Making T-shirts?

<< < (3/3)

Edith:
Huh. I think printmaking is pretty cool, too, but I'd never call someone a dumbass for not doing it exactly like I do.

Especially not in a thread that isn't really about that question at all. Brilliant Eraser just has some cool ideas and wants someone else to print them for him and is asking for advice on who prints good shirts.

Emaline:
By saying "I'm not a dumbass," I meant, "I am not just pulling idea out of my ass. I do know what I am talking about."

I'm not saying anyone is wrong, really. I am just saying "Hey, you should totally give silkscreening a shot!" and then I felt a little attacked by my ideas of not using a company. My second post in this thread I tried to end in a teasing joking manner. In general, I don't have much of a problem with using a company, but man guys seriously. Try doing it by hand.




Also, please not I bolded little for a reason. I didn't feel like everyone was all "SAHFLKDHFLKJADSHF WHAT THE FUCK YOU FUCKING IDIOT WITH YOUR CRAZY IDEAS FOR MAKING SHIRTS DSLFJDLFJADJFA;D" I just kinda felt like everyone was just brushing off my ideas as silly and pointless.

Emaline:
Oh man. Jeans, I agree, and it is completely accidental. Will fix.

And I am not angry! Just trying to make sense. It is difficult. I fail at words.

I guess. Because I have spent so much of my time making shirts the way I make them, is in unethical for me to do it any other way. Like making a vegan eat a rare steak.

Hljómalind:
Emaline, I agree about the fun, and the craft, of making your own T-shirts. I've only made a few, but they're my favourite ones now, and I don't think I'd feel that way if they hadn't been "Hand made". (I admit I actually left the stitching of the material to some Indonesian kid.)

As for the OP, my sports team used T-Machine (UK based) and they were ok. One of my friends had a bad experience with Indigo, and a good experience with National Sportswear. (I'm not sure if the latter was a custom print, though.) One of my US friends has used BrokenArrow, but they have a minimum order requirement, so if it's just for a couple they're not suitable.

Try Me to We Style. From their website:

--- Quote ---Our product line is domestically produced, sweatshop-free and made using certified organic cotton and bamboo.

My highschool uses Me To We for our cast/crew shirts during productions. They're reasonably priced, really well-made, and maaaad comfortable. The Gobi Bamboo tee for ladies is really comfortable and durable. I think the mens' counterpart is the Caspian Bamboo tee.
