I have an order to fulfill for my brother’s plumbing/heating company.
I am making a logo for him to be silk-screened on some stuff, and embroidered on other stuff, by a third party. He wants me to handle all of the ordering of the stuff as well as the design. He needs the following:
T-shirts - 24 or more, screened (he specified Beefy Ts)
Hats - 12-24 or so, embroidered
Sweatshirts - At least 12 or so, embroidered OR silk screened
Actual Carhardtt jackets (or equal quality) - 12 or so, embroidered
All in all he wants to put about $1500 into it to outfit his guys AND as gifts to his clients, and to basically get as much quality stuff to spread around as he can.
Being as I’m an artist, only in the process of getting into clothes, I have some questions:
1. Is there a ONE company any one knows of who can do all of this at a good price?
2. Is embroidering DIRECTLY onto this stuff going to be prohibitively expensive, and would patches sewn on be a more realistic option?
3. Is there anything else I should be aware of?
BTW, the company is in CO, and I’m in MA, so shipping/not shipping could be a factor.
