selling tip from the book by the dude who created "Attitude" brand.
he designed his shirts and went to a few stores to see if they'd stock them. they all said no. so he got heaps of his mates to ring these stores and ask if they stocked "Attitude" as they were " the best" awesome" etc etc.....
so the stores rang him and placed some orders!!
try that one!! it's also a good book if anyone likes that sort....
also i like the shirts....

that s***s awesome good work

lol crazymorton i like that idea.

the shirts arn't bad.. but $45 is a bit rich considering the brand is unknown. i could buy a shirt with a random design from threadless and have it shipped from the U.S for half that price.

you should try to keep the cost really really low while you're starting out, like $10-$15 and you'd sell plenty. make less $ (per shirt) but sell more shirts, better then high profits off of a few ;)

Great job. Love the Afro Chicken and Hummer shirt. I'd probably snap them up, but they're a tad too expensive (for the points previously pointed out) now if they were $15~ a shirt then I'd probably snap them up in a second.

Best of luck too!

he cant have em too cheap otherwise they become a budget brand, what made me lol back in australia was watching people pay >$80 for tshirts at pacific fair

Compared to an expensive (unknown) brand that doesn't sell

some cool designs there, keep it up.

Maybe he could sell them on a pre-paid basis. When he has accumulated a few orders he can send them off to the printers.

good shirts, deffo good at first run too. but yeah, you want to get as many on the street as possible. so c***s where em and are advertising for you.

i can get etnies shirts for £7 so yeah, price is too high.

man talk about launching into a crowded market!

too fruity.

like the type of fruit you find in a gay hole.

Great stuff mate - excellent drawing and awesome to see someone having a go and turning an idea into a reality.

Don't listen to the naysayers - they're the same people who will never do anything interesting or exceptional in their lives.

i like the ned kelly one but the color is a bit on the gay side

How expensive and involved is your screenprinting set up?

Looking good mate, keep up the good work!

I like but too expensive - drop the price to around $20-25 and you'll have a buyer.

How tall are you aP - I want to get comparison between shirt length and your height

i like the one with the chickens, it's an awesome colour too

the ned kelly one is an awesome colour. but very over done by FCUK they seem to really be hammering that kind of colour for the past year or so

speaking of fcuk, i have this shirt. it's f***ing awesome:

Great stuff mate.

I have the heartbomb and the chicken one, and can say that I get a fair few positive comments when im out and about.

probably looking to get the spray painted dezu one too.

Cheers for all your thoughts!

These are decent quality shirts that are professionally printed. I can understand that some people aren't willing to pay for an unknown brand, but I really wanted to make quality shirts that were original and are a bit different to whats out there.

Basically, what my mates and I wanted to wear.

yellow feet: I am 199cm, so i am always adamant that shirts are long enough in the body, another great reason to start your own label, you can be sure of the dimensions.

If you like the designs, be sure to download one of the wallpapers from the site!

Good work! excellent designs...
props to you.

Wow, it's great to see another ~2m tall guy out there creating good shirts for tall guys. I might check your site out closer to summer.

If you guys want shirts that fit tall guys, go and buy ANY shirt out there and you'll have a winner. The problem is that shirts these days are way to f***ing long and it f***ing s***s me. f***!

sucks to be short

i like shirts that stop at the belt line, or just below.

lols, short people

Agreed, and it's not even about being short, they even look too long on tall people.

don't expect to get any positive remarks here your asking the wrong demographic.

really? males that wear t-shirts? I think it's probably a fairly safe bet that there's a few of them here

lols, short people

short shirts show off my uber chest better.

Epic, noone likes man titties

shut up, shorty

my oldest son would prolly like that first shirt, he draws really well too and does that style of drawing

lol your kids an emo, uv failed parenting

hahaha u must b hell short then. there are heaps of shirts that dont have a long enough torso =(

when I made that post there was only the samurai one followed by the hummer one
not the heart one you faget@^%

Just had a brainwave for a friends 21st birthday this Saturday.
I have decided to get him a customized T-Shirt. Can anyone recommend any companies in Brisbane that will print customized T-shirts? Preferably one that I can visit in person (ie. not online). I need the shirt by Friday.

Wow, I find the exact opposite, shirts always seem too short on me. I'm not exactly a elephantitus riddled giant ( 6'2" ) like spook either.

why are you quoting your height in feet/inches? what the hell is wrong with you.

Because most people still do?

On Topic:

I saw a DEZU shirt walking around brisbane city on sunday!

go back to america

why are you quoting your height in feet/inches? what the hell is wrong with you.

For some reason height is the only thing I still use imperial system for. For some weird reason I can't visualise the hight in metric :( I'm broken....

haha sweet news fireblood, do u remember the design of the shirt?

Jabarony, Similar to this one, cept im pretty sure the shirt was green, the dezu wasn't multicoloured.

i must be blind, i cant figure out how the 'light background' samurai differs to the dark one

one has a pattern thats dark blue with a light blue background, and the other has a light blue pattern with a dark blue background.

Was experimenting with the colours with the samurai one.

Just to do a makeshift poll, let me know which one you like/hate the most?

can you make a simplistic/minimalistic one?

I'll probably pick a few up when I get paid, I like them :)

Summer is here again and to mark the beginning of T-shirt weather, I have slashed all shirts to $30 + free postage.

Do you make shirts if someone sends in a design?

I'd be keen to get that 'tree' one in baby-t if it's possible.

http://www.frenchconnection.com.au/www/155/files/512040_ra.jpg

where'd you find that one paveway? I can't seem to find it on that site for sale

yeah mate, i actually had a look for it last night would you beleive it after i went into the FCUK shop at chermside.

it would appear it's been discontinued.

i'd be keen as to get a joker one if it didn't come in s*** colours like black and grey

there is an alright joker one, a picture of the joker card but i have too many red shirts so i decided against it

If you want Batman shirts, these guys have a couple.

Batman shirts

They also have Frisky Dingo and Sealab shirts which is totally rad.

most of those are pretty s*** and comicy

the one i have is probably the best one i've seen
