Margins are much higher than you'd expect. I've worked in the indie t-shirt game before and scrupulously figured out how to squeeze out ea much profit as possible while maintaining good quality. Profits are at least $7/shirt, will increase with decrease in unit cost from larger wholesale quantity.

That's pretty impressive. I understand keep your tips to yourself, but is there anything you can share about how you managed to get $7 profit / shirt? That's unheard of.
@endlessvoid - see my other responses here. There's no magic going on, just streamlining and being very efficient.
"Profits are at least $7/shirt"

Did you factor in the cost of your time?

It sounds like you're going to be doing your own packing and shipping. How long does that take?
