Nike calls this material "Dri-Fit" my shirt supplier cannot call it Dri-Fit since Nike owns the trademark for "Dri-Fit". The name simply refers to the tight weave polyester mesh which wicks sweat away from the skin. In the shirt industry this mesh is referred to as "moisture wicking". It is not a magical proprietary material that only Nike owns, it is popular in the fashion industry but since it is spun differently it costs much more. Therefore NOT all polyester shirts have this moisture wicking property.
The feel of the shirt is nearly identical to Nike's "Smooth Dri-Fit fabric" and therefore much different than $20 ebay shirts.
GourmetKickz shirts are pressed 1 by 1 by 1 person, they are not pressed in a factory on cycled machines, therefore the shirts are pressed twice on each side for a near perfect transfer. Once to ensure the flattest surface for transfer, and again for the transfer itself - at which point the transfer graphic is carefully aligned and a new graphic source file is used for each and every size to ensure the proper scaling of the graphic so a size small's print is proportional to a size 3XL's print. Many companies used the same exact source file to print all sizes resulting in a proportion that seems off or smaller sized shirts having cut off graphics.
All the graphics used on these shirts are generated by me, they are not just downloaded and then printed. Some of the source files have over 100 layers in photoshop (namely the Easter 420, 420 and Birds of Paradise)
All of the above factors result in my suggested retail price of between $100 and $125 Massdrop is offering them as low as $60 with no sacrifice in quality if enough people commit to buy the shirts from GourmetKickz using the Massdrop system.
