Trademarking a logo..."Trademark Pending"

Here is what I should have posted...I`m getting a trademark, not a patent...
Does anyone know if it is okay to start manufacturing a product (clothing in my case--a t-shirt to be exact) while the trademark is pending on the logo? I plan to file the trademark application before the end of the year, but I`ve heard it takes nearly a year or longer for the application process to be complete. I don`t want to wait that long to start promoting/advertising/marketing my t-shirts. I`ve seen some products with "patent pending" on them or denoted on their websites. What do you think? I want to be smart/safe, but I don`t want to waste too much time and prolong this process. Please help!!
