Custom Spec/Bespoke Tee Shirts?

[MilSpex]

Anyone online that does this? Like cut to your own specified length and width just like bespoke shirt makers?

I searched around and it looks like i`m just gonna have to learn to do it myself..how much does an overlocker cost?

[MilSpex]

Or anyone on here willing to do stuff like this?

[plongin]

i'm not sure about online, but usually there are production houses in every country that do this. basically garmet manufacturers.

i'm sure japan definitely has a couple at least?

[MilSpex]

yeah but what would be the minimum order at a place like this? 100?

[plongin]

definitely far more than that. over here I remember you have to do 400 minimum

So you`re suggesting I get 400 made and sell 390? Okay. yeah, good idea.

But seriously you`re the only one to come up with anything so thanks.

look up dressmaker in the jap equivalent of the yellow pages - i imagine there is plenty and they would be happy to do a few tee's for you. otherwise a overlocker is about au$200 brand new for the cheapest option, although i would suggest you spend about $400 for something that will do a noticeably better job.

also, making t-shirts is alot harder than you would think... (to get quality and fit as good as bought ones)

The cotton can shrink wierd sometimes, even when it's preshrunk and washed etc. also details like ribbing around the collar etc are hard to get right...

then again, I'm not the bess clothes maker, and it cant be any harder than making a pair of jeans, (which heaps of people have done)

shirt markers should know of who to go to, if they cant themselves.

There's a lot more to a good t-shirt than just an overlocker and singlestitch machine, have a closer look at some of your shirts and look at the different types of stitching used etc.

As to any concrete tips, sorry Mil, can't help you...
