Tips for Creating and Caring for Custom Black T-Shirts

Leave a reply

Once upon a time T-shirts mostly came in one color–white. Not anymore. Brown, red, navy blue–they’re all mainstream choices today. White is still the first choice for a lot of T-shirt wearers, but black is a fast-becoming a close second.

Why? Black T-shirts are a change from the usual choice, hide stains better, matches just about everything in your closet, and are hugely forgiving if your figure is less than flawless. Some people prefer to stock up on black T-shirts just to simplify their lives. A closet full of one color of clothes means a lot less time fretting about what to wear.

Black T-shirts are also timeless. From the 1950’s to today, black T-shirts are still considered fashionable. Some fashion experts even go so far as to classify them as a “wardrobe staple.”

Plus, “black” could mean all sorts of shades, ranging from the darkest of jet, slate and onyx to lighter colors with names such as “outer space” “dark night” and “rainstorm.”

While black is a good choice for men, since it can be dressed up or down, women have more style options. Ladies T-shirts are offered in scoop neck, V-neck, ballet neck, square neck, sweetheart neck–the list goes on.

Then there are the different fabrics. A couture-level, black, long-sleeved T-shirt could set you back $88 bucks, whereas the same cut and color of shirt costs a measly $15 at the mall. The difference? The designer T-shirt is made from 100% silk, while the mall-bought shirt is made from a cotton/polyester blend. One will look and fit better than the other, but, you get what you pay for, right?

Drawers full of stacks of black T-shirts might be fine for some people, such as Angelina Jolie (who seems like she hasn’t worn a color in two years), but others of us could use a little color to break up the monotony.

Black is the best background to make vibrant colors pop and slogans stick out. The color is also an effective canvas to showcase studs, rhinestones and other faux gems.

The downside to owning and wearing black custom T-shirts is they are prone to fading. And when they do, it’s noticeable.

Here are some tips to keep your black T-shirt black.

* Always wash them in cold water
* Add a little bit of white vinegar the water/detergent mix when you launder it the first time
* Use color-safe detergent
* If you have hard water, add water softener to the mix
* Buy tailor-made products–Woolite has a product specifically for black clothes, for example.
* Don’t dry your T-shirt in the dryer. Instead, hang it outside to dry, but NOT in direct sunlight.
* Be sure to turn your T-shirt inside out before adding it to the wash. (This is a good tip for all of your clothes, actually.)
* To freshen the color, buy black dye tablets and add one during the wash cycle

Custom black T-shirts are a must for any wardrobe. They’re easy to find, comfortable to wear, and can be dressed up or down, winter or summer. Plus, they last a long time–that is, when you take the time to launder them correctly.

Fencing T-Shirts Can Intimidate Others – En Guarde!

Leave a reply

Fencers are an interesting group. They get dressed up all in white, wear masks, and then go at each other with their swords. Extremely athletic, they have catlike reflexes and can turn on a dime. You may know someone who is a fencer; you may even be sitting next to one right now. They can be young or old, male or female, of any race or ethnicity. The point is, they’re among us.

How can you tell? Well, aside from thrusting at everyone you pass with a sharp, pointy object to see who can block you, you can’t. Unless, of course, they’re wearing a fencing t-shirt. But we can’t go around requiring fencers to wear special t-shirts to identify themselves, can we? No, probably not, but for the fencer in your life, a custom designed fencing tee is a great gift idea!

This is a sport that has obviously been around for centuries; but it is now gaining popularity among the most unlikely of groups –teenage girls. Yep, they’re picking up their epees, and learning to fight.

For anyone who’s ever had even a small amount of interest in say, pirates, learning to fence is a great way to imitate them. Sci fi enthusiasts might also benefit from fencing lessons, the better to imitate Jedi warriors; and wearing a fencing tee on top of all of that will let the world know that you are prepared for anything and everything.

Some high schools even have fencing teams, and fencing has become an Olympic sport. If you’re a fan, wearing a fencing tee to any exhibition or competition is sure to show everyone present the depth of your support. It will let even the most casual bystander know that you at least know someone else who’s good with a sword, and that you just might be the one with the skills. Chances are, they’ll ask, and that’s a spectacular way to share your excitement for this noble pastime.

Coaches or parents of fencing teams can get matching, custom designed tees for the whole team; this will give the team a feeling of unity and team spirit, which is always important.

I suppose that wearing a fencing tee could give you some measure of security, as well. If a thug is considering you as a mark, wearing a fencing tee that communicates that you know how to handle a weapon may discourage them. I’m not suggesting, of course, that everyone wear one for “protection”. I’m simply suggesting that, should the thug in question take the time to look at your clothing, knowing you are good with a sword may encourage him to move on to easier prey.

