| Re: t-shirt design fashion trends - where's it going? We've been getting a lot of request for full zip hoodies where the zippers goes all the way to the top of the hood.
Many designers are also requesting for All-Over-Print, however, this process can be quite expensive as it requires manufacturing a custom roll of fabric prior to the production of the shirt. Minimums for such is quite high as well. As an alternative, the Print-All-Over method is recommended to minimize the cost at a much lower minimum.
Then again.. the price trends for such t-shirts and sweatshirts have gone up quite a bit as well.

| Re: t-shirt design fashion trends - where's it going? Just had an idea.
"Ripped Shirts" A guy or girl and put it on to go out to the bar. If you see someone you like, there would be a pull cord, that when pulled, the shirt inflates like a raft, and makes you look...well...ripped and beefy. For women...you know...

| Re: t-shirt design fashion trends - where's it going? just a thought....but guys (or gals) with lots of arm tattoos, or full sleeve tattoos shouldnt wear those shirts. Some major clashing of artwork going on!! The first guy in the very first response looks like someone took a sharpy to him, and ran off onto his arms. | |

Good to see you | |  | |  | | as far as I know non.
I know everyone wants to have their own designs as all over printing type of thing. This is extremely expensive to do when putting out the same design.
I would say that the smaller brands, what they do is go to a Knitting Mill or a fabric roll wholesale/distributor, pick some cool patters they can live with, buy the fabric and cut and sew.
There are tons of fabrics and patterns available that most peeps have never seen, this can easily pass as a full out original all over print style. You can always add your logo or a few designs (screen print or transfers) to it to make and advertise it as your own. Nothing wrong with that.
This is by far a lot less expensive to do.
:::: I think Greg found another alternative: all over printing sources - screen printing print all-over the t-shirt with a belt screen printer
