How make “soft” tee (t-shirt) ?
We’re a new (small) screen printing company, printing a lot of standard t-shirt brands, and getting a lot of requests for “American Apparel” style “softees” (ie: vintage, ring-spun cotton effect/feel). AA is extremely expensive; even with wholesale distributor rates we’re paying $5+ for AA standards (4.5oz or so).
Does anyone know a way or process we can do in our home shop to ‘soften’ cheaper tees? (Hanes/Jerzees/FOTL, 5.5oz etc). Can we do something like tumble these shirts carefully with some kind of process and then hot press or iron them back into shape?
Basically how to make ‘vintage’ shirt feel from cheaper shirts. Thanks!
