Sourcing t-shirts made from unusual materials?

[Austin And Ives]

Hello StyleForum

I have recently started my brand Austin & Ives and have been making transfer printed tees. However I want to really experiment and take things to the next level.

I wanted to know if anyone knew where to source tees made from -

Velvet
Suede
Matte colours (even possible?)

I was also thinking of doing black tees with small black studs/spikes randomly on the front or maybe splattering drips of bleach on them?

What's your opinions?

Thanks
Tom

Why would someone buy a tee shirt that isn't machine-washable (e.g., suede)?

Leather fabric trim is an idea that might work.
