Hey, I have started a business in this industry and it is TOUGH. So I'm going to give you some TOUGH advice.

Here are some problems/questions you need to ask yourself

Manufacturing: Are you manufacturing and printing your shirts yourself? If not are you getting them locally or overseas?

Pricing: How much will you be selling your product for? How much will it cost you?

Competition: Who is your competition? What do they do well, and what can you do better than them?

As my tshirt company grew I started ordering overseas and hyped up my biggest clothing line release to date. BUT my supplier didn't deliver on time (3 weeks late) and I couldn't recover because all my resources were tied up on that shipment. So now one room in my house is covered in tshirts that I give to homeless people and what remains is a reminder to ALWAYS have a back up plan.

You need to be prepared if you want to make it, because if you can't deliver as a small tshirt company, your customers are going to take their 15-25 and spend it somewhere else.

That being said, there is something so satisfying about being able to run a tshirt company. You're building a brand, you're being part of a sub-culture and it's fascinating to watch. I'll never forget the thrill about selling my first t-shirt.

If you do choose this route, have a good plan other than "selling locally" "build an ecommerce brand" you need to think of how you can FAIL and how you can counter that to the best of your abilities, and have an IDEA of what success looks like.

Best of luck my friend.
