Cheers...
Yeah...I've had several small players ripping me off in one way or another before. (in a pretty amateurish way)
Little did I expect to find professionally manufactured copies of my stuff on DealsDirect & all over the country & even in NZ.
The US company has a licensing deal with H*t R*d magazine in which they get $700K worth of advertising annually...amongst other things.
I'm apparently too small to warrant credit or responses to emails....well....I matter enough for them get their AU distributors to up the aggro & bullying factor....I didn't mention that the AU crew appear to be 'fringe motorcycle enthusiasts'....joy factor x100
Thanks for the Slaters tip....in unfinalised chats with other lawyers.....but it'll cost a fortune...... Slaters weren't interested 12 months ago but might be worth another try....
...& availability my tees? ....Thanks for asking!
At the moment my production equipment isn't set up..but I do have a few limited colour options on http://www.redbubble.com/people/tshirtgarage/portfolio
The Redbubble tees have the image printed directly onto the garment (as opposed to transfers which is what I usually sell on eBay).
There's only a few colour options up on redbubble.....but if someone really wants a customised colour scheme, let me know & I'll upload one.
The Sandman illustration can be changed from white to black & any colour inbetween....likewise the stripes/logo....
Here's an example of the Supermint Green HZ from Redbubble:

Redbubble uses American Apparel tees in various numerous choices.
...& while I'm at it, heres a detail of my HT illustration & its cheap copy:
