Vintage DTG Apparel Graphics Refinement

I’ve already built the bones of several graphics in Midjourney and other AI tools, but they still feel synthetic. What I need is an experienced apparel artist who can subtly re-imagine each piece so it carries the gritty, weighted feel of a true city-brand tee—think distressed vintage wash, premium street-retail quality, not a clip-art shortcut.

Reference images from a comparable label are attached. Use them to read the texture, grain, and overall attitude I’m after. This palette choice must flow through every layer so the finished art prints beautifully on direct-to-garment machines.

Deliverables
• Final, print-ready files for each design (300 DPI, transparent PNG + layered PSD or AI).
• Distressing and texture embedded, not added as a one-click overlay.
• Scaled for adult tees (12" width), with clear bleed margins.
• A quick mock-up on a black tee so I can visualize placement.

Please include samples of past work that prove you’ve handled vintage, distressed, or heritage apparel graphics before. No lengthy proposal needed—strong portfolios speak louder. If your style lines up with the references, we’ll move fast and may roll this into an ongoing collaboration.
