Default Where to buy wholesale: Lee Tshirts or a comparable 7 oz t-shirt?

Does anyone know where I can find LEE brand tees at wholesale pricing? I have a potential customer that wants these and my suppliers don't offer them.

And if Lee is no longer available to us, do you happen to know of a heavyweight tee that is comparable? Beefy T's are 6.1oz but I think the Lees were about 7oz or better.


Many thanks!

Thanks, do you happen to know of another heavy weight tee similar to the Lee? Hanes Beefy aren't quite what my customer is looking for.

Lee was a 6.1 oz. Gildan/Delta/Jerzee/Fruit of Loomall have 6.1 oz shirts. All of these brands and many others are all quality shirts. People wear shirts different, what you like may not be what your customer likes. Read up on each different shirt, i.e. how its stitched, what type collar...etc. The smarter you are, the more confident your customer will be in you. Most customers will buy what you suggest.

Oh, I'm not the one rejecting any particular brand. The customer told me that they didn't like the Beefy Tees based on past experience and comparing them to the Lee's that they had previously.

I have a meeting Wednesday evening to talk with them about these and other issues, so we'll see where that takes me. I was just trying to find Lees if they were still available or something very similar in look/feel.

The Jerzee ZT is a very nice shirt, I would compare this to Beefy T. I don't like Beefy T either, they have a small cut.

You may want to try the heavier weight Alstyle tees. The Jerzees Zt is a nice tee as well (18z is the style number)
