It sounds like you want to get into licensing. First, you'll want to ensure that no one else already owns the rights to the same or similar mark for the clothing industry. Then, if clear, you may want to think about filing for a State or Federal trademark.
To register a trademark, contact either your Secretary of State for a State trademark or the US Patent & Trademark Office for a Federal trademark.
If you are only conducting business in one state, then a State trademark is most appropriate. If you conduct business in at least 2 states OR between the US & any other country, you can file for a Federal trademark.
Prior to investing your time, money & effort into a name, it is strongly advised that comprehensive research be conducted to ensure that the name you're interested in is truly available.
This entails searching the pending & registered Federal and State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files. Then, if clear, you can decide if you would like to file for a Federal or a State trademark.
Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can. Here are some book titles that are relevant:
* How to License Your Million Dollar Idea: Everything You Need To Know To Turn a Simple Idea into a Million Dollar Payday, 2nd Edition by Harvey Reese
* Essentials of Licensing Intellectual Property by Alexander I. Poltorak, Paul J. Lerner
* The Licensing Business Handbook, Fifth Edition by Karen Raugust

Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Go to The Hot Tees ( http://www.thehottees.com ) There is a banner at the bottom of the page that is flashing and says *free set up *free stores. You can try setting up a shop for FREE! It's really good. The company they go through has been around for quite a while and they handle all the customer service, credit card handling, products, etc. You just make the designs, upload them, and pick out the products that you want to offer that design on. You will love it.
