Made this retro Irish halftone hoodie design for the Atomm Halftone Maker Contest. I wanted it to feel less like a novelty Irish graphic and more like an old memory: a loyal pub dog, warm lights, wet cobblestones and a bit of Irish social-club nostalgia.
Printed as a hoodie and tee concept using a distressed halftone-style finish.

S&S is dropping Bella Canvas, and SanMar just acquired them.
Add alphabroder and a few other acquisitions over the past couple of years, and it feels like the blank apparel industry is getting smaller.
Maybe it’s good. Maybe it’s not.
Am I the only one wondering if having fewer major players will eventually mean fewer choices for print shops?
Maybe it’s just us, but over the last year we’ve noticed way more customers asking for heavyweight blanks for DTF transfers.
A while back almost every order was G5000 or 64000.
Now we’re getting a lot more requests for:
Shaka Wear
Comfort Colors
Bella+Canvas heavyweight
AS Colour
Honestly, DTF transfers seem to sit really nicely on heavier shirts too.
Is anyone else seeing the same trend?
