So I’ve made some sales and ordered my own samples!

Here’s the low down:

Threadless T-Shirt Quality Review

The shirts are printed by Next Level Apparel. They’re nice. The tri-blend is the superior shirt in my opinion. Makes sense considering it’s a few dollars more expensive than the regular blend. It feels nice on the skin, and with this global warming, it’s nice to have a cool shirt.

Threadless T-Shirt Sizing Review

Maybe because I’m a guy, but I had no idea why women’s sizing is so small. I think the women’s medium is roughly equivalent to a men’s small. Good to know going forward. I’m a men’s medium and I’m super happy with the fit! Looks good too!

weheartninjas threadless shirt men's medium fit review — Men’s medium fit (I part-time lift so I’m part-time swole)

The kids print is nice, a bit big so it looks a bit odd, but I think that could be because kids are odd-sized anyway.

Threadless Printing Precision Review

weheartninjas review of Artist store versus actual print versus design — Weheartninjas Artist store product shot versus actual print versus design

Threadless uses a digital print. My friend is a screen printer and she let me know that screen printing is usually more superior, but costs more (due to chargers per colour). I think the digital print is good and let me get away with more colours. I found the scale of the weheartninjas were good and in proportion to the size of the shirt (threadless has this down!). I also found the print itself was on point compared to the design. The display colour product shots from the store front were more-or-less spot when actually printed.

Threadless Shipping Costs and Time Review

When I made my order for the shirts, I was nervous, as I knew the Canadian dollar sucks compared to the US right now. Then on top of that are the shipping costs and the duty costs. Thankfully Threadless offers a Standand Plus with Prepaid Customs option. I paid $30.75 US which was great as I didn’t have to deal with customs!

My order arrived about 7 business days from when I ordered it (I’m in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada). They also printed the shirts the first business day after my order. I’m still looking for a way to print in Canada, but eh, threadless has a good reputation, so what the hell!

My name is Ken and I’m a Canadian based artist and I like drawing ninjas. I heard Threadless had started their Artist Shops and jumped on the chance to try them out. Check out weheartninjas.threadless.com for a selection of everyday ninjas doing everyday ninja stuff. On shirts. We got ninjas getting physical, ninjas hula hooping, ninjas biking, you name it, I ninja it.

But then what is weheartninjas.com for?

My hope is I’m going to share all the things I’ve learned about trying to run a hobby t-shirt business. Focusing on the Threadless experience, selling between borders (Canada and the US), social ads and et cetera. The Artist Shop at this time is just a shop. No blog.

Why Threadless Artist Shops?

I chose Threadless for a couple reasons:

They handle all the distribution and printing (I work full-time so don’t have a lot of time besides making the ninjas)
They have a good reputation

Really that’s about it. The struggle has been that they are a American based company. The problems I’m already encountering is the exchange rate, customs fees on top of shipping fees, and that I don’t know anyone in America who would be interested in my designs. But I think the pros outweigh the cons. But before I dive deeper into all that, check out my weheartninjas Artist Shop. Maybe pick up a weheartninja shirt while you’re at it! Till next time!
