Sorry… it’s been a while…

June 20. 2009 by Keegan Hall.

I have been insanely business over the past few months and I haven’t had a chance to update this blog.  I appreciate everyone who regularly checks back to see what I’m up to (there are actually quite a few of you, which is what got me motivated to start writing again).  I wanted to share a few random thoughts:

A while ago a posted my book review of Richard McKenzie’s “Why Popcorn Costs So Much at the Movies.”  Someone mentioned to me that Amazon.com got wind of my review and posted excerpts from it on their website.  Really?! My book review?!  Sure enough, it’s true!   COOL!   If someone is looking to buy this book on Amazon.com then they’ll get a chance to read my review.  Well, at least a few lines from my review….

Over the past month I’ve been getting really into designing cut and sewn shirts for men.  I’ve met with several people who are “in the fashion industry” and I’ve received a lot of great feedback on my designs.  It’s always great to hear when other people appreciate your creative vision.  It definitely adds fuel to the fire and energizes me to continue on.  I am currently in the process of having samples of my designs produced.  My only worry is that my designs might be too intricate (and costly) to produce.  In my opinion, there are so many shirts out there that consist of a simple design screen printed onto a shirt.  I want to navigate as far away from this norm as possible.  My shirts offer texture and multi-layered designs that incorporate screen printing and highly detailed embroidery.  To me, the finished shirts are more like piece of artwork.  They really are different than anything that’s out there currently.  I hope to connect with a quality manufacturer soon so I can begin producing the shirts on a larger scale.  So exciting!
