Default Sample Blank T-Shirts???

Can anyone tell me if blank t-shirt companies will send you a sample shirt in order to compare various brands? I'm trying to decide on what brand to go with, but I would like to see several in person before making my decision (also what blank t-shirt companies are good to deal with). In addition, can anyone recommend a good brand (price/quality) of "baby tee" style ladies shirt? Thanks.

perhaps if you go to a distributor you can look at samples from lots of brands next to one another.

I know sanmar will let you order samples and even grometed samples. I think you pay for the item up front , but they will refund you the full price when you it back. ... JB

Ideally you want samples you can wash test too. The problem with ordering just 1 sample or samples from various distributors is the shipping cost. Probably averages $10 per shipment.

For standard brands (Hanes, Anvil, Gildan, etc.) , I would just order from jiffyshirt.com. No minimums and you can offset shipping costs by buying all your samples from one place.

Dyer is right, if you live close to one of the distributors, they all have showrooms. Or you can visit a trade show. Everyone would be there showing their shirts.

Thanks is a great idea. Are aware of similar multi-brand distributors who carry more specialized brands i.e. organic textiles?

All the major wholesalers, including jiffyshirts, have organic offerings.

Thanks Joe. You probably saved me a bundle in shipping. I would have ordered from a dozen different sources and paid separate shipping on everything.