Fencing tees come in all styles; from witty sayings to quotes to graphics of fencers, the choices are practically endless. They come in a multitude of styles, colors and fonts (for those with writing) and there are sure to be more than one style that suits you!

Bowl a 300 with Custom Team T-shirts

Leave a reply

Bowling is a hobby, sport, and lifestyle for many. Bowling alleys have impressive league sizes with teams of bowlers competing against other teams, and their own high scores. Bowling is so widely popular that there are movies and cartoons dedicated to the sport including the famous Fred Flintstone and King Pin.

As a bowler, you can show your pride outside the bowling alley by wear a custom designed t-shirt. Shirts can be a simplistic design with a simple saying “I bowl” or “Strike!” If you like graphics, you can add a cute graphic of a stick figure bowling or a bowling ball knocking over pins. You can have a shirt that says something about bowling a 300 if you have achieved that feat or are striving to.

If you aren’t a fan of splits, you can have a shirt showing your dislike. Shirts can have two pins with an angry looking bowling ball saying, “Splits make me mad” or something cuter with “split personality”. Shirts can even be designed for gutter balls. “Stay out of the gutter” can mean more than just bowling, so you have more than just a bowling phrase.

If you have a bowling team, consider creating a team t-shirt. Custom bowling t-shirts can reflect the personality of your team. If you enjoy drinking, consider something about bowling for beer or your drinking friends have a bowling problem. “We bowl for the shoes” is a great shirt for women teams since men think all women like are shoes anyway! Simply stating, “bowling diva” can be just as effective. Team shirts are a blast to design and show your pride for your team.

For bowlers with kids, there are great shirts that your kids can wear to show what their dad or mom like to do. “Little bowling buddy” or “future bowler” are just some of the cute phrases that can be printed onto kid’s size shirts or baby onesies. Of course the “my daddy bowls better than your daddy” is also an idea for the little one’s shirts.

If you have a loved one that bowls, you can design a custom bowling t-shirt to show your support and love for them. If your spouse bowls you can say that you like the way he rolls or that real men wear bowling shoes. Parents of bowlers can wear shirts that let those around them know how proud they are of their child.

Creating custom bowling shirts takes a little bit of imagination and creativity. Why not show your pride for your sport? Learning to bowl a perfect game takes time and skill, so show yours off. You can choose from many colors of shirts with lots of different sayings, graphics, and styles. Instead of simply wearing your regular bowling shirt only when you bowl, you can have t-shirts to wear any other day. So expand your wardrobe by creating custom bowling t-shirts that fit your personality and love of the sport. Then everyone will know you are a bowler.

An Example of Eco-Fashion and Idea For Recycling T-Shirts

Leave a reply

Eco-Fashion

The Green T Reuse Design Contest was put on by Sew Green who is a non-profit organization in Ithaca who encourages sustainability in fabric, fiber and fashion. There were more than 100 entries in 15 categories by 60 designers from ages under 12 to over 70 and from beginners to professionals. One of the reasons SewGreen believes in this project of reuse and recycling of cotton t-shirts is because of how damaging and intensive it is to grow conventional cotton. Cotton actually uses 25% of the world’s pesticides and herbicides but only takes up 2.4% of the usable farmland. Consumers also tend to frequently dispose of clothes, in fact over 70 pounds of clothing are given awan and 80 percent of those end up in landfills. As of now only about 3 percent of cotton is grown with organic farming methods.

The winners were an eco-fashion team called “the Realitee for Humanitee: Sustainabilitee” from Cornell’s office of Publications and Marketing. They created a series of outfits from over 100 different t-shirts. The items created included a reversible cape, a hat that becomes a drawstring purse, a belt, a dog coat and designer leash. The winning designs will be featured in a gallery in the Communtiy School of Music and Arts from April 4-14 and in a Fashion show on April 27th.

Show Cue Spirit – Create a Billiards T-Shirt

Leave a reply

Playing pool is not just an enjoyable evening out on a Friday night after work. Billiard halls are often filled with groups of people surrounding a table, laughing, drinking, and playing pool. Billiards is a great sport that is often overlooked as a mere hobby. True billiard players take great pride in their sport, and can spend a great amount of time and money practicing and competing against others.

If you really love playing pool, you might want to share it with those around you. One fantastic way to show the world your love of the sport is by wearing a shirt designed by you. Custom billiard t-shirts are a blast to create. Some simple designs include just the normal “I love Billiards” or a simple “Rack ‘Em”.

