My friend Oliver's line. thought you all might dig it
Cut-Rate is not a line with a manifesto about merging cultures, creating a movement via fashion, or expressing individuality through t-shirts.
Nor is Cut-Rate about elitist cut-and-sew, lofty philosophies, or making the world a better place.
Cut-Rate is for doing. It's for having your head under the hood of your car, for rumbling across endless stretches of asphalt, for getting scraped up, for wiping beads of sweat off of your forehead, and for being thrown on three days in a row.
100% crafted and manufactured in the U.S.A., Cut-Rate is built upon the utilitarian principles of classic American work wear—it's not "the best", nor does it care to be—but works. And it works hard.
Using hand-made vintage fabrics milled in the States and utilizing timeless cuts and silhouettes, the brand's homemade, DIY aesthetic promotes a "ride it till the wheels fall off" mentality—it doesn't want to be clean and kept, but used, destroyed, and replaced. Cut-Rate is the ubiquitous, the classic, and a symbol of the machine of American life.
The first season of Cut-Rate will be in select stores in Japan and the United States beginning Spring/Summer 2010.
