What about for like a streetwear brand. What shirt brand(s) do you recommend?

[@FreedomOverFame]

@@MagnetikCult Alstyle 1701 in my personal opinion feels, fits and looks alot like the brand Sullen. That and their 1301 feel alot like generic skate brand tees. The 1701 is a little longer and sliiightly more form fit.

[@MagnetikCult]

@@FreedomOverFame Thanks for the advice...I will order a sample of each to test it out.

[@BigBrandoh]

this is the funniest break down i've ever seen but pretty accurate hahahagagaa im a Fat Dad and Thug on the weekends hahahahaaaaa.

[@lairekarice3556]

Thanks for the info

[@waynea5263]

Love you man! The transparency on everything you talk on and the honesty is so pure. You are offering a real service and you don't have to. So, thank you my friend, keep being you.

[@richiepyke1380]

Always stating pros and cons of everything. Much respect for that. Research goes a long way.

[@BigBrandoh]

thanks for watchin!!!

[@foongbooey]

Just found your channel whilst looking for advice on embroidery and sourcing blanks. Thank you for the value you bring - no nonsense, practical and real ready to apply advice.

[@isekreme]

Thank you for this video. I just started selling shirts last year. I just had this conversation with a customer, that I was going to switch to a "better quality" type of shirt this year and he told me that he likes the quality of his shirt just fine- Gildean. And the gem you dropped about getting tshirts that I can get locally if I mess up- yes!

[@shubonnagriggs2918]

Thank you so much for keeping it real. I love the information that you give. It is very helpful.

[@darrylphillips4978]

The way you talk about this content is pretty effective. You give great advice and teach without it feeling like you're teaching or like I'm in school. It feels more like a conversation. It holds my attention better and presents the information in an easy way.

[@creationsbyashanti]

You always dropping nuggets that help with my shop. Thank you

I didnt even considered getting shirt that I can get if I messed up. That's way better advice then what blanks to pick up and it helps me make a better informed decision. Thanks for the vid

[@Rochellemarieschwab]

This was a great video with lots of useful information. Thanks again for all the info you share.

[@lucindadelacruz7687]

That is so true. I had a bella canvas shirt and a heavy cotton gildan, my client chose the gildan because of the winter. He said because of the winter the gildan shirt looks warmer.

[@maarcwainwright7030]

Thanks for the tshirt tip about different styles really helpful

[@ThisisZZTV]

Big Brandoh, I appreciate this info. I’m getting ready to order some blanks

[@XxLeo05xX]

I love the story or the message that you put into a story. The logistics of it being actual is outweighed by the message its self. I like the message that you put together here.

[@julianharris9944]

Thank you so much! I’m in the beginning stage of my brand. I have some designs, I have equipment, and i even have a solid vision, but you gave me some gems. Now I know I need to ask myself some more questions before i spend any more money. I was just about to go “high quality” route, and you really helped me observe the limits of my own perception.

[@ArtOfTheWeld]

Real. Straight up. 👏🏼

[@markitzero]

what's good Brandoh! Just watched about 50 of your videos to get caught up on all game you've been teaching. I'm curious about your experience with placing designs in unorthodox places (wrist, collar, ribcage, etc.) Is the process/results the same or are there issues with this? Using plastisol transfers. Thanks for the help mane!

[@iamRandolphWilliams]

Practical game! Thanks

[@pauletteb.9652]

Valuable content. Thank you.

[@joeltnguyen]

Agreed!! I've always worn 5 for 10 shirts (Triple AAA, etc) and then after high school I was wearing softer tees that you could get at UNIQLO, hm, etc. In my eyes the softer tees were high quality because of my experience of wearing AAA, etc. So when I started looking for shirts I wanted them to be soft/light and that's what I ran with. The people that ordered the first run of shirts loved the soft shirts, however, my friends who still wore AAA and proclub didn't. They liked the designs but not the shirts. You can't really please everyone but I say just run with what YOU like. Thanks Brandoh for the knowledge man

[@BigBrandoh]

thanks for sharing!!! i know that feeling all too well!!! 💯👊🏾💯 thanks for watchin i really appreciate it

[@BigBrandoh]

i appreciate that!!! thanks for the continued support

[@THATSINCREDIBLE112]

Love what you stated about considering the convenience of being able to get the T-shirt at anytime without waiting on an order. Thats exactly why I choose PRO-CLUB. I'm also from the L.A area. Quick question, is there anywhere this way that I can buy Pro-Clubs for the low? Like under the $6-$7 price tag or in bulk? Please let me know. Thanks

[@aureliankhan6784]

This may be a little late, but this video helped me a lot with my own brand...Much appreciated, Bro Brandoh

[@feleshia6575]

[@basilhorace]

Lovely advice.

[@vanservice54]

Great explanation 🙏

[@madlifts1]

hell yea man, my brand is towards the gym ppl and thats what i was looking for in the shirt i wanted. a soft light feel, ordered a few samples and found the one i liked and stuck to it. no complains so far, the only thing there asking is for different colors.

[@Babybacktillery]

Which 1 is it? Im lookin for fitted sleeves

[@KittyJ30]

This was the most informative advice! I bought a small batch of different brands and weight to experiment with.

