Gillian Kyle Custom T-Shirts in Glasgow

Who doesn't like Tunnock's Tea Cakes? Creamola Foam? A Scottish Pride Plain Loaf ... with square sausage wedged into a slice of it on a Sunday morning?

I love to meet custom t-shirt vendors and I recently found a cracking stall in Glasgow's St Enoch Centre. Gillian Kyle is a young Glasgow artist who is developing custom t-shirts and other products that are well worth a look at.

The stall vendor that day, Kirsty, took the time to explain what was happening at this brilliantly Scottish custom t-shirt stall. The brand was founded in 2009 as a "brand that stands for quality, ethical production and wonderful, original design" however the stall is only there until Christmas. Watch out though as I predict that you will see more of these custom products as the brand grows.

The items on sale included hand screen-printed custom t-shirts, mugs, tea towels, cushions, bags and there is even some cool premium range aprons to wear as you cook up your own custom version of old Scottish recipes!

If you cannot get to the St Enoch Centre in Glasgow, go to the Gillian Kyle site, take a look around and then buy these well designed and unique products which are all delivered with a wee touch of Scottish humour. Once the affiliate links are set up on Gillian's site I will be more than happy to promote them here on custom t-shirts!

Yes, and you can upload your own graphics too. I especially liked the fact that you can easily mix and match graphics with text and then add effects like distress for that vintage look.

Bob Marley Custom T-shirts are a particular favourite of mine. I am always on the lookout for quality and found it on a recent trip to Florida at Boughi Apparel & Accessories.

Drawn into Boughi by its open layout and the collection of high quality clothing in the window, I couldn't believe my luck that there was a collection of Bob Marley Custom T-shirts on display.

I spent some time with the store co-owner Tamekia who explained that her Bob Marley merchandise was supplied from Zion who are official Bob Marley merchandisers.

Boughi is a great store to visit for custom t-shirts as well as a great range of known brands clothing and apparel for ladies, gents and children . Next time I am in Florida, I'll be visiting Boughi ... oh and trust me you should too, you won't be disappointed.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 22:34:00 +0000

Why Not Start A Successful Custom T-Shirt Business?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 17:04:00 +0000

Would you like to start a successful Custom T-Shirt Business? Would you like to use your flair for hip and cool custom t-shirts and convert this creativity into a fledgling business? Would you like to design custom graphics, print them onto high quality t-shirts and deliver them to tens, hundreds, thousands, millions of happy customers? Me too!

I have always been interested in new, cool, eye-catching and trendy custom t-shirt graphics and slogans. I am also an avid wearer of custom t-shirts.

My story so far is this. I started this small custom t-shirt venture in August 2007 as a niche marketing experiment for the Thirty Day Challenge. My blog was set up free of charge thanks to blogger.com and I started to post blog articles on the subject of custom t-shirts. Once my blog was established on blogger, I signed up for a Spreadshirt affiliate program which resulted in my custom t-shirt blog being delisted by Google. However, I kept on posting and soon it was back in the rankings again.

I added other affiliate links and for my own designs opened an online custom t-shirt shop on Spreadshirt. A very useful link in my custom t-shirt blog is this one to an eBook called "How To Start A T-Shirt Company". I have another post where I provide details on this product.

Business has been as expected. The custom t-shirt business, although global in nature, is highly competitive with low barriers to entry. Therefore, you will need to keep at it and I believe that if you start you need to be in it for the long run ... like I am. I don't yet have my own domain name, that will come later, but I am making sales now even if it took about four months using this low cost start-up process.

Once you start, you need to ensure good quality products, a high level of customer service and be engaged in the creative design of custom t-shirt graphics. Then keep going. The blogging process is fun and creative in its own right and creating new custom graphics and text for your t-shirts is very rewarding ... even better when a customer buys one.

I promote and enjoy all things related to custom t-shirts and I am happy to post comments with links to other custom t-shirt sites (no SPAM) although I would like the linking to be reciprocated! If you have any questions, drop me a comment and feel free to subscribe to my RSS updates from this site.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 18:11:00 +0000

Spreadshirt have a cool tool called Spreadshirt Designer which allows you to create custom graphic t-shirts. The site allows you to design and order your own t-shirts and there is no minimum order - you can order just one, individually printed graphic t-shirt and you can also add customised text of your choice.

The process is really simple and well explained on the site but here is a short summary of the route to creating your own graphic t-shirt.

Choose a custom t-shirt type from the spreadshirt product selection. You will find sizing information by clicking on the small information mark next to the product name. Details on the t-shirt weight and manufacturing are also available there.
Choose a design. You can upload your own photography, or pick one out from the spreadshirt graphic t-shirt design network. Information is also available on which designs you can upload to the Spreadshirt Designer.
Text can also be nice. Choose a font format and write what you want. Your graphic t-shirt design and text will be merged and can be turned, mirrored or enlarged within the given print area.
Once the custom graphic t-shirt looks like you want, proceed to check-out and order it.

Pricing is based on a combination of the selected product, design,text and colours selected.

The end result is a customised graphic t-shirt that you can be proud of ... and you can be sure that no one else will have one quite like it!

The origin of the Custom T-Shirt is not really known. Undergarments have always been worn since the days when all clothing manufacture was a custom process. However, at some point the functional nature of a t-shirt evolved into a medium for expression and communication.

When did this happen I hear you say. In the fashion of custom t-shirt wearer's around the world ... who cares! Here's the rough timeline:

1913 Functional use by the military to ease the discomfort of heavy woolen uniforms.
1932 Development of custom t-shirt for sports wear by Jockey.
1942 Standard use of t-shirt as military underwear. Appears on cover of Life.
1952 Public see more t-shirts worn by public figures and film stars.
1964 Hermann Munster's "Terror Shirt" designed by Mutgey Wilson creates unprecedented public demand.
1975 Screen printing of custom t-shirts creates a new advertising medium used by big brand companies.
1985 Designer names appear on t-shirts.
1995 Company logos become a common advertising feature on t-shirts.

Post 2000 many people are now using the custom t-shirt as a means of communicating with the world. This phenomena has seen custom t-shirt classics - think of Milton Glaser's "I Love NY" - becoming highly sought after across the globe. So here it is people. Get your creative thinking caps on, expressive yourself in custom t-shirts. Think about how good you feel in a garment that expresses you without you having to say a word! Custom t-shirts are inexpensive and easily manufactured with modern technology and so much fun. The canvas is blank and it is easy to add some color. Go get em!
