Maybe you went and saw my site where my Tees are $22
Well let me just tell you. I barely make enough to stay afloat. When you figure in cost of the shirt (even wholesale) plus cost of printing plus cost of the tag and advertising and the web host, meanwhile credit card companies take a cut for each sale using thier card, then you got the bank taking monthly fees for business account and another bank for the merchant account. I also live in NYC and I don't charge my customers shipping!
Christ dude, you have no idea. Maybe if I had 15 thousand shirts being made per run with cheap shirts from India... all being printed in a fullfillment house in Mexico, I could give you an "Old Navy" deal. But it so happens that I do runs of like 2 dozen every few months, use high quality sweatshop free shirts... and I do it because I love it. I'm working fulltime at a design firm and doing this on the side.
Ask around, no designer is raking in mad cash from making shirts. Give me a break and support the community.
