Take some time to decide your goals, what type tee you are going to offer, and to visit some local distributors if there are any in your area....
I use Fruit for my guys tees and Bella for the girls... but have also done Anvil, Gildan, American Apparel, and others....
My opinion is that based on what you are offering (high end pre printed fashion type stuff versus tees for the local electrical workers union) you can easily determine what shirts to use....
If you want fashion cuts, and thin sheer form fitting styles... you will buy a way different shirt than if you hope to get bulk orders to a local business who is looking for a cheap one color print on white tees....
Once you determine your market and who you are selling... it is much easier to decide what to buy....
FWIW... I use AmericanaSportswear.com out of LA, and ImprintsWholesale.com here in Vegas.... I used to use AmericanApparel.net... but the tees are a bit too "high-end" for the product I sell...
We're new here, with a DTG Kiosk....does any use or recommend S&S Activewear?
I've ordered from them and had no problems. The shipping time is slightly longer than someplace that has warehouses in Texas, but it was by no means long, and for what we were ordering, they were less expensive than others, even with the shipping charges.
Good to know, thank you! Do you recommend any with Texas warehouses? I do know that w/UPS, an order w/in 300 miles will arrive the next day, even w/Ground Shipping...

I don't remember where S & S ships from, right off the top of my head, but as an example, our last order from them was placed on the afternoon of 6/4/07 and we received it on the afternoon of 6/7/07, so it doesn't take very long, and we are further south than you are, I would guess, since you list location as east texas and we are down in Corpus. I know Broder has warehouses in Dallas and outside of Houston, at least I remember that being the case.
