The Perfect Graphic Tee: Crafting with SOUTHSIDE SINNERS
Creating the perfect graphic tee is more than just putting ink on fabric—it's about telling a story, capturing a moment, and embodying a spirit of adventure and creation.
At Southside Sinners, inspiration flows from the vibrant world of street art, infused with subtle biblical influences. Each design we create is a reflection of creation and adventure, a visual narrative that connects the modern with the timeless. My process begins with mood boards, where I gather visuals and ideas that resonate with the story I want to tell. This phase is all about feeling the style and story, immersing myself in the theme that will drive the design.
Once the vision is clear, I start sketching in my notebook, allowing the raw ideas to take shape. These initial sketches are the foundation, capturing the essence of the design before it's refined. Moving from paper to screen, I meticulously shape and perfect each element on the computer, ensuring that the final design is exactly as envisioned.
The next step is just as crucial—choosing the right blank. For Southside Sinners, it's essential to use 100% cotton blanks that are both heavyweight and durable, yet comfortable and flexible. The goal is to offer a tee that provides the perfect silhouette, allowing the wearer to feel both confident and comfortable. Quality is non-negotiable, and our commitment to excellence ensures that every tee meets our high standards.
When it comes to bringing the design to life, we use a mix of Direct to Garment (DTG), Direct to Film (DTF), and embroidery techniques. Each method is chosen for its ability to deliver a flawless, vibrant print that stands out without smudges, fading, or misalignment. This attention to detail ensures that every Southside Sinners tee is a true work of art.
Fit is one of the most important aspects of a premium tee, which is why we offer a full range of sizes from small to 3XL. We believe that everyone deserves a tee that fits just right. Finally, we add a custom printed label on the inside of each shirt, creating a cohesive brand experience that feels as premium as the tee itself.
