Default Cheaper, Near Quality Alternative for Lifeline Blank Shirts

Lifeline is quite pricey to me right now. Im looking for blank shirts with price ranging from 40-70 only (for small size that is)
based on what ive read, Softex is good. Someone also suggested Skyline. Medyo diskompyado lang ako. Im currently in samar for a 4m0nth vacation so i cant personally check the shirts myself kaya please tulong po.
To those who have tried Softex, Skyline or other brands, alin po ung maganda ang quality at fit?
Gusto ko lang po talaga na may magkumpirma particularly the Softex brand. Tska the thing i hate the most e yung tshirts na may nadikit na dust, balahibo ng pusa etc. Tapos di na mtanggal tanggal.
Tapos yung di po sna nagfifade o nanghahawa sa light-colored clothes kahit ihalo mo sa paglalaba.
Kung alam nio dn yung price range,pakishare din po. Yung retail price lang since ill be buying 30pcs lang
thanks in advance

Hi Alex. The maker of Lifeline is also the maker of Classicwear brand. So, basically, that's their alternative if you want shirts with lower price than Lifeline, and that's the counterpart of Softex. Not sure if it fits all of your "stringent" requirements though. As in the case for most things, "you get what you pay for".

Thank you po for d info. Yep. I also know that that's why ill also be using lifeline. But i also wna try to sell shirts for 99pesos first. Niconsider ko kasi market ko dito.Bka pag naglifeline agd ako and sell my shirts for 130-150, wlang bumili. Tangengers kasi mga tao d2 hehe. Price ang tinitingnan kahit obvious na panget ang quality ng damit.
Andami ko lang kondisyones kasi i wanna offer good quality tees sa price na kaya lang nila.Nagbabakasakali lang hehe.If there are tshirts out there that meet my requirements,di mas ok.
So its really softex. I guess i have no choice but to try my luck.
Salamat po ng marami sa info^_^ now i just have to choose between softex and skyline.
Sa mga pro screen printer who've already tried these brands, share naman po diyan. I really dont care much about d texture or fit basta di lang nagfifade or parang namamagnet ng dust o balahibo esp. yung black tshirts. Thanks

Can't really say anything here sounding a self promotion, , but you'll surely get the wholesale price.

Softex of bigger sizes have better quality that of kids sizes. Kaya lang hindi pure white ang cloth, medyo dirty look ang dating. Manipis ang kids sizes, which ladies opt instead of blouses. Medyo ok ang blue corner at quadro, but more expensive to around 10 pesos. I choose quadro kasi may batok--looks astig and mamahalin. Pag maganda ang quality sa shirt mo, kahit mahal, it will be your edge against competitors.

Alex, pareho tayo ng concern. Sa masa, presyo ang tinitignan bago ang quality. Natawa ako sabi mo "Tangengers" hahaha.

Quoting sir Byron for his truth: You get what you pay for.

Anyway, ang mga cheaper na brands like softex, yalex are far in price compared sa lifeline mainly kc 'reactive' ang lifeline shirts, ibig sabihin ay hindi kumukupas ang kulay.

Kung white lang naman, ok na sa akin ang mga lesser brands tulad nyang softex. Pero pag may kulay, depende na sayo kung ok lang magbenta ng kumukupas basta mura.

Meron din brand na crystal, reactive pero black lang available. Mas mura sa lifeline. Nakita ko sa Juan Luna, Divisoria.

Sana nakatulong.

Thanks for pointing this out, Nels. We almost always forget to over-emphasize this. Case in point is Classicwear and Lifeline: both made by the same company. Classicwear is cheaper because it's SINGLE DYE, and Lifeline is more expensive because it's REACTIVE.
