T-shirt thoughts?

I am starting a t-shirt company, and have all the materials except the shirts right now. But I have a few questions for you guys so I can figure out what sizing to buy.
1) Tall tees vs regular tees. I will probably buy a few tall tees, but would you rather get a tall tee or a regular size shirt (something like size large).
2) Comfort. Do you think about how comfortable your shirt is when you wear it? Would you pay more for a polyester shirt that is thinner and feels better?
3) Colors? What are some of your favorite tshirt colors?
Anyways, that is all for now. +k to any responses
 
1. tall tee. cause i dont like how wide and short normal fitting shirts are.

2. Aslong as its not cheap fabric that will ruin after a few times through the wash... Thick or thin either is nice tbh. As its summer now though id say thinner.

3. Bright colours or white. its summer i dont want to be wearing black. And if your not thinking about summer. Then any colours tbh. I know a few people around this site are a fan of "earth" colours. while others like their shit brighttt.
 
New shirt companies or anyone working with screen printing is always fun! There are tons of designs and styles that you can bring from differnt walks of life, hip hop, to hippy they all get very creative.

Tall vs Reg, I think a mix of both is great way to go about it, there are some colors that you will not be able to get as Tall, where you can get almost anything for Regular fit.

Thin vs Thick. I've had both and I prefer the thicker tees, many times the thin ones will shrink differently, where they may get short and wide when shrunk, opposite of what any of us want.

Pick colors with graphics and colors you are going to print on the shirt. Not all colors are going to work with all graphics, and if you pick it correctly it's going to look that much better.

We've been doing CFS Tees for a while now and we've worked through a lot of different styles, colors and logos, it's a trial and error the whole way to figure out what you like best.

PM me I've got some ideas of types of Tees to use and we are always looking for a new company to make our Tees as well

-tall tees, i hate when a reqular shirt is too shot and fat.

-thin shirts shrink way too much, thick or get pre-shrunken shirts or whatever theyre called.

-bright colors are sick, but i also like white or black with bright colored graphics.
 
Thanks to all the responses... +k
I am actually heat pressing my tees as I have a vinyl cuter and heat colored vinyl. I have some nice and shiny colors including gold, electric blue, and electric orange. Then I have black and white.
I will have to get some tall tees, I am just going to have to find the best supplier now.
@ [CFS] I will definitely send a message your way.
 
tall ts for sure not fat

gat a variety of colors so everyone will be happy

get a good quality shirt(the more expensive the better) cuz cheaper ones shrink fast
 
Yea definitely. The more colors I get = less shirts I get, so what sort of size should I get? XXL? I'm not sure what most people would wear (in tall tee size)
 
You want to make a shirt that you like, not what you THINK other people like. If you size and design to specifications of others opinions, your going to always second guess yourself and not rep it. You want to make a shirt to your style and what you like, then when you wear it you REP it real hard. And to be truthful, my clothing company is repped by myself the most and that is always how it will be. Although others might like it, your the one on the front line making shit go down. ADV, MRKT, FINANCES ETC...make people believe your shirt is the best...F haters

be different!!! thats the biggest thing. newschoolers is a good market,

but it would be a huge mistake to let the members of this site direct

your brand. you have to be bold and stand for something, if you listen

to all the typical responses you'll find yourself with a generic brand

that looks like every other one here and follows trends. i feel like i cant answer these questions for you because these are the ones that define your image, and are the most

important ones you make as a a business, so dont let a thread define

you. if you decide you want to promote your brand around top quality, get thick shirts. if you want it affordable and available, go the wholesale cheap route. when i work on my powwow brand i try hardest to avoid the simple

'writing my brand name in cursive edwardian, and putting it on a shirt,

writing powwow in graffiti with bright colors, using skylines, and

other things that every single brand does.' its obviously ok to draw inspiration from certain trends but just be different.

something to think about, hope it helps!
 
this, also if u always follow other people u r never gonna develop your own style, a thing u need if u want to keep people buying your shirts every season
 
Thanks for the advice. I plan on making shirts that I will be sure to wear. I already have some of my designs in mind, and I will probably be asking for feedback from friends on them to make sure they are unique
