Ordering them is not cheap it seems. It would almost be worth it to buy a cheap inkjet printer and use those iron-on transfer sheets (if they still make them?)
I just searched a custom sweater website where you can upload your own graphics. Was like $59 for a single adult medium, so it became a meme rather than something I'm going to own.
Nobody brings it up, but heat transfers are a cheap way to make your own designs. Just takes an iron and the transfers come with the extra sheet you need. They’re like $5-20 depending on size and can go on pretty much anything cotton or cotton/poly blends.
I didn't even know they still made them. Used to see the packs of the transfer sheets everywhere but either haven't seen them or haven't noticed them. I also don't have an inkjet printer to use with them, but if I was going to do a batch of shirts, it'd probably pay off to buy a "disposable" one and use the ink that comes with it.
The only thing with those, though, was that I always forget to turn the shirts inside out before washing them so the print never lasted very long.

When you aren't really certain that your aunt is telling the truth about this being "not vegan" or "vegan" depending on your dietary requirements:

In a similar vein, I have had people genuinely not understand that fish counts as meat. Leaves me thinking

Give me a hoodie with Chancellor Gorkon, but he’s drawn in the style of Biggie Smalls with a tiny crown.

Yeah, custom shirts don't make sense unless you buy in bulk.

I’m referring to ordering them online. They’re way more professional and last through the wash decently well.
