This is upfront and real. A lot of people are talking about how to start a clothing brand through printful and printify but are only doing it for the money. This is a great video and explains what it's really going to take for someone who actually has a passion and wants to start their own long term brand.

[@proxy7874]

That's what people running like it's free Money. There's just no point in running a brand like that

[@Udontlikeice]

@@proxy7874working on something cool and I’m thinking longevity never understood the concept of just shitting designs out for money instead of the art it if u want the big ticket that’s the way

[@lilmayodrops]

POD could be good for even a real brand if you could find a good enough POD customization service for the clothing depending on the level of customization youre trying to do. Like I want to make techwear jackets and pants and that's just not possible with POD. I have to learn to sew and find fabric and all that. Although if you want to get technical with fabric and design of the fabric personal care of the clothing seems the way to go. Till I find a POD that does close to 100% customization on all levels my main goal can only be handled by me. But if you're looking for funds to support your main clothing brand POD could be a good side hustle and you can still put heart into it with a good enough POD service. There are some solid POD companies and iv seen brands started off straight POD and not just someone trying to make a quick buck but that just isn't the route for me and I'm sure everyone here. Goodluck out there yall. Create dope s$;%

[@jzxmoweey]

@Joel Blanco depends on your capital. If you don't have alot I would say get a few samples, wear and promote them with a pre-order. If you can afford it start out with 25-50 items and store them yourself and wait till you sell out. If you chose to do 25 items at probably $12 each let's say that's $300 give or take a few not including shipping. So just depends on your capital. People will do pre-orders definitely I've heard of people making 10k off pre-orders their first drop but you need to let people know what a pre order is and that it will have longer wait times. Also you look less reputable if you always do pre orders but for your very first few drops you can but do in-house as soon as possible

[@InspireTate]

You forgot about samples, I think samples is so far the most expensive thing Implying that the first time it will not work out for you

I am wanting to start a clothing brand called "Unidentified" made for everyone who feels like they don't fit in with any particular group or are different. A brand that anyone can be part of and not be judged. A brand that doesn't care about hype. I have a ton of amazing clothing designs and logo ideas but I don't know where to even start and it really sucks because I feel like I can make something really great.

[@seaggs]

So what does the product look like

[@willhunter2271]

​@@seaggs wanted to make masks with "unidentified" printed the on the forehead and barcode printed on the back. T shirts would also all have a barcode printed on the back upper neck area inspired by Hitman I think this would be a key recognizable cool piece to get the brand noticed and popping. Main t shirt logos would be famous images of famous people with blacked out boxes over their eyes with "unidentified" print written inside the boxes. I have alot of other cool ideas that's just a few to start so far

Yo, So i’m a 14 year old trying to make a clothing brand and since you’re clearly a professional in this stuff i was wondering if you could tell me if there’s anything i should change and not do with this current plan i have on getting my clothing. What I currently have going on is I have a private manufacturer from pakistan making my hoodies for 25, and before i found this guy i was working with a local vinyl shop that could only do dtf so I made the choice to go with this guy since he can do wayy more. So this guy is charging 25 per hoodie and I was going to spend all of 400 dollars on samples plus like 15ish hoodies to sell to kids in my school. I’m also building my platform on different social medias along with have a running website with all of my designs posted on it just until i’m going to go online. Right now i’m only selling to family and friends so i was gonna use that money to get the starting profit to push my brand even further. Do you have any suggestions or anything you could say to guide me in a better direction if i’m mistaking on certain things. I’m truly passionate about this and want to make this all work. I know i’m young but I got a hell of a dream bro

How would you go about this? should l go all in on it or no since it would be my first time?

[@seaggs]

I’d recommend finding a local print or embroidery shop make it, it’ll be more expensive PER item to make but they can do lower quantities bc their machines are smaller. The bigger the machine = the more you have to make at a time or the machine’s time is wasted

[@flamersss]

@@seaggs Got ya, l only want to make 10 shirts of each size, maybe M-2XL just to start out you know? cause l don’t even know if ppl will actually fuck with it lol l don’t wanna put $1000+ yet and not know the outcome. So should l have the shirts ready to go in my hand BEFORE l promote and showcase it on my IG/TikTok? is it okay to have my design laid out on the shirt before hand and post like samples i make on PS? just to see people’s reactions? & One more thing, Should l use the Embroidery shop’s shirts to print on?
