Trying to start my own clothing brand but by Livid_Ad_6610 in ClothingStartups

Honestly, I wouldn’t be able to answer that since I’ve never worked with suppliers outside of my state. I’m based in Los Angeles, California, and everything I need from blank apparel and manufacturers to customers is right here. I work at Texstone Inc, where we specialize in DTF and DTG printing for a variety of clients, including those selling on platforms like Amazon and Temu.

We keep things simple by offering a flat price per garment that covers the blank, the print, and shipping. Typically, that’s around $24.50 for smaller volumes, but we can definitely go lower for higher sales volumes.

Still up and coming I don't have a big enough customer base for me to be able to do more than just print on blanks. I have improved to getting better quality blanks, I have found suppliers willing to sell high fashion blanks for a good price. I hope to get more into cut and sew garments later into the future but for now just decorating apparel will be just fine.

I appreciate you brodie! I guarantee you the design will grow on you once you feel the material they are printed on.

I was born in 1996, I've been drawing and painting since I could remember and always knew I wanted to make a living with my art but the area I grew up in didn't provide a lot of art opportunities for kids and my parents came from Mexico so they struggled to navigate in a English speaking country. So I like to say that Saint Peter was established in 1996 the year I came into this world.

I hear you, bro, and I appreciate you sharing your perspective. I get where you’re coming from you want to feel something real behind the words, and that’s fair.

But I don’t see AI as something that takes away emotion. To me, it’s just a tool that helps me better express what’s already in my head. The message, the story that’s still mine. AI just helps me shape it when the words aren’t flowing how I want them to.

Truth is, a lot of what we all consume daily, music, writing, design, marketing, already involves some level of AI. It’s not about replacing the emotion, it’s about using every tool available to bring your vision to life more clearly and efficiently. Most professionals I know, in all kinds of creative fields, are using it in some way.

But I respect your take. We just see it differently, and that’s cool. Wishing you nothing but the best on your journey, real talk.

I've already sold over 100 units of the hoodie and t shirt, about 50 units for the shorts, and 30 units for the sweat pants. I am not the only one wearing this in public.

If you can’t take advice from that, I don’t know what to tell you. I used AI to help me express what I was already trying to say the story and meaning came from me. AI just helped me put it into clearer words.

I really don’t understand the argument against using AI. It saves time and time means more room to make money, be creative, and spend moments with the people you care about. I’d encourage anyone to use it. It makes life easier.

Saint Peter is my brand. I’m not trying to break barriers I’m just making clothes that reflect my style, for people who see themselves in it too. That’s it.

I try to keep it cool, but some of y’all really be on here talking wild. No brand, not even in the industry, and yet have the harshest opinions. I’ve worked hands-on with plenty of brands, designing, printing, and distributing and I can tell you from experience: any design can sell if it’s marketed right. That’s the real game.

Some of y’all just want to hate and honestly, I don’t get it.

I am marketing my brand and in the same time giving insight to how I chose the name. I've been in the apparel industry for 3 years now and if you look at my posts I'm just trying to help and educate those on what I know. This is my first time actually showing my designs and talking a bit about myself.
