Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and have done my introduction.
I have a Clothing line soon to come out, Just like many of the great ones i've seen from this forum.
I noticed there is a great deal of t-shirt/wholesale/everything guru's here with a lot of advice to give, and I commend them for it....
And want to start off by saying thanks for taking the time out of your lives to make things a little easier for us just trying to start up!!!!
I have my marketing schemes ready to be deployed when all the paper work is done, and some fashion show venues i will be throwing at the local clubs in hollywood, so im sure some of the california guys might be there since its going to be a grand opening of a club and my line....
I am mainly relying on t-shirts, at the moment. My father has been in the wholesale business/printing for quite some time over 15 years... yet i never learned or took anything away from him. He works with a couple factories in bangladesh with a partner/ceo of a company called saasco group, i believe they make the shirts raw, and don't have a site like american apparel or guildan.
he has replicated the ed hardy quality and such, but ask for specs for dress shirts... and i wanted to know what they were for personal reasons, since he cannot be contacted at the moment till next week. i figured instead of him replicated a shirt i buy from express i can maybe give him the schematics of it....
does that sound like a reasonable question???
once he gets backs I now know there is more to a shirt than what meets the eye, and i would like to learn from as many perspectives as i possibly can...
Thanks...
any feedback would be appreciated...
thanks in advance...

Your best bet would be to buy one and see for yourself - though making exact duplicates would probably violate whatever patents they have on the design.

It's actually very difficult to get a patent on a clothing pattern. It needs to actually be innovative and new - a dress shirt isn't going to have a patent.
In general intellectual property protection over patterns is poor. The patterns themselves are copyrighted, but there's only so much that can be done about reverse engineered copies, etc.
