1) My name is Dennis (pronounced Denny) 2) I've never started a clothing line before, but the name would be inspired from a renown renaissance man (Near the African continent, small hint). 3) I can't say that there's a brand I look up to, but there is a brand who's product I admire: Coogi (talk about staying power, they've been around since I was an adolescent delinquent) 4) I love Streetwear, enjoy formal attire & would love to see how I can combine the two!

Equipment you will need: - Heat Press - Heat Press Pillow - Weeding Tool - Heat Transfer Vinyl - Vinyl Cutter - Teflon Sheet - T-Shirt - Software for vinyl cutter Here are the steps... 1. The first thing you need is a... t-shirt! We recommend you start with a 100% cotton shirt because those are the easiest to press designs on. Also note that a black or white shirt will be the easiest because colored shirts start will be made with a percentage of polyester. 2. Go create a simple one color design. For example, go on Canva and make the a logo that says the name of your clothing brand. I will use Shorties Clothing as an example. I created a simple 1080x1080 design on Canva, added the text Shorties in red color. I chose the font I wanted and exported as a PNG. 3. Go online to a store that sells vinyl cutters. They usually range between $200 - $400. Some good brands are: Silhouette Cameo, and Cricut. I bought this one. 4. Go online or to a store or buy some heat transfer vinyl paper that matches the color of your design. Here is an example.
