I don't know if this will be any help...
I've designed T-shirts and stuff and distributed them via CaféPress. This is a page showing the sizes of their templates. If you search their site you can find lots of other advice about things like recommended file formats and resolution etc. too. Here's the link: CafePress.com : Sell Online : Product Templates

I work in the garment decorating world. It kind of varies depending on the logo, but a jacket crest is usually about 3-4 inches and a back is usually 10-14.

Hopefuly that helps.

Thanks, ill try that. I downloaded the template for the hoodie but I was wondering, I dont have to make my logo go all the way down right.. because it says 8x10 inches, just as long as it goes width wise right?

Also is there another site just like or similar to cafepress?? Ill do a google search but just if anyone know.. thanks tamlin & Jormi

I think those are the maximum sizes - obviously you can make them smaller if you wish.

The other site I use is a UK-based one called Simply Icons: Fundraise and create at Simplyicons.com

Thanks Tamlin Ill try that out but I think that it would be a little more expensive and the shipping too, I bought things off of ebay before and UK money is cheaper than US. I could be wrong though.. But thanks.
