I always get sick while looking at sites like turntablelab that sell screenprinted shirts for like 30 bucks...so I spent $10 for iron on transfers and customized some old shirts of mine. Anyone else ever get creative on their wardrobe?

dope! nice work man.

is that DJ Ayres playing piano on the right?

troubleman

gloom

TREW

that curtis jawn. oooweee

i've done this before but the iron on's make the shirt too thick, especially when the image is so large. do they make them thinner these days?

bthav

these are really nice.. i too delved in the iron ons but the sheets i bought were awful. especail if you were ironing white on white. you could see the iron on faintly.

howdyadoit?

Transfers are cool and you can print them straight off your injet printer then iron them on here are a few i did last week. Sorry for the dodgy pics

just do a search for iron on transfer paper on ebay or google. Print them out and iron them on. Some paers don't work well on dark t-shirts though.

hi C***y

My friend's uncle has an enourmous collection of beer labels (many raers), which he can scan and iron on to T-shirts. We've thought about putting some of these up on the 'bay, but I'm thinking they would shut us down pretty fast for copyright infringement or something.

Them shirts up there are dope -- definitely the way to go.

hi C***y

what's up Monty. I love that poster of the band. Also, I think it was cool how you treated the thread about how BEF sampled you. You're quality peoples and we are priviledged to have such a great example here at the strut.

These are fucking dope. They become addictive don't they, I keep looking around my room looking for things to iron on transfer to.

Damn! Nice! Do the images wear down much after washing and wearing a lot?

yeah the "dark color" iron ons are the illest, made by Avery you can probably scoop them at your local wal-mart.. print them out and your done

I had a cadet consept logo one and it lasted for over a year, and many washes and drys, I treated it just like every other shirt, actully it only starts to crack I thought it made it look even better..


trouble, how did you get that optigan with out a boarder???

Yep. I'd never mess with them again.

They won't last as long as screenprinted shirts, but it helps if you always wash'em inside out.

K...you've made some dope shirts too!

That optigan logo looks fantastic? Is that a record label? How did you do the transparency "effect", did you cut it ou?

Has anyone else experience with home made screenprinting stuff?

Slightly related, a recent shirt-find.

Well this has been in the works for a while now but just finally came to fruition. Friends of mine have a decal-making business and just got a heat press for doing clothing. The pressing material is very thin vinyl, just like records! They have an account with a t-shirt distributor where they get stuff from american apparel, gilden, etc. Tons of colors. Right now they only have red, black, and white vinyl for printing though, more colors to come. The quality of these shirts are .

The vinyl material is very thin and very sturdy, no peeling or cracking, and it holds up great to washing. It feels slightly rubbery but the finish is matte. They have a ploter/cutter/printer device hat very accuratly reproduces any vectorized image. I.E. Just scan your record label, "trace" (vectorize) image w/ illustrator, send to printer, put on heat press, blammo, pro shirts. Multiple colors can be done, it just takes more trip through the heat press. So,, this means all you strutters can have a t-shirt with any image for very reasonable prices. $18 per shirt, thats with them tracing your image from a high quality scan. You send scan, you get shirt. Get at me, I'll put you in contact with them.

Below is me with the first shirt on and the second ready to get the red heart in the TSOP logo on the heat press. The images on the shirt aren't pixelated or choppy, they look perfect and exactly like label scans.

That machine WILL flatten warped records too, we just have to "iron out" the details.

I would like to order a white tee with the
"MY DAD is coming" so hide the bad stuff image.

Whether it's a platefull of weed, an Al Franken paperback,
or an improperly repaired piece of furniture, I am still
hiding the bad stuff from the original Terry Clubbup,
so I would totally wear that t-shirt.
And if I was feeling random and meta, I would wear the
shirt when I went to visit his house.

I want to make some wild tees. Wild Screenz

Audrey, that Byrds one is most excellent. You should do some Saul Bass themed tees to go with Alfred. I will buy.

Cosmo, you shouldn't wear skirts (or capri pants). Those are for girls only.
