Would you buy a t-shirt?

I'm doing some thinking about buying my own t-shirt printing setup. It could do t-shirts, hats, mugs and most fabric items. I'm looking at several pieces totaling up to about a $575 investment. I figure I could create a t-shirt for about $15 and sell them for $20. Not sure on the rest and I'm not sold on a heat transfer on a hat. I think this would just be fabric items.

So... if I made a cool graphic integrating some of the channel items like the city/country theme, Swede, Jill and I, would you spend $20 plus shipping for one?

By my math, I'd need to sell at least 100 shirts to break even.
 
Honestly, probably not. I'm not much of a merch guy and ive only ever bought one item, a keychain, from VGG. I don't like advertising or graphics on my clothes unless it's a little logo like Carhartt or something.
 
For what it is worth, our daughter (who manages ground) looked into the same thing, and she found that she could buy T-shirts from local people doing the same thing as what you are thinking about cheaper and less hassle than buying all of the equipment.
 
Same as others...not a big merch guy. I receive a branded hat or shirt as gifts, but I rarely buy one for myself.

I imagine most of us on here are beyond the point of caring much about what we wear. Maybe not to the point where we buy our pants in the Rite-aid drug store, but Walmart is not out of the question.

Hey I resemble that remark about clothes from Walmart. Trust me! Where do you think I shop most of the time?! LOL
