The only way I would use irregular shirts for a clients order is with prior approval.
for example: Tell the clients grade A shirts will cost $10.00 ea. but if they would like to save some money they can buy seconds for $8.00 ea.
Now the client has no claim against you if after receving the shirts they are not happy also make sure they sign your contract with all the above information listed.
I read good reviews from one site selling irregulars so I bought some to try. They all came boxed neatly and have small pieces of tape where the blemish is. The tag is cut. Unless I hold it up to the light, I do not see the blemish at all...and in the light it is very faint. The blemish I am referring to looks like maybe a little extra ink got in that spot. For the most part, my designs will cover the tiny blemish. I am very happy with the shirts I got. I cannot say if every irregular shirt will be like this, but I have a case of them and not a thing wrong with them other than that.
Thanks guys.
I went with the regular shirts and the client was happy. I will be ordering a box of irreg's just to use as test shirts and eventually rags and as emergancy shirts if I need one.

I have used irregulars to promote my own business, giveaways, a vending company. I bought a gross and imprinted them myself using vinyl - they came out great, you would never know except for the cut tag.
I am now going to try and do the shirts as a side business as I sold my vending company. To create samples and leave behinds I don't think you can beat them. IMHO
I buy some from our local CVS... I do some one off jobs here and there and need shirts that I may not have in stock.
Most of the time I can not tell. BUT there was a bunch of Mediums that must have been sized for midgets that I got... Messed up my ebay order that I was filling. Wouldn't have been a problem because *I* caught it and replaced the shirt... problem was I was already behind schedule and told the customer that I had an odd sized shirt come through (they ordered TWO mediums).
So when the customer got his shirt he of course scrutinized the two and found one slightly smaller than the other and wanted me to "take care of it". Obviously margins on ebay sales are tight. I said, that is the nature of the industry and I doubt you could find two identically sized mediums in your closet.
I got negative feedback.
I doubt he would have even noticed if I would not have said anything... guess that's my fault for getting behind and not leaving myself enough time for a problem like that.
