Clarification of Question by madmindz-ga on 06 Feb 2005 11:19 PST

I am looking for a company solution to have
t-shirts manufactured for my "clothing line."

I dont need any generic types of Tshirt like hanes etc. I need the
inside tags to have my Copyrighted logo on it. Since its a brand I am
trying to start, I need the t shirt a specific cut and style.

          So to summarize, I need a company to completely create from scratch
t-shirts for my clothing line which have my logo on  it (on the inside
tags too) also any creative designs i come up with. I need a company
who does quality work and whom a lay person like me can deal with.

This should point you in the right direction. 

The first thing you'll want to do is to produce some samples of your
garments to see if they will sell. If you have a color ink-jet printer
and if you have created the designs on your computer (or can transfer
them to the computer), you can print them out onto special transfer
paper. You can then use an electric iron to transfer the design from
the transfer paper to blank T-shirts.

Fabric labels can be fully printed, fully woven, or a combination of
these processes to accommodate variable information and brand image.

Products are available in a wide choice of materials, sizes, finishes
and ink/yarn colours, to match other components.

Fabric labels can be sewn or heat-sealed onto fabric, which allows
constant access to the information you are portraying and the services
they provide.

For your more intimate items, Paxar SoSoft? labels are as gentle as
they sound and are 100% irritation free, which is ideal for lingerie,
baby wear and other delicates.

They also do the clothing tags.

For some in-style t-shirts. Check out americanapparelstore.com. They
also carry sweatshirts.

I'm also in the process of developing artwork for a line of  shirts.
Club/urban inspired.

Good luck