For male players popular designs are often play on words. “Nice Rack” is one of the most used slogans as is “It takes a lot of balls to play pool the way I do.” Female players can just take pride in that they are women playing pool with “Girls play too” or tell everyone “Stop staring at my rack.” While these shirts may work without graphics, the designs can help others to really understand what you are trying to say. Make a custom billiard t-shirt unique by using colors and graphics to enhance a common pool saying.

Pool sharks don’t usually go around advertising, but that doesn’t mean you can’t create a shirt indicating you are indeed a pool shark. You can even wear a shirt that says you are a hustler, even if you really aren’t, no one will question you. Whether the graphic on your shirt is a shark or you just skip the graphic and simply identify yourself as a hustler, have fun with the design. If you plan on hustling someone though, make sure you wear a different shirt or they just won’t take you seriously.

Oftentimes pool players visit the same pool hall for most of their games. Shirts can be designed with the name of the billiards hall. The shirt can include things such as the city it is in, or what makes that particular hall special. Maybe you love that particular place because the tables seem well kept or you like the color of the felt. Or maybe you just like the other regular players. All of these things can be used for your custom t-shirt.

Family members of a billiards player can show their pride for favorite pool player with custom t-shirts. Spouses of the player can wear shirts similar to athletic equipment shirts with “Property of Hustler” or “Property of Pool Player”. Parents can design shirts that just say that they are a billiards parent. Even the kids can get involved with the sport with shirts designed to say things about being a future player or the child of a player. For a more personalized shirt, family members can include the name of their favorite player as well.

Have fun creating a billiards t-shirt. Whether the shirt is for yourself or a loved one, you can capture the essence of the sport and the player by customizing a shirt with various graphics and sayings.

Custom T-Shirts Can Boost Your Fundraising Efforts

Leave a reply

Do you have an event or a cause that you need to raise money for? Need an extra boost to get people to stop and listen and consider donating money? Fundraising can be hard to do. People are usually not too excited about giving their money away. Sometimes it is because they just cannot afford it. But many other times, it is because they don’t know for sure where their donation will go. Based on a first impression, they might not trust the person asking them for money. Or, they might just not believe in the cause.

What can you do, as a fundraiser, to change people’s minds and get them to contribute to your cause?

One great way to advertise your cause and fundraise in a friendly, clever, and informative way, is to design your own custom t-shirts. In this way, you can draw people in with a creative logo, image, or slogan on the front of the t-shirt. You can then inform them about your cause, either with information on the front of your t-shirt, on the back of your t-shirt, or by following up with a dialogue of your own. They will already have been introduced to the topic by your t-shirt, so chances are they will feel more comfortable about hearing what you have to say. They already know you are serious, because you have already spent time and money making your t-shirt.

Another way to use t-shirts to help fundraise is by actually selling t-shirts in order to raise money. For example, if you are in a play, and the theatre company that is producing the play needs money in order to fund the production, a great way to raise money is to design custom t-shirts advertising the play or the theatre company, and selling them to interested people in the community. You can advertise the play by featuring it on the t-shirt, and wear the t-shirts yourselves as a company in order to draw people in. Then, you can sell the t-shirts at local events, at the actual show, and on your website, if you have one. This is a great way to raise money because it is not asking for very large donations. You could sell t-shirts for very small amounts of money, especially if you are able to get a good deal on buying in bulk from the t-shirt designers.

This way, people don’t have to commit to much in order to support you. Asking for a small amount of money broaden your support base—all of your friends can come pay a small amount for a cool t-shirt that will help your play get up on stage. Meanwhile, when anyone who buys your shirts wears them out on the street, they will provide free advertisement for your show. So be sure to put all of the relevant information about your show—or whatever your cause is—on the t-shirts. This way, you can get two good deals for the price of one.

Get Crafty with Custom T-Shirts

Leave a reply

What you wear speaks volumes about who you are and what better way to express yourself than with a shirt you yourself designed. No need to get it professionally printed, a hand-made shirt is the perfect way to show off your artistic talents to the world!

The traditional t-shirt crafting mediums–painting and iron-ons-will never go out of style. But recently, new and exciting methods of transforming t-shirts have taken the crafting world by storm. T-shirt crafts aren’t just for the little ones anymore. Crafters of all ages are discovering the joys of wearable art!

The first thing to remember when crafting a t-shirt is your personality. How you express yourself is up to you, just be sure to choose the medium, style and canvas that is right for your personality. The tried-and-true techniques of painting and iron-on transfers are good, dependable decorating techniques. Both require only basic skills–and no pattern reading!–and can be mastered with minimal practice. A steady hand and the ability to follow directions are all you need.

