"Hey there man, I have a question, I just draw my designs by hand and color them in, is this sufficient for manufacturers and whoever is producing the garment? or is there a certain format or whatever that they need the design in?? Thanks in advance"

"Well as of right now, it seems designing graphics on blank tees is the easier, more cost-efficient way to go. However, my heart is in true designing, meaning I'd like to pick out the fabric and threads etc as opposed to just printing on shirts…"

  • HEY THANKS YOU CAN NEVER GO WRONG WITH CHRISTIAN CAN U? I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOME OF YOUR WORK
  • Ebun - to answer your question about where to find companies to help you produce. You can find clothing factories at Apparel Search.
  • Ebun - I saw your post that said the following.

    "aww man, I was definitely looking into garment dying, can you point me in a direction of where to get the inks and such from?? much appreciate the help man."

    Rather then buy dyes for dyeing or inks for printing, I would suggest you search for a service to do the dyeing or printing for you. I have never personally dyed fabrics or garments, but I know it is rather technical to achieve a proper mix to reach the proper colors etc. In addition, you need to be careful to make sure that the garments will wash well. You do not want to use the wrong process and then have the dye run when someone washes the clothes that you sell. My suggestion is to leave the dyeing and printing to professionals. Create the designs and have the pros produce the garments... Anyway, just my thoughts..
  • Hello again Ebun. I read your comment, and yes you have the same usual constraints that we all face in fashion apparel industry, however you seem to be on right track. One idea I could throw in is that since you are focused on prints and want to advance on utilizing all other aspects, the next step you could explore is to combine prints on blanks with some grment dye techniques. First it is a growing trend in high fashion, second the combinations out there are virtually limitless so you could create something when you play with different techniques of print and garment dye that no one has ever did so.

    As an example, curently there are print techniques (inks) that act as attractors or distractors to different dye stuff. For instance you could print a writing with a distractor agent, than pigment garment dye your shirt and you will have an effect that looks like you had an aplique on that shirt but after wearing and washing many times in years the aplique fell off and you have more intensified colors where the applique was. Or you could do vice versa... You can try waterbased prints over dyed with antique dyes, reactive dyes etc.. Until you achieve a beautiful effect...

  • Ebun - to answer the question you left for my on my profile page. You can find retailers in a few ways. One, you can check the clothing retailer directory at my other site. Also, companies sell books with buyer names and contact details. Actually, I have added a link to the books section at the main page of this site. If you go to the home page of the fashion industry network, you will see a link to fashion industry books below the search engine. From their I think you will find buyers guides. Hope this helps. If you wish to search the entire internet, try ApparelRetailer.com

  • Hello Ebun, what are you focused on with your designs, the style, fabric or graphics. If you let me know I can give you some tips. Because especially on design side, one of the most important obstacle is the producability of the garment for both technical and financial aspects.
