One of the reasons there aren't more is simply because of the technical challenges in producing these shirts. In order to get it right, each shirt is done by hand. There is a slight lack of uniformity in a case of blank shirts, like in the way the shoulder seam is creased, the diameter of the neck hole, and the presence of deep creases where artwork needs to be.

That means the shoulder prints, which have a very precise location, have to be aligned uniquely for each shirt. What this also means is that we can't simply screenprint straight to the shirt. Instead, we screenprint the plastisol inks onto transfer paper, which allows us to then cut the transfer paper and position the cutout graphics properly to each shirt's unique dimensions. Once we have the graphics where we want them, we use a pneumatic heat press to get the ink to the shirt.

Here's a short video of the process and you can find a bit more info/pictures on the teesey.com blog. Also feel free to ask me here if you have any questions about how the shirts are made or the process behind them.

I hope this is interesting to some of you and goes some way to explain why making more is easier said than done.
