Review of Wolves Vs Lions

Some of you may have noticed that we haven’t an episode of IAMTHETREND TV in forever! For that I completely apologize, but unfortunately it’s not looking like we will be returning to our live T-Shirt show anytime in the near future. I do have a bunch of tees that companies have sent, so since we are not doing our show right now, I am going to be doing written reviews as well as filmed reviews of the tees that have been sent in!

So here we go a look at Wolves Vs. Lions Apparel. WVL is a relatively new company with only four designs to their name, but as you guessed it these tees focus around LIONS! It always amazes and impresses me how companies such as Omunky, Hamburger Disco and now Wolves Vs Lions can take a extremely niche idea and create several different spins on basically the same concept.

When you have a clothing company based entirely around lions and wolves you would think that it would be rather exhausting and redundant, but Wolves Vs Lions does a great job taking the lion concept and portraying it in several different lights.

They sent me in two tees for review, the now sold out “Mother Savannah” and “Ghost Wolf” so let’s take a look.

The 4P’s (Packaging, Printing, Price, Presentation)

Packaging

The mailer that was sent in was interesting to say the least. WVL, has take a standard United States Post Office envelope and spray painted their logo on both the front and back of the mailer. This is honestly the first time that I have seen a company do this and in all honesty it stands out. While this isnt the perfect and most professional mailer I have ever seen, you have to love the effort and creativity that these guys put into this.

The package also included a poster of each design which was a nice touch!

Grade: B

Printing

The printing on both of these shirts is both very clean and well done. I can’t spot any screen printing mishaps and the ink on both tees feels pretty soft. I can see these getting even softer with one wash. While there isn’t a ton of small detail that the screen printer had to pull off they did do a good job making sure everything was printed with clean lines and did not cake the ink on. Which is exactly what you hope for when buying a tee online, well done.

Grade: A

Price

Both of these tees are priced at $18 which comes well under that $20 price range that I love. That being said these tees are also not printed on fashion fit blanks. “Mother Savannah” is printed on Fruit of the Loom and “Ghost Wolf” is printed on Tultex. While both of these blanks are decent they are not the top of the line American Apparel or Alternative Apparel. For $18 each I think this price point is well justified with the quality of screen printing and the decent blanks. Also if you use code “IATT” you will get an extra 15% off your order!

Grade: A

Presentation

Last but not least we have the overall presentation of the tees. I would have to say I like what I see from WVL, but I am a bit concerned with how much the brand jumps around with their styles. As I stated earlier I am in impressed with the different angles WVL took with their line, but I do feel looking at some of their newer tees such as “Splatter Wolf“ this brand is either about to change it’s style or its spreading itself a bit to far.

Overall between the packaging, printing, and price WVL definitely is on the right to track. With a bit more honed “brand identity” these guys will do good things!
