Default Other cheap alternatives to American Apparel?

From what I've read thus far, Anvil fashion fit tees are very comparable in feel and are quite cheaper than AA.

Any other brands/makes I should look into(in the $1-$4) range?

Hi! I'm really new to this forum and the t-shirt business. Do you know what number that t-shirt is with Gildan, right now I can't afford the American Apparel and I would like something of good quality, nice fit and feel and doesn't shrink or go out of shape after you wash it a couple of times. I can get Gildan here in Canada at a decent price for just starting.
Thank you
Debbie

There is a company royal apparel and if you try searching it, its (.net) not (.com). I was told that this guy started AA with the lady that owns it now, but they were butting heads and he went off and started RA. It's good quality, not AS expensive and not alot of people know about them.

Royal Apparel do make nice stuff, but it's barely cheaper than AA (about fifteen cents a piece).

Thank you Solmu, that is a great help. There are so many tees out there. I want to place my order today and wanted to make sure I wasn't ordering a real low quality.

Anvil is a good alternative. My personal preference is Tultex, a brand made for TSC.
