Recommendation for custom T-shirts made from picture? Small quantity

[autoxcuda]

Anyone know a good reasonable place to get a T-shirt made from this picture ?

I was thinking with all these online custom sticker and t-shirt places this could be much easier and reasonable than years ago.


Just found and article on Nobu's Dyno Tune where my 66 Hemi Satellite was Dyno Tune'd and maintained from 1970 to 1976. At that time previous owner ran it Lion's and Orange Co dragstrips for fun.

The Speed Specialist: Nobu Oshiro

 

[PlymCrazy]

That's a neat story on how Nobu came to the continental US...

"The problem is that Oshiro didn’t just rack up races, he also accumulated a pile of tickets. “I got 27 speeding tickets, I’m not kidding you… So I had to go to court and judge said, ‘I will put your butt in jail.’”

Oshiro and the judge worked out an unusual compromise: Oshiro offered to leave Hawai‘i for the mainland in exchange for not being jailed. The judge replied, “Tomorrow, noon. You come back here, show me a plane ticket, or I’m going to come pick you up.”

Sure enough, by noon the next day, Oshiro showed the judge a ticket for a flight to Los Angeles which soon brought the mechanic to the mainland for the first time ever in 1957, at age 20."

I know they are still in business, not sure they do that service still
I see their commercials on TV still
But;
I'd contact them & talk with someone
don't know the deal now

I've had a bunch of shits/tee-shirt made by them, off photos, silk screened
as long as there's not a copyright on the art etc.

I contacted them out of the blue, from an add I saw online
I then sent a photo, via e-mail, they made copies of it (15+ years ago now)
I got 25 shirts, various sizes, men's & women's from them for a family deal
I think 10 items/per art work was the min. for 'nonstock art',
I think it was $14-$15 a shirt + the cost of the Tee-shirt/s & Tanks for ladies
was reasonable (don't remember exact costs), maybe $15 each, give or take
it was a photo of one of my ancestors (Uncle Tink) from the early 1930's
from the town & (their) working ranch, their fishery/camp & guide services
Klamathton, Camp Lowe burned to the ground

my Grammies matriarch side of the family, been here since the late 1600s

photos were from the 30's
this was on the front, like 12"x12"

it was 15+ years ago now, for a celebration of life,
when my great uncle/her brother passed, at 100

this was on the back (sorry don't have an actual shirt anymore to show)
like 14"x12" IIRC, so you could still read the monument

Good Luck

Many online places can do that.

Just google.

Clean up your image first, as few will do that for you, and those that will, will not be cheap.

It's a simple process-

Upload your image, and specify the orientation.
Use a high resolution image.
The higher the better.

That's my issue I gotta clean up that image.

Sounds like any cleaning up is $$.

I recreated a window decal by hand using art paper and chroma graphics tape, took a high resolution pic with my phone, uploaded it to a t-shirt place, blammo!

Bulk gets a better price, fyi hats where ridiculously expensive.

The Nobu t-shirt pic on that website is actually very clear.
Once uploaded to a t-shirt website, you can remove the red tag and patch, crop it, etc.
Or use AI first.

Yes. That’s pretty high quality pic.

The “Nobu’s” should be straight. Same with “Hollywood, Calif.”

....The “Nobu’s” should be straight. Same with “Hollywood, Calif.”

Those not being straight are very likely due to the folds in the shirt.
If the shirt is in your possession, flatten out the folds and take a few pics and select the one that suits your taste best.
Then upload it to a custom shirt site.
Just as @Budnicks, @YY1 and @matthon eluded to, it's pretty straight forward from there.

About 15 years ago, I had a shirt made with my FABO avatar.
It wasn't terribly expensive. IIRC $22 or there abouts.
If the site offers measurements of their shirts, check them.
I ordered an XL and it is more like an L.
Also check the brand of shirts they use.
