I make garb etc for a living. Your labor should be a minimum of $8 per hour. Double the cost of your materials and add labor. Example: 3 hours labor $24.00 plus $40.00 for fabric and materials. Minimum $64.00 and actually I would recommend you should get around $80-100 for linen shirts finished the way you describe...(i.e. quality labor at $12-16 per hour)<BR>

Hahaha, i could never charge that much!!! Do people really pay that mmuch?? by the way i've found different materials (and had some extra expenses for the first batch of shirts) that will bring the material cost down to $10. i think $45 sounds like much more appropriate. :)<BR>