[@BigBrandoh]

thanks for watchin. good move with testing out shirts. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@socalramsfan452]

LEGIT JUST STARTED 3 DAYS AGO didn't even think about it was surfing offerUp and seen a press on there dude wanted 220$ got him down to 150$ its one of those 5 n 1 type cheap AF found a cricut2 and have been at it nonstop since then trying to perfect it and it's difficult a new found respect for the ones that been doing this for the Long time. But I came across your channel like day 2 and Bro you are The Goto! Channel for LA Tshirt advice love your videos respect your hustle have been tuned in watching every video since I started! I'm gonna stay focused and smash some goals I have set in place and get My brand rolling! Much love Bro Bro [Rob from pomona]

[@BigBrandoh]

thats right!!! get that money homie! check Printer Supply Warehouse in Long Beach for vinyl and supplies and also Mclogan in Downtown LA for vinyl and supplies.

[@alexfrancis9418]

This vid came at the right time, I’m split between a company that has a side seam and a another that is tubular construction. I’m testing these out now to see which one I want to go with & what my audience will like. After 4 years now of following you I’m still learning, Thank BB 🤘🏼⚡️⚡️🤘🏼

[@BigBrandoh]

yoooo Alex! Get that money! very good point about side seam and tubular. not alot pay attention to that. let me know what you decide to go with. 💯👊🏾💯

[@deucesleeves4810]

Great video and info

[@JamaicanVillan]

So true, some people also equate thickness, with quality, over softness. Not that it's necessarily true, but people just have different perceptions and requirements.

[@jacquelinesown6675]

Thanks great info

[@clubberlang7464]

Respect, right-on for the inside game bro✊🏿

[@BigBrandoh]

thanks for watchin

[@itsnottoolate4199]

Yup. Its all depends our customers. I bought a few dozens of next level and come to find out that some people don’t like soft cotton instead they like the gildan platinum from michaels. The good thing is its only a few miles from me. its all depends on how they feel

[@alecwinterstein2955]

AS COLOUR ... real good

[@angelmelendezjr.5092]

Thanks for the wisdom and sharing your experiences… have you ever tried rich cotton blanks here in NY people are crazy for them…

@Big Brandoh, How would you suggest heat pressing on 60/40 blends? About to drop an order of shirts and cant really find any reviews on it.. Figured id get advice from a pro! Can i do that? They're going to be gym shirts, just wanted to pick your brain! Tips/ Heat temps

[@lucaswright3971]

Great video!

[@yourmomma6909]

How did you learn how to screen print? And what would you recommend to learn?

[@dkloss29]

Good video I go get customers that want different types of shirts also

[@cool.arrowz6640]

Always dropping gems appreciate you I have been working on my designs is it a bad thing to learn the craft and stock up before I put my self out there or should just put my self out there already

[@BigBrandoh]

i would suggest putting your ideas out now. the market will tell you if its a good idea or not. i like to put stuff out sooner than later just incase somebody else has the same idea as me. i would hate to look like the one who copied. even if we both had the same original idea.

[@cool.arrowz6640]

@@BigBrandoh appreciate it I know what I am going to start doing once I get off the road and back home thanks again for the gems brotha

[@hustlersunion74]

my guy, i had the exact same issue around that time. i use to use the 6oz tees then ed hardy affliction monarchy etc came and fucked the game up. i like the heavier tees. but its so hard to make everyone happy. im glad im not the only one who had this nightmare experience. i lost tons of money as well. 🤣😢

[@robsmith2295]

Hey Big Brandoh, love your videos! Can you recommend where to find 4x Long heavy weight t-shirts? I been searching but cannot find any.

[@TheyCallMeLyson]

This is pure gold!! My question is when u buy all style or pro club, do u remove the neck label and replace it with one of ur own label? Every screen printer I go to say that it’s illegal to do that

[@BigBrandoh]

sometimes with alstyle. depends, on 2 of my brands i press my own label in. on the other 2, i leave them in.

[@mousey31]

Alstyle is Money! That's what I use. ✌

[@RickRudey]

That's true bro. Depending on the demographic some like a different style. Made the same mistake couple years ago.

[@BigBrandoh]

exactly! its an expensive mistake that most of us make. live and learn. thanks for watchin and for sharing

[@FreedomOverFame]

I personally found pro club way too boxy, short and the collar was super tight and the shirt felt like I was wearing it backwards. After buying one of every model from over 6 different companies I decided to go with Alstyle "Premium" 1701 but also like the alstyle classic as a backup and M&O as my secondary brand if those are out of stock. All except the classic are made in Mexico and have relatively the same fit. Your videos are what made me decide to order Alstyle in the first place, so thank you. Keep up all the hard work. Love your videos

[@BigBrandoh]

thats right!!! 💯👊🏾💯 thanks for the continued support

[@frankrodriguez1295]

Thanks Big Brandoh..you always make me think twice..about what I need to do..

[@kayh865]

Hi Brandoh I like and respect your videos along with your honesty. Say someone is just thinking of starting this business what advice would you give them about designs for their tshirt should they just try to come up with ideas or should they get someone to create the designs for them and if so is there anyone/place that you would recommend

[@BigBrandoh]

you can hire a graphic designer but you also need ideas to have the graphic designer bring to life for you. before you get started, planning and structuring is key. check out my playlists on my channel. breaks everything down for you. lots of useful resources in my description box too

[@mistatig]

appreciate the gems man.
