Been a bit, but i’ve been busy…

so i have the first three designs ready for print.  i just ordered the shirts today and they should be here by wednesday, then i’ll print them over the weekend.

for the sean bradley shirts, i bought 24 jerzeez 29M, or 50/50 cotton/polyester blend.  they are nice shirts that i’ve tested already and they hold up well to repeated wash.

for the monstar shirts; redesigned cityscape and working man on the run, i bought 12 royal apparel 100% combed ringspun cotton fine jerseys.  these are more expensive than the jerzeez and have a much softer feel and different fit–I HOPE!!!  i based my selection off of other people’s experiences on t-shirtforums.com.

i also have a new ink.  i bought some Nazdar 9500 series aquaprint waterbased ink.  this is supposed to…hmm, how do i put this…  “melt into the fabric.”  making it seem like the ink is part of the fabric, not just a layer on top, like plastisol ink does.  i’ve only tested it a little bit and it has worked out pretty good so far; so i’m crossing my fingers for a 20+ shirt job.

so check out my thangs.  i bought a “pool” colored shirt from royal.  the sean bradley shirts will be white.  i have white and black ink and will determine which looks best.  i will definitely do the cityscape in white.