Painting is one of the most traditional methods of garment decoration. Perfect for children and adults alike, painting allows the artist to express him or herself on the most basic level without worrying about complicated or expensive methods. Fabric paints can be purchased at your local craft store and are available in all colors and types. Glitter, puffy, pastel, and even glow-in-the-dark can all be found fairly easily. Pick up a few brushes and you’re ready to paint!

Iron-on transfers are also an easy and fun way to decorate clothing. Pre-made transfer materials can be purchased at your local craft store. Pre-made transfers come in designs ranging from holiday themes to children’s characters. Additionally, transfer paper can be purchased from most office supply stores that can then be used to print transfer designs right off your computer! Personalized text, images, and even photographs can all be printed onto iron-on transfer paper. If you’re new to this method of decorating, be sure to read the directions on the transfer package.

While painting and transfers are both exciting ways to express yourself through t-shirt crafting, it must not b forgotten that the t-shirt itself can be a valuable tool. Painting and decorating change the surface of the shirt, but why not change the shirt itself? In the past few years, t-shirt decorating has become quite popular in an unexpected age-group. Young adults all over the country have begun using their creativity to re-design shirts by altering the shape of the garment itself. Paints and transfers are no longer required to make your shirt as unique as you are! The sleeve length, neck shape, and fit of a shirt all can easily be altered by simply cutting the material. A stodgy old crew-neck can become a trendy v-neck in a matter of seconds and an oversized shirt takes only a few minutes to be cut and tied to fit the shape of its owner. The special knit of the garment keeps the t-shirt from fraying, even after washing.

How It’s Done: Embroidered T-Shirts

Leave a reply

Choosing the right design for a custom t-shirt can be tricky, especially in the office. It may seem impossible to choose a design that both the CEO and your co-workers will approve of but the answer is simple: embroidery.

Embroidery takes the idea of a custom t-shirt to the next level. One step beyond the age-old tradition of silk-screening, embroidery still allows the customer to choose his or her own design but the result is a much cleaner and up-scale product.

The embroidery process may seem simple to the average customer, but if you choose to design your own shirt, you will soon realize that this procedure is a bit more complicated. Embroidery is commonly seen as a three step process: artwork, conversion and production.

The artwork stage is where the image for the t-shirt is created. The customer presents his or her desired image to the artist creating the shirts and he or she works with the client to create a final design for the shirts. Some original designs may need to be slightly altered in size or style to fulfill the needs of both the client and the t-shirt artist.

Once the design has been finalized, the conversion stage of the embroidery process begins. Conversion is a complicated process that requires the two-dimensional image to be converted into a three-dimensional, thread-based design. Nowadays, most custom t-shirt companies go about this digitally, using specific computer programs to convert the paper image into a digital file that programs the sewing machine directly. The stitch type, size, and color are all recorded digitally. Once the new, three-dimensional design is programmed into the machine, the final stage of the process can begin: production.

Production may seem like the easiest stage of the process but, in truth, it can be extremely complicated for the machine operator. While the image was digitized during the “conversion” step, the operator still needs to program the machine with the correct sewing speed and sequence of stitches. The operator then loads the appropriate colors and amount of thread needed for the design. Finally, each t-shirt is individually loaded onto the machine, embroidered, and removed.

Although the production phase of the embroidery process is commonly seen as the last step, it is always necessary to examine each garment for quality and consistency. Loose threads and excess backing material must be trimmed and the inspector looks for uniformity in each design. Once the t-shirts have passed this quality inspection, they are ready to be packaged for delivery or pick-up by the client.

The entire embroidery process can seem a bit daunting at first but a polished, professional product is well-worth the effort. An expert, classic embroidered t-shirt is the perfect solution for corporate garments, professional uniforms or any other situation that requires a more refined appearance.

Do Too Many T-Shirt Shops Cheapen Tourist Areas Such as New Orleans?

Leave a reply

The French Quarter in New Orleans is threatening to enforce older ordinances that limit the number of t-shirt shops in the city. Shop owners are frustrated with the city trying to limit their businesses rather than letting the market decide what should be sold.

One city councilman believes there are too many shops and that t-shirt shops cheapen the atmosphere. Interviews with tourists suggest that they think the t-shirt shops just make it look like New Orleans. Under the current regulations there can be no more than two t-shirt shops within 600 feet of each other. The city will start enforcing the limitations and tighten up the permitting process.

