll get some ultra fresh shit going, and make sure to create packages and hopefully win your business back in the future.

I would love if the "big dick pack" made a return because I meant to buy one a while ago but it was gone from the store and never came back :(

As for combos, that would be sick to have them again like the "baller combo" a while back. Maybe have like a purple combo or something since a lot of shirts are purple and you would get some purple stickers or just *insert color here* combo would be sick.

so you would rather it go back to only having one NS product every six months and waiting a super long time with pre-orders?

I just want my t-shirt I ordered over two months ago.
Big Jim told me that it was delivered then found out it got sent back and was at the Canpar depot. He said he was going to get it fixed. Its been almost a month since that and over two months since ordered it.
I have not gotten anymore pms from him or additional information.
I have all pm records and the paypal transaction and order number. I filed a claim and then took the claim away when he said he was getting it fixed.
I am not hatin on NS, but I either want my shirt or at least put my $25 toward my donator status.
I think this is the only way to get people on it. Big Jim hasnt even read my last couple of pms (Im sure he gets flooded I understand).
That made my hand get a brain freeze

Do you need a tissue after that steeze?

those types of quality shirts are very expensive and very hard to come by. The only way that this could be made possible is NS kids starting supporting the store and purchasing more frequently

Hmmm, maybe I am thinking of another shirt of mine that is neon. I will check tomorrow.

And I am not saying that it should fit tall, but sometimes shirts, after a wash, fit really short and fat.

Only one thing... some of us here (most likely only me) are not fans of wearing tall ts but I still want a NS shirt. At the same time though, the normal NS shirts I doubt would fit me.... this could be something that only I have an issue with (me being such a fucking fatass)

Actually, the XL and 2XL tall shirts are fairly slim fitting. Our *new* tall T's (the big blue and the black ones) are all slim and tall.

What you want is a regular T in 2XL - not sure if we have stock left in any of those sizes, you'd have to browse around or ask Jim. But these are definitely what you want if you want big and loose-fitting, but not gangsta tall.

I was actually smart and looked before I posted, I don't think you have any in stock. It gave me a sad panda face. :(

Oh well, I'll just rock the old school NS stickers on my Nalgene for now.
