If vinyl is applied correctly it will last as long as the garmnet. I use hotmark 70 vinyl and it seems to hold up great. ....JB

Many major brands mix all types of print methods on their t-shirts to get the desired effect they want.

So it's possible that a design or two from a particular line has some vinyl on it.

You can see pictures of vinyl here: http://www.t-shirtforums.com/tags/vinyl-pics/

Hi Alex, just to give you a specific company that uses vinyl in their t-shirt line:

I was in Louisiana this weekend and I went into an urban clothing store. There's a company called R.World (rworldusa.com) and they had a couple of t-shirts there that were done using 100% vinyl. I think it was a 2 or 3 color design.