People definitely notice when celebrities wear t-shirts with slogans. If you are a t-shirt company getting a celebrity to wear your t-shirt would really put your company on the map. But sometimes celebrities just wear really random t-shirts. Mischa Barton was recently spotted wearing a random t-shirt with an image of a dog wearing a hat that says “Hawk Hounds” with the phrase “Let’s go bite some butts” below. I am not sure if that is a dog catcher company t-shirt or just a random joke t-shirt but it is kind of funny.

Get Dressed and Save the Earth

Leave a reply

Earth Day is a very important day, especially these days. The Earth is in trouble, and a lot of people are putting in a lot of time and effort to give something back. For some this means changing their habits by recycling or eating organic foods or using less electricity. For others it means volunteering outdoors, planting a tree each year, or writing poetry in reflection of the beauty of the Earth. Some who can afford it donate money to organizations trying to take care of the Earth.

But other people—too many people, probably—let Earth Day slip by without thinking about it at all. They might see a headline here or there that reminds them of the special day. But they are too busy or stressed out or distracted with other daily worries to take time out to help make the Earth a safe, healthy place for the coming generations. It takes a lot of effort to stop and decide to change your habits, or even to take a day to reflect and commit something small to a cause like saving the Earth.

Are you wondering how you can participate in Earth Day? Do you want to call people’s attention to the importance of the day but aren’t sure how to do it? Well, how about making a special Earth Day t-shirt? You could make one just for yourself, to wear while you volunteer or go to work or school. On the front you could have an image that reminds you of the beauty of the Earth—of what you are trying to save. On the back you could have some text that will help people think about the Earth and tell them how they can figure out a way to help. Perhaps you could provide a link or a phone number to nearby volunteer opportunities, or information sites where people can go to find out what is happening to the Earth, and to learn how their lifestyles can help or hurt it.

You could also always make t-shirts for a lot of people to wear. You could make t-shirts for your whole class or for your office. If people receive a free t-shirt designed by their friend in honor of Earth Day, they are not likely to forget what day it is. Then they will have the t-shirt and the information you put on it to keep, and they can perhaps start an Earth Day tradition of their own with their families or roommates.

Making Earth Day t-shirts is a way to spread knowledge about Earth Day and its issues without making people feel guilty or pressured. It’s more of a way to create more enthusiasm for the day and for every other day in which helping the Earth is an important part of life. If the message on your t-shirts is a positive one, you can help get people excited, which will make them more likely to go off on their own next time and contribute. Good luck, and happy Earth Day!

Get Engaged and Show the World with a T-Shirt

Leave a reply

Being engaged is often one of the happiest times in a person’s life. You have found some one that you dearly love, someone that complements you better than any one else in the world. And to top it all off, that person feels the same way about you. You decide that you have reached the point in your relationship when it’s only natural that you should head to the chapel. Once you’ve picked the date, a whirlwind of events ensues.

One of the things that characterizes the engagement period quite a bit is the process of planning the wedding. In fact, most people equate wedding planning and engagement in their minds. This is probably due to the fact that the moment the bride slips that ring on her finger, she begins imagining her perfect day. The perfect church or garden to host the big event is usually first on the menu. Choosing a design for the cake and a great baker to do the job follows shortly thereafter. Deciding what colors and flowers she likes can be a perplexing ordeal. Oh, and let’s not forget the dress. The search for the perfect dress is no small task in the wedding planning process.

With all of this decision making and logistical planning, the bride is likely to get a little drained and overwhelmed before too long. Creating her dream wedding is exciting. For many brides, however, planning a wedding can be a full time job! You don’t often see the groom fretting over his dream tux. Finding the perfect tux is usually a one stop shopping experience for the groom and his wedding party. Grooms that aren’t feeling the heat during their upcoming nuptials due to all the planning need to show their brides-to-be how much they appreciate all their hard work.

If you’re approaching your wedding day, you’ve probably bought your bride-to-be more than one gift. We know at least one of those gifts involved a very special piece of jewelry. But this “thanks for planning our wedding” gift needs to be a one of a kind. Show her you care with an originally designed t-shirt just for her. A shirt can communicate whatever you feel to your fiancée. This is an opportunity to her how you feel about her in a way that she can wear over and over again. There is no doubt that she’ll be impressed by your thoughtfulness and originality.

Now if you really want to give her a gift, have one made for yourself as well. Maybe choose a phrase to print on your original shirt that tells her how excited you are to be her husband and that she’s your one and only. What bride wouldn’t love a shirt that says “I love my wife” in her husband’s closet. Wear your love and devotion on your very sleeve, literally. Diamonds are a girls best friend, but a uniquely printed shirt designed by her new hubby will put a lasting smile on your bride-to-be’s face.
