What is the difference between a t-shirt and a shirt?
Throughout the article, I will use both at random to refer to T-Shirts. Although the right term is t-shirts, the word shirt ends up being a generic term to refer to the top clothes.
The word Shirt refers to the social button shirts, while the word t-shirt refers mainly to the shirts we are used to, those without collars or even those polo collars.
This is very similar to the term blouse, which in men refers to cold-weather clothing, but in women it can refer to women's generic clothes. So whether it's a shirt or a t-shirt, we're talking about T-Shirts in this article.
Anime T-shirts at Otaku Events
Anime events are the perfect place to buy themed T-shirts from your favorite anime. You can see the shirt in front of you, try it on and test its quality. In some events, you can even stamp with the image you want.
Unfortunately, many of the t-shirt stores at anime events have only popular anime clothes, anime that were broadcast in Brazil or that affectionate term “mod anime”. I never found the pattern I wanted.
T-shirt prices at these events can also be a bit steep or of low quality. I dislike the fabric used in printed shirts, preferring those cotton shirts, which is difficult to silk-screen.
I feel that Asian culture events and festivals lack in the products sold. It's common to find only things from Naruto, DBZ, Tokyo Ghoul, Sword Art Online, Nanatsu no Taizai and none of the anime that we follow this season.
What is the price of anime clothes in Japan?
Many imagine that when they go to Japan, they will have the chance to find many anime or otaku culture t-shirts at a low price. Unfortunately, that was not my experience when traveling through Akihabara, the largest Otaku and electronics center in the world.
Shirts in anime stores in Japan are expensive, some cost more than 3,000 yen, others can even exceed 5,000 yen. Perhaps it is because it is a region full of tourists, when looking in more humble places you will find affordable prices.
I myself had the chance to buy black shirts in vending machines for just 100 yen at a buying mangas and anime products in Japan.

Why are there so many t-shirt stores on Youtube?
Have you noticed that a Youtuber always sets up a t-shirt or shirts store? Large channels with over a million subscribers always sell channel shirts or sell something personalized or related. Is there a reason behind this?
Like any online business, including this website, we need to generate income, selling shirts is an interesting way to do this. There are anime websites that manage to generate more than 2,000 BRL by selling shirts using Drop-shipping.
Some shirt companies manage to stamp, take care of the logistics and deliver shirts to the customer for less than 30 reais. Generally, these stores of YouTubers and websites sell their shirts for more than 60 reais, thus generating 50% of profit.
The best thing is that the owner of the site or channel has absolutely no work in manufacturing, distribution and customer satisfaction, everything is done through an intermediary, the factory already sends directly to the customer. The ease and lack of stress is the main reason for choosing t-shirt sales.
Even Suki Desu has thought about setting up an online store and selling shirts and other products without stocking up, but that hasn't come true yet. What we currently do is promote products from partner stores like Amazon, to earn a measly commission of a maximum of 10%.
For this reason, we always write articles of interest and promote related products from these sites. Whenever you need to buy a product, go to our website and use the product search bar located at the bottom of the website.
