TeeShirts

[DSF Guest 10]

I look online for shirts I like, and find a TON of great ones out there, But I DONT want to spend $20+ on a tee that I don't know for sure will fit, etc. Any idea where to get them cheep? For example, Is there a way to steel the print and then take it to a teeshirt warehouse or something?

you can make your own graphic tees by going to a craft store and buying the shirts for like $3 and they sell blank iron on sheets that are made of fabric and a heat activated adhesive and they come in a feww different colors, like white ivory or a transparent one so theres no white around the design if your using a colored shirt. you just print out whatever the image is onto these sheets, they go through the printer like a piece of paper and you iron them on the shirts

That's fantastic.

dude i tried this and totally fucked it up, just make sure you iron the correct side of the plastic sheet because let me tell you, its no fun having a picture of superman wrestling a horse stuck to the bottom of your iron

If you go to better sites, they will measurements of the entire garment.

I use all net measurements and compare them to my favorite T-shirt and Jeans when buying online. It usually works. (but not 100%)

We should create a special DSF t-shirt that says, I showed my boobs on the DSF boards and all I got was this lousy tshirt and an avatar.

I have done a fair bit of research on t-shirts and printing techniques. You wont get very far trying to rip off designs from a preview jpg you get on the site.

Heat transfers or iron-on transfers are pretty much the lowest quality you can get. Expect to find the image hard and tacky and then when you wash it you will get cracks all over it. So by the time you have spent cash on the t-shirt, ink for your printer, the transfer itself and the time it takes to do it all - you might as well spend the whole $20 it would cost in the first place.

I import a lot of t-shirts from the USA as it still works out much cheaper than they are here (Scotland). If I want a half decent t-shirt that isn't from some chain store it costs a minimum of 20GBP ($40), but double that isnt uncommon, although I find that too expensive. I think designer labels have the shittest designs but thats about something else.

Here are some really good t-shirt sites if you want something original by someone with talent rather than slogans or cashing in on some Will Ferrel shit. I know I sound like a snob by the way, I was working on starting an accessories brand for a few years and ended up knowing a bit too much about how the cheapo sites rip people off with easy sales.
