I am new to this group and wanted to say hi to all the other t-junkies out there. This is awesome that I've found a group with such a specific interest. I can now die happy :)
I've been a t-shirt freak as long as I can remember. Just thinking about counting all the shirts in my collection makes me get goose bumps.
How the romance began...
My T-Shirt addiction was handed down to me by the father of a childhood friend I once had. On occasion, when I was visiting my friend's house we’d happen to be in the basement laundry room where his father's t-shirt collection was kept. We were strictly informed to not so much as breath on the shirts, much less touch them. The large, neatly folded stacks of crisp and colorful (mostly cotton) shirts stood silently enticing me whenever we were near them. Before long, it was more than I could take. One day I asked my friend's father if he could show us the shirts in his collection. After much thought, he consented...flipping the shirts one by one so we could see the designs. On occasion he'd quickly stash one off to the side if it contained some sort of "adult content" our 8-year-old eyes were not permitted to see. It was the best afternoon I could remember, and we got to see them all!! Many years later, my friend's family was moving out of town and his father gave me a t-shirt as a going away present. Though it was undoubtedly one of his outgrown castoffs, I was ecstatic and still own that 1986 Def Leopard t-shirt to this day :)
The joyful sickness continues…
Today, I have channeled my love of the casual shirt into a business. I am the owner of Qwear Gear, www.qweargear.com. Seller of clothing and accessories for Straight, Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Trans, Drag, Bear and Leather Lifestyles. Our catalog has around 600 (and growing) different t-shirt designs in it. We sell on our website (though it only shows about 150 of our best selling designs), on Ebay, and we also sell wholesale to several retailers across the USA. I personally design the artwork for almost everything we sell.
If anyone in this Tribe ever wants a shirt(s) made from a design or idea they have, just let me know! We don’t have any minimum order fees or quantities, no setup costs, etc. It doesn’t matter if you want to order 1 shirt or 500 shirts from me (except the price goes down if you buy more). Our merchandise and shirts are almost exactly the same quality (and I think, even better) than what Café Press sells. Except, at Qwear Gear you can make A LOT more profit (about 100%) that you ever could by using Café Press, because they charge way too much! Anyway, that’s the shameless plug for my company. Contact me if you have any interest.
Otherwise, I will be dreamily basking in the after glow of discovering like-minded t-shirt junkie souls.
