The clothing industry, as you can well imagine, is a very competitive one. To succeed takes knowledge, patience, talent and a bit of luck. As far as the knowledge bit goes, I found some sources that will assist you further.
Associations may be a good avenue to explore as well. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have about the clothing industry as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.
There's nothing quite like research – the more you know about the clothing industry, the better. There are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles.

I strongly recommend using http://customink.com , click the "lab"
section and you can design the shirt and see what it looks like on-line, before you buy it. Also, this will give you a useable pic to
put on your site. Finally, Yahoo has a starter web store plan that
will take care of all the payments etc, for only about $39 per month.
Good Luck

P.S. When you check prices remember to check the shipping costs, at custom ink it's free but at other places it can add more than $1 per shirt, same w/setup and Art Dept costs.

The best way probably would be to start out word of mouth tell some friends wear the product and eventually build a domain web site with pictures of the product and contact info.....if it progresses from there go to local stores not big dept stores, as if they can help sell your product for & get a certian % from it.
