Cool! I’m looking forward to these!

If you decide to go into men’s sizes, PLEASE make them slim fit/fitted (but not that super-tight look)

American Apparel does a nice organic cotton t-shirt in nice neutral colours; I think the friendliness of organic cotton would go well with the friendliness of your pictures.

As colour goes, go for the same palette that you use for your images, that’d look more harmonious and ‘suitable’ (for lack of a better word). Include guys colours too in this palette! Like sage green and coffee-with-milk :P

I am quite excited about the idea of T-shirts.

I think you should have them be hemp or 100% organic cotton or something else ecological.
Also, it would be great if they could be Fair Trade Certified or generally non-sweatshop.
However, these would make them rather pricey compared to an average non-ecological and sweatshop-made tee, but they would be BETTER than your average tee, and hence the higher price would be justified.

Plus, just by having nut and bee designs on them would already make them better than the average tee.

I love Sarah’s idea of “a shirt in a similar vein as your gift wrap design; lots of small line drawings on a solid background.”
That would be really nifty.

Yep – comfy yet flattering t-shirts for those of us who are, er, slightly more well endowed. Also, not sure what the likelihood is of this, but having a v-neck option in ladies’ styles would be good – again, much more flattering for larger busts.

But yep, I would love, love, love your designs on shirts. There is nothing else as charming out there, in my opinion!

As an alternative to the abundance of shirts with just one large image on the chest, I would absolutely love to see a shirt in a similar vein as your gift wrap design; lots of small line drawings on a solid background (lots of scope for wicked colour combinations, too!).

I think your drawings would be great for that since they’d work equally well as themes (llama shirts, food shirts…) or as a full on nut and bee menagerie :)

Also, I must agree that babydoll shirts are horrific.

Please do not have a shirt were it is stiff and boxy, I find a shirt like Gildan brand (no offence) is like that. Kid’s shirts are usually like that, too. If you would find them like that, I would apreciate a junior’s size ALOT. American Apparel seems like it would not be stiff and boxy, but I have not tried one. I am just a kid, so I would pay about $15 for a t-shirt kids/juniors, but maybe $25 for a long-sleeve one. Slate gray does seem like a good idea. White could stain… Raglan is the three-quarter sleeve one, right? That would also be GREAT. Would you sell them through nutandbee.com or somewhere else?

I also found you through shirt.woot. I’ve always liked American Apparel shirts. As long as there’s 3xl mens shirts i’ll be happy. $20-25 seems to be the going rate for the more artistic shirts.

Oooh I’d also be interested and would be after a plus size that’s well shaped for a lady. Although I don’t mind pastel colours myself!! :)

I could see myself paying about $25US, but if you made them cheaper, I would buy more.

Good luck with it!

Loving the idea of shirts :)

I think that your designs would look best on black, white, slate grey and navy shirts – as they would be a contrast.

I would be willing to pay $25-35ish AUD, because people are also aware of postage costs.

Looking forward to the prospect of nut and bee tees!

This makes me so excited that you want to do T-shirts!! I have bought all the shirts you have done for Shirt.woot since the Robot and Yeti one! That is how I found your site, and as for the prices people were discussing…honestly, i would be willing to pay $25…maybe if I loved it a lot!

I third the motion for women’s shirts that aren’t itsy bitsy babydolls. I wear a unisex L in terms of size (but dislike men’s cut), and even the XXL American Apparel girly tee is too small for me. Good options for women’s shirts are:
*Hanes Her Way
*American Apparel if you can purchase one of their women’s shirts as opposed to the juniors ones (they do make them, just few places sell them)
*Whoever your previous supplier was. I got the bespectacled octopus shirt you made in women’s XL and it just barely fits :)

Whatever you print on, if you tell people what brand it is then they’ll know better what to expect in terms of sizing since there is so much variation between brands.

And toddler shirts would be very cute.

Favorite colors: earth tones (burgundy, olive, chocolate), dark grey, and navy.
