    Hey Jeff,

    What kind of money did you initially put into the 'few t-shirts you wanted to wear' ? What sort of sacrifices to quality did you make, if any? I've always wanted to get some t-shirts printed and the costs for the quality just don't make sense.

      My initial startup cost was around $2000 for 200 shirts. Many people choose to do pre-orders to gauge interest, rather than carrying inventory which can be a smarter way of doing it. I kinda just went for it and thankfully it played out well. That said, it's very easy to get a ton of cash sucked into inventory which can be problematic on the cash flow side of things.
