I start a surf / skate clothing line, like Volcom, Billabong, ect. where do I start??? I know I'll start with T-shirts, sweatshirts, book bags and stickers. I'm not sure where to go to the extent that making T-shirts. I do not want Hanes T-shirt with a print on top of it. Looking for the real deal. If anyone has any idea what website or company who work with big companys please let me know.
lol
guess what
is exactly what they do
essentially all companies that do design, they do nothing
All shirts are manufactured elsewhere in their specifications (China) and shipped stateside
Volcom, Billabong etc are located in Irvine, California, near Highway 405, Newport Beach as the beach cities are near other, and therefore start-ups are there and live there
for you to be successful, you must be in CA and live by the beach, and then clicking on the streets to get stickers (on every stop sign or whatever you can plaster this drive thrus not) and get your name out there, it helps if you can sponsor young skaters and future, as formerly in that crowd out your name, but once there, success is a difficult thing to keep on hand, here Children are fickle, and once they think you've sold (think Mossimo), you'll be on the "in" crowd, though enough credit Mossimo it into the target and that practically saved his company even if not sold
