Nicking as in distressing a shirt?

A hand grinder with the various attachments is a good way for doing a limited number. If you are talking about a lot, there are blanks you can buy that are already distressed.

well i have a bunch of belt sanders, and im looking at about 10 000 units, necks, sleeves and bottoms. I can do it, but im looking for a way to increase productivity. If someone has any tricks or techniques of holding the garments, what grit to use etc ...? Or should i just cut them up with razor blades and wash them?

Thanks

Wash 10,000 shirts?

Any obstacles to buying the shirts already distressed?
