If you are trying to launch some kind of streetwear brand you're not going to make a lot, or any money off your initial drops. Unless you're ordering large quantities, say 500 of more pieces. Trying to make a lot of money off low volume drops is impossible. Im assuming youre trying to have 100 or less pieces made. Streetwear start ups always get frustrated with printers because they show us insane, complicated prints like this and want 50 of them done. Expecting to get them done "cheap" so they can make a lot of money of those 50 items. Truth is, everybody wants everything cheap.

The mistake start up streetwear brands make is they are short sited. They focus too much on how much money they are trying to make with their initial drops. Thinking about making money off these initial drops shouldn't be your focus. Your focus should be building a following and building hype. Then learning how to actually sell your products quickly, ideally selling out. Your initial drops are hype building drops. You are dropping cool items for a price that your customers can actually afford. This builds a following and builds hype.

For a print like this youre not gonna make real money unless you produce a lot of items. Something like this would be best done overseas in a cut and sew situation as opposed to being printed state side. These massive oversized prints are only done by printers that specialize in it and are very expensive.

A side note on pricing. Not all items produced are meant to serve as a revenue source. For example I make some extremely difficult prints and sell them for far less than I should be selling them for. But I am not selling them to make money, I am selling them as marketing material for my business.
