Custom made T shirts

[BMGM3]

In relation to another thread on here about looking for an obscure T shirt, has anyone here had their own T shirts made to order ? I'm looking at a few simple designs which I would already have the art work done by simply scanning in the logo to my computer and saving it to disk ,which I'm guessing is how it would need to be done .

Also , are there several types of printing process and what are the pros and cons of each ? Any hints,tips and advice would be gratefully received !

You can buy transfer paper that you print out on from your pc and then you iron on the transfer onto your t-shirt, I would expect them to last too many washes before they start peeling off, but it's going to be cheaper than have some done at your local printers

My kids did me an ironed-on TVR logo on a bright yellow T-shirt about 5 years ago: although the shirt has faded the logo is still sound.

I use a good shop in Brighton for this. Heat transfer or something is the simplest - starting at £10 for an A4 sized design. Silk-screen is the quality way forward, but costs £50 for the template. All IIRC.

I quite enjoy having unique designs (I never wear anything other than T's). The shop is called Jump The Gun, on North Road.

Should be something similar in your locality.

Thermal transfer, cut vinyl transfer, sublimation (special shirts required).

Contact me through profile if you need any.

Just thought I'd share this with you. My bro-in-law and sis got this made for me...



On the reverse it says "Stop That, Bad Boy". The reasons for this are obscure but involve a young nephew.

Perfect for a night on the piss I thought...
