Default Looking for maker, O/T perhaps?

Hello, i'm really looking for some references, i just don't know which forum to post in!

I already have a list of a few fashion t-shirt wholesalers i intend on looking into however im looking for "makers" overseas. Not all of my designs are simple prints on t-shirts, i want to have more elaborate (slightly more elaborate) tops designed by hand and made for me. This may be a combination of embroidery, foil, vinyl, print, alterations, etc.

Look at some of the Billabong hoodies for example. They are pretty complex! I am looking for a factory that i can send a hand-made prototype to and have them reproduce X amounts of time.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction ?!

Thanks in advance,
Paul

A good starting point might be alibaba.com.

There are a few members here that work for US and international garment factories, so it's possible that you might be able to find some sources if you post your request in the classifieds (once you have 15 posts)

thanks a lot for your input. i have heard about alibaba and have spent a tiny bit of time on there, however, all i have found are wholesalers of garments and no actual makers that will do what i tell them. what is the correct term/word/nomenclature for the company i am looking for? "maker" seems most accurate...

"Manufacturer" might be a better choice.
