    Just check out this website. It sells t-shirts. Tell me what you think. And no, it's not my website, and no, I'm not being paid a commission. It's my cousin's tshirt company, and I just think it's awesome =] he's trying desperately to get it making a profit at the moment, but really struggling because he's not getting enough publicity and so on.

    http://www.truebelieverclothing.com/

    He's had his Dead Elvis shirt worn by a TV presenter and the lead singer of a band at an awards bash, so they're pretty damned cool. =] Thanks!

    They're cool, I could see them being real popular in a store like pac sun, or maybe urban outfitters

    Not really my style though
    I've tried to distance myself farrr away from fake vintage

    And the whole screen tee fad

    I like the drop beats not bombs shirt. That is pretty slick.

    Not exactly my taste in shirts, but is the guy wearing the shirts for sale? :grin:

    They're nice shirts. Not something I'm into or would wear, but I'm sure there are a lot out there who would say otherwise.

    The prices might be the reason why not many are selling.

    Check out the tshirts on http://www.threadless.com/

    They are equally well designed, yet are selling for less than a third of the price after conversion. People who buy tshirts online generally aren't going to pay as much as they would in store.

    Jay, I love you. :kiss::kiss::kiss::kiss::kiss:


    He can't actually make the prices any lower and cover his costs. He has two jobs at the moment. Threadless can because their mass production and batch orders allow for much lower overheads.

    Try this. Open a window to the main page of the website. Make it fullscreen. Then invite someone into the room, let them get fairly close, and ask them what the website is. Chances are, they won't be able to tell. It might be a band website, or a webdesign website.

    To me, this is a major problem.

    He's selling T-shirts, and there's no T-shirts on the main page. The MAIN graphic on the main webpage - taking up a huge section of the page - should be a visually-arresting person wearing the most kick-ass T-shirt he makes.

    [​IMG]

    Not necessarily a major hottie (of either gender), but somebody that makes people look. A guy wearing a blindfold. A woman wearing a motorcycle helmet. A guy in a gorilla suit, a fursuit, dressed as (yes) a robot. Something unusual like that.
