Usually 300 is fine, but depends on your design, but I am sure others will give other feedback, but I am sure 300 is optimal, 200 res is probably okay, but to capture detail you would want 300 res..

Hope that helps

bigger the better....but...

(I know people will disagree with me) but the highest res it will actually print at is about 100 on the shirt anyways....silk screening is a low low res world, even using a 305 mesh the printing method is low tech....so pretty much file size is always overkill.

but it's always easier to work big, incase you need it larger for something else.
