The costs for these extras vary depending on the metal used, size of shirt, complexity of inlay or edging. Feel free to use your imagination when desinging a shirt, we enjoy making them! Remember that most of the metals listed on the jewelry page are not good to make a shirt from(too soft) but are excellent for edging and inlay.
