would you buy a semi custom denim vest...

I'm starting a collection of shirts, pretty basic punk designs... you know, leopard print, skulls, zebra print and general err... statements...

i thought i'd start doing some vests aswell... acid wash/bleach them in various ways to distress them, then add some animal print to them and a couple of rows of studs, but nothing major so they are free for customization from the new owner...

i know we like to personalize them ourselves so didn't want to do too much to them.

every jacket is bought as a one off and hand designed so each would be unique when bought then obviously your designs would further the effect.

I'd be opening a store on ebay to start with, and if i make enough from the shirts, would think about starting an independent website...

just fed up of the 9 to 5 i guess.... need to create more than i do now.

do you reckon anyone (yourselves or others) would ever purchase something like this at all?

so, just going to order the first shirts but can only order one batch, meaning one size...

so, i'll ask for your ideas here...

i wanted the shirts to be individual, as in represent my style seeing as i'm the 'designer'...

this would involve, cutting the sleeves off and cutting off the bottom seam, so the shirt kind of curls up around the bottom.

would this stop anyone from purchasing them, should i leave them as is (sleeves and seam on) and the customer can do it if they please?

and sizes... what size do you all wear, i wear small, and as i can only get one size at present, i'll need to knopw what people will buy so i can get more shirts/paints...

thanks, quick replies would be much appreciated.

Right, got the shirts, fruit of the loom small, got the paints.

Sweet.

Need more supplies, so if anyone wants a jacket, they're now only £22 and that includes postage!!!

Woop woop!!!
