Pimpashirt features the latest in t-shirt customizing techniques as a way to encourage new enterpreneurs to start your own business in customized apparel.
First and foremost, big ups to last weeks t-shirt giveaway winner Donna from Staunton, Virginia. She walked away with pimpashirt #2 - featuring a skull patterned vinyl with a drop shadow and a wrap around print. Nice!!!
Now on to the lecture at hand….
Pimpashirt #3 is a creation fit for those that want to show they make money, money. It’s a combination of gold foil vinyl and green flock used to create a design that focuses on ‘green’. We’ve combined a dollar sign, elements of the recycle symbol and lettering to come up with this creation.

The process happens like this…..
We cut each material (the foil and the flock) individually on the vinyl cutter, then heat press them – first the foil and then the flock for our front design – see below.
Close Up Foil - Flock Design
This t-shirt also features a name drop on the back lower portion of the shirt – which we apply separately. This placement sets the shirt off from being standard, giving it a nicer look for a small extra cost.
Flock - lower back placement
Now, if you’re breathing and anywhere close to the streetwear market you know that foil is on fire. Whether gold (as featured in this week’s shirt) or chrome – its all about having the mirror look. We’ve achieved that but still felt it needed to be complimented. That’s why we added some feel to the garment with the flock (we’ve been told by a a few major t-shirt retailers that flock is coming back BIG – so we couldn’t resist).
The end result is just what you’ve witnessed - a multimedia, multimeaning decoration that we proudly add to the pimpashirt.com collection!
Of course, we almost always pimp our shirts on video. Week 3 is no different – enjoy the beats and the footage, we did.

neat stuff – you’ve gotta start posting music credits – loved this one.
Still can’t get used to FLOCK as a hot item but if you say so…
Flock is really awesome. Stacking flock on top of vinyl gives a really cool effect. I appreciate you guys having a blog and proving us with info about the market and materials. Keep up the good work! i hope the information will increase my skills as a t-shirt maker/designer as well.
Don’t multiple layers for different designs and colors make the shirt hot to wear and give it an awful hand?
