If you want sublimation shirts go to Sublimation Printing, Supplies, Inks, Tips and Tricks, CrystalMPrints, Transfer Paper, Heat Presses, Direct to Garment - Order Online!, they also carry supplies and other blanks. For blank screen printed shirts I use Wholesale Blank Shirts - JiffyShirts.com. Hope this helps.

Vapor Apparel are another source for sublimation blanks. As far as I know Gildan don't make a polyester shirt suitable for sublimation.

Thanks for info. Thought Gildan made a 50/50. Guess wrong. Will check out your suggestion. THX JMF

Gildan's does make a 50/50, I use it, it's called Ultra Blend. Not sure if fits the term "suitable for sublimation" though. I think that's the hitch here.

Gildan do indeed make a 50/50, but you want more polyester than that to get a good sublimation print without too much ink dropout. Put it this way: with a 50/50 you're going to lose 50% of your print.

Great advise: who makes a better than 50/50 mix. I heard of a 65/35, but supplier never gave me the brand or price. Hollar back when you can. Many thanks!! JMF

If anyone is in the Los Angeles, Ventura area then there is a local supplier with better prices than Jiffyshirt and their within driving distance, so saves on the shipping. Check out Coat Graphics Supply, screen printing supplies and equipment, pad printing supplies and equipment, offset printing supplies and equipment. Jim, Esther, and the team are great!

Depending on the demographic you are aiming towards and your clients need, I would recommend Hanes Beefy T for a classic t-shirt. For a more fashion forward sense, I would go with alternativeapparel.com or americanapparel.com. However, the price difference is about double but you get what you pay for.
