Cutthroatpete tshirts..

Posted by cutthroatpete on May 12, 2013

I would like to start this short blog by thanking everybody for their support with the launch of my brand. I am extremely grateful and humbled by the interest everybody is showing in my tshirts, I have more products to be released really soon and I look forward to seeing more people wearing my logo and spreading the word.

Last week, Wayne Rooney, a good customer and friend of mine, posted a picture of himself on his twitter in one of my tshirts. This sparked a massive interest in my brand and i have been inundated with orders.

A lot of my customers have been sharing pictures of themselves in Cutthroatpete tshirts on Instagram and twitter and this has been great for me to have the oppurtunity to repost theses pictures and show others how happy people are with their purchase.

I have also gained a massive amount of followers on twitter this week. I would like to thank all my followers new and old for helping me promote myself.

I have a column in the Summer issue of Open magazine which is a massive magazine in Liverpool, its only been around for coming on a year but they already have a massive following and I am so happy to be able to work with them and for them giving me the opportunity to write for them.

The essence of a good haircut.

Posted by cutthroatpete on April 1, 2013

A haircut should make a man feel confident. Guys should be able to apply a recommended product to their hair and create the look they want after they have left the shop. A mans haircut should look good right up until his next visit to the barbershop.
Good haircuts should fit the owner perfectly, it should fit into their lifestyle and if needed, be able to look smart for daytime/work and more styled and edgy for evenings. The right haircut for you can change the appearance of you’re hair and make it look less thick/thin and lifeless.

The perfect haircut is one that involves input from both the gentleman and the barber.

Cutthroatpete the brand…

Posted by cutthroatpete on March 19, 2013

I was talking to a mate before christmas and he was asking how I actually came up with the name ‘Cutthroatpete. He was saying how cool and relevant the name was and suggested I should build my brand around it. I had been interested in doing this for some time, but when this guy suggested it, I thought, Why not?!

I was talking to my customers about it and one in particular recommended his mate to me, we met up a few times and our ideas were pretty much excactly the same. I left him to get to work on it and he ended up producing my logo. It is absolutely perfect, it contains everything I wanted it to and is better than i actually imagined it would be.

When I was thinking of creating a logo, I thought it would be a great idea to produce some tshirts. Robbie, who designed my logo, mocked up some tshirts for me with the logo on and they looked the bollocks!! So… I am currently working with a printer who is the best at his job, and he has advised me what brand of tshirts to use etc. I am having some samples delivered to me tomorrow, so hopefully i will be able to put my first order in over the next few days. I have had loads of requests for tshirts already so, hopefully Cutthroatpete will get everywhere!!

I have loads more ideas for products etc, hopefully these will be developed as soon as possible, now that my logo is sorted, it should all be moving along quick.

I am going to release the signature tshirt first, but there are lots more designs to follow. I will keep my brand fresh, with new designs and products being released regularly.

If you would like to order a tshirt, i suggest you keep an eye on my twitter, as i will post the actual release date on there, plus payment methods, and ordering options.

This is my first tshirt that will be released…

I am hoping to get the tshirts sent all over the world, i have requests from as far as America and New Zealand already.

Follow my twitter @cutthroatpete for regular updates and info, and my instagram @cutthroatpete for pictures of tshirts and logos.

If you require any more information regarding the cutthroatpete brand, I can be contacted on petercranfield@hotmail.com

Shortlist Magazine photoshoot and a cigar lounge…

Posted by cutthroatpete on February 8, 2013

I was kindly invited by shortlist magazine to be the barber on the set for a photo shoot today. It was the first on set job i’d done, so i was really excited to get going. I travelled down to London last night and stayed over in a cool hotel right by Tottenham court road tube station. It was an early start, we had to be on set for 9am. I actually got to give the two models a tidy up, little sharpen up round the ears etc, and then it was all about the styling. I loved working along side the photographer and checking back over the photos to make sure the guys hair was looking good. The creative director and the photographer both let me know that they were really pleased with the looks i created on the models. After a few hours of shooting loads of pictures with different clothes and scenes it was all finished. I had a great time and actually learnt some valuable tips on how to get the most out of a model. I will look forward to working with shortlist magazine again.

I love a retro Seeburg table top juke box..

This place is a brilliant location for a photoshoot.

After the shoot was done, i headed back into london for a mooch before meeting up with my best mate for some food. The weather wasn’t the best, so i decided to try and find somewhere that sold good coffee around the leicester square area. I stumbled across a ‘Cigar Lounge on Wardour street. it was attached to a bar called Casa. I had heard that some premises had found a loop hole in the smoking law that allowed people to smoke cigars indoors, despite cigarettes being banned totally. I walked in to this place and was invited into the large walk in Humidor by the assistant in the Cigar Lounge, I told the guy i was keen to smoke something that wasn’t too strong, after explaining to me in detail which cigar he recommended for me, I decided to try a Montecristo. I have smoked cigars loads of times before and although i have enjoyed them, i dont think i have ever found the right one. The Montecristo will be my regular! The guy told me it would last me about half an hour, so i ordered myself a mocha and kicked back with my cigar and a coffee. I felt like someone from ‘Made in chelsea, but i really enjoyed that half an hour. I would always recommend asking expert advice on which cigar to choose before just jumping in and not understanding the difference between the strengths and flavours.

Check out the website for this bar and cigar lounge or next time you fancy a Stogie and a coffee pop in..

I will certainly be back when i’m next in London.

So, ive had a great day, cutting hair, styling hair, smoking cigars, and drinking coffee.

I will post a link to the shortlist article when it is released.
