AI Q&A with Penny: Your Darwin Brand Consultant
Reader: Can I really get a streetwear brand started with just one shirt?Penny: Absolutely! We have no minimums. You can order one oversized hoodie for men or a single 300gsm heavyweight tee to test your design. Once it lands and you see the quality, you can scale up.
Reader: Is the 280 GSM too hot for Darwin?Penny: It’s a common myth. High-quality 100% cotton is breathable. The AS Colour 280 GSM Heavy Tee is the "Gold Standard" because it wicks moisture better than cheap synthetic blends and keeps its boxy shape even when it's humid.
Reader: How do I ensure my design doesn't have a white box around it?Penny: Use a transparent PNG! This is part of our So Boss quality standards. It ensures your "City Collegiate" or streetwear brand graphics look like they are part of the fabric, not a sticker slapped on top.
