    Heat Transfer Vinyl

    So I ordered up some heat transfer vinyl to make a shirt for the local club I am involved with and I believe it came out pretty nice!

    This vinyl is quite a bit more expensive than regular sign vinyl, but it is very easy to work with and applies with a normal household iron.

    Here is the shirt I made today:

    Do you have to wear a tie, also?

    That's looks really cool. Does it give it a feel similar to a baseball jersey?

    Actually it feels almost exactly like silkscreen, but looks more substantial.

    No ties required.

    That is a class shirt.

    What's with the "Prospect" tag?

    Oh that's interesting. Seems like you would be a shoo-in with the shirts as a minimum. Or is it please-sir-may-I-have-another?

    The white, red, and gold sheets are all cuts of heat transfers, and the rest are standard stickers

    Re: Heat Transfer Vinyl

    How well does the heat transfer stuff do in the wash? Keeping in mind that my wife's dryer, in particular has two temps... Cold -and- global thermonuclear war.

    It would be pretty dope to have those for all of our audio guys because I could

    A: get them in a shirt with a collar
    B: achieve uniformity
    C: promote the school

    Very welcome sir! You have created the place we all call home, the least I can do is help make it cozy for everyone.

    I have only had a couple shirts done for a short amount of time, but from what I understand, they do well in the dryer. Thinner materials like collared shirts, t-shirts and Dickies work shirts seem to work better than say a hoodie made from fleece. I have a shirt in the washer right now that is about to go through its third dryer cycle, I'll post some pics when it's done.
