Hey Loves Branding, ive always wanted to start something like this but im not sure where to begin making t-shirts. i know the epson f series are quite pricey , is there a cheaper way / what would you do as a beginer to start if you had to do it all over again. that would be a great video !
I started way back with a vinyl cutter doing vinyl decals. I then learned about heat transfer vinyl and was making simple 1/2 color shirts. With embroidery, you can get a reasonably cheap table top embroidery machine for $600-900 but there are limitations on size and can only do 1 thread color at a time. If you're wanting prints, it might be easiest to invest in a heat press for a few hundred $$ and then order full color transfers that you can press onto the shirts. Each method has its pros and cons but I would suggest watching a ton of videos and see what suits you best. Personally, if I were to start over (but had everything I learned) I would invest into a used 6 or 8-head embroidery machine. Its incredibly expensive but the profit is crazy, especially doing it out of your home. Alternatively, I would probably just go the heat transfer/heat press route. Its requires less experience and expertise but the margins are a bit smaller.
Appreciate the love! Unfortunately, this is likely my last video. I have started another business and the goal will be to post some long format content on there but the video styles are going to be different. Right now, we are mainly on Instagram @streetwearhouse_official if you want to check it out! We have a UA-cam but its just reposted content from IG
Worn and washed for over a year. I shot this video in January 2023. Probably have washed and dried it (high temp with the rest of my clothes) at least 20 times. It's super super faded now compared to when it was a newer dollar but is still holding on! I stopped wearing it recently though and am just keeping it for the novelty

Great Idea, have to try that I will put the dollar in different place or
It was a fun project and one of my top hoodies :) Lasted a year with regular washes. Its a lot more faded now than it used to be though unfortunately
Cool video! Enjoyed your project
