### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ TY Mr. Finley
*by P***Z on October 31, 2011*

So a buddy of mine asks me to start a tshirt/clothing company with him... Its something ive always wanted to do but have never pulled the trigger... so we decide that we are going to just go for it... but where do we start??? so i begin to research and i find a video on youtube of Adam from Iamthetrend talking about a book by Jeff Finley called, Threads Not Dead... ordered the book... and its simply amazing... Somewhat of a blueprint, a road map, an insiders look into the industry of where it has been and where it is at present time... Like Adam said in his video the first half of the book talks to the graphic designers in us... and the second half of the book talks about the business aspect and starting your company... the cool part about the ebook is that he shares all sorts of links to different companies and stuff that he uses or has used in the past... he also shares extra reading with more pertinent information which are also linked through the ebook... I also enjoyed the last part of the book which he interviewed a bunch of friends/colleagues and they basically share their stories and also give advice and tips and inspiration to us...Just like anything in life... you can learn on your own through trial and error, making a ton of mistakes and costing yourself time and money, while you learn... Or you can find a mentor or pro at the subject and learn from one of the best in the field... If its starting a tshirt/clothing company, here is our mentor... Jeff Finley.Jeff, I appreciate that u took the time to write this book and share your information with us... With your guidance and knowledge i have a clearer understanding of what im in store for. :)Much Love and Peace.Respectfully,Patrick Corpuz

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must have for anyone looking to get into the apparel industry!
*by M***D on October 5, 2011*

So I got this book a couple days ago, and I must say that I am very impressed with Jeff Finely's work. First off, the quality of the print is simply exceptional. But secondly, and more importantly, the content in this book is unmatched for people looking to break into the apparel industry, or even for people already in it looking to grow.Threads Not Dead goes in depth about many subjects including;The background of Jeff Finley,Freelancing,Designing for Tees,Design Techniques & Tutorials,Printing & Production,Branding & Marketing,Sales & Fulfillment,Going Big-Time,Conclusions & Next Actions& (My Favorite) Case Studies & Interviews.Each category or chapter, has many sub-chapters and goes into great detail of each subject. There really isn't many questions (if any) that will go unanswered in this book if your looking to start your own line (but even if there is, in my dealings with Jeff, he will help you out).The case studies is my favorite chapter. This section goes into the stories and personal thoughts of some of the greats in the apparel industry. Contributors of this fantastic book including the great people from Threadless, Emptees, DesignByHumans, Big Cartel, I Am The Trend, Go Media, Jakprints, Glamour Kills, Paint the Stars, Cure Apparel, Fright-Rags, & more.So all in all, I highly recommend this book if your looking to break into the Apparel Industry. There is no need to do it trial by error if you can already learn from the mistakes the best in the industry have already made. If your interested in buying it, you can buy the hardcover here on amazon, or the ebook comes with lots of goodies like an audio book, and over 60MB of vectors, textures, etc on threadsnotdead.com.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ VERY helpful
*by Z***E on May 17, 2012*

This book was stab in the dark for me. I purchased with little exposure to the author, his blog, or his work. Ultimately it was very helpful in setting up my shirt company. There were sections that didn't apply directly to my company or target audience but I read them anyway for the information. Highly recommend this book.Only negative for me was the amount of time the author spend espousing participation in the indie clothing scene. This was only a negative because, as I found when attempting to follow the advice, not all target audiences and the associated aesthetics are appropriate on nearly all of the forums he suggested. Reviews were luke warm at best on these sites for my work but were received extremely well on forums that specifically apply to my target audience. My target audience was the hotrod/gearhead community which generally has very different aesthetics and ideas on things like brands.-Zombie Jake
