Dear Fastlaners,

I've recently quit my 9-5 about 2 weeks ago and have a strong desire to start my own business.
My current plan is to start an ecommerce clothing line specialising in mens shorts with future plans to expand into other areas of mens clothing.
I have limited design experience and as such intend to start with premade goods.

Does anyone have experience in this area?
Would it be better to sell some generic goods first or start my own private label?
I am operating on a tight budget (<$1000USD) and as such will need to watch my spending budget tightly.
