Does anybody know how or where you can get metal studded imprints for t-shirts? Im trying to find out how you can make that or where those kind of shirts can be made. Prime example is like marc ecko. Hes got designs with studded imprint on his shirts.

I've used the hotfix ones that you press onto garments, Ebay usually has quite a few differnt ones. Search for hotfix studs or nailheads.

Thay are just like using rhinestones/crystals.

Thanks! How do they look? have you found that it stays on the garment for a while?

They look just like metal studs and the test wash garment I have has been washed 40-50 times, with only one stud lifting on one edge, but it has not come off yet. I'll see If I have any pics to post.

They look like they are nailheads, do a search for hotfix nailheads and you will find them. They are very cheap and look great, available in many different colours and finishes.

A design like that would take a little time to do but would look great.

Thank you so much for the info. I will look into it.

No problem, glad I can help. If you only want to try a few get some off Ebay, you can get a small bag of 100 or so for a few pounds (dollars)
