For many years I used to wear band t-shirts a lot of the time, and I used to consider it a big part of me representing some music that way. Now, throughout the last 10 years I have gained a lot of weight, and that has meant that I couldn't fit into my old band t-shirts anymore. I could never find any in my current size, and I resorted to just buying some random logo t-shirts from a "big guy" store...

...that was untill the other day when I came across https://www.redbubble.com/, where you can find a lot of things, including clothes (in bigger sizes). For instance search for https://www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/RARE-Vintage-90s-1990-90-SRV-Stevie-Ray-Vaughan-In-Step-Final-Tour-before-death-double-sided-by-BISAClothes/61420838.IJ6L0 or any other artist you like, or whatever else you could come up with. I haven't recieved my first order from them yet, but it's on the way, and I hope the quality is okay. It almost feels like I'm coming "home"/back to the old me. Thought I would share the site with you guys. I'm not affiliated with them of course, I'm just excited

Now I can wear things like this again:

(Of course the goal is to lose the weight again, and I'm working on it, but it's a slow process!)

Thanks for the tip! looks like a cool site!

Yes, it's very cool. I believe it's similar to Etsy, so it's actually many stores that you can order from there and they'll ship to somewhere specific like another country (I've been told it's Holland for me) and then send it to you. I'm stilling waiting for my order, but it should be here Monday as far as I can tell from the tracking.

Did you notice that you can use this site to make your own merch? Some of your photos and designs might make some very cool Tshirts! Have you thought about creating a virtual store on here?

Yes, I did see this as well. I'm not sure I'd want to run a store with physical products though, as I think it could be more hassle than what I like. Digital products - such as photos, videos and similar is a different thing

I hear ya The good news is that they do all the fulfillment and returns and stuff. You just come up with cool designs so it's just the digital part for your end. Still, if it's seeming like a hassle rather than a fun thing, probly skip it. Just a thought as I know you are a creative guy and it could be an outlet that may also be a revenue stream.

These arrived today. Quality of the fabric is great, much better than what I'm used to buying and wearing from the "big guy" store, which is really just a cheap outlet store. I was surprised how great the quality felt, although it's not stretchy, but it's okay, as the size and length is good. They did cost about 24 USD each, which is 2½ more than what I've paid for the ones from the outlet store, however the quality difference is night and day.

Next up, next month, will be ordering some band t-shirts from them
