If you have seen a t-shirt design somewhere or used to have a favorite t-shirt and don't know where to buy it again, post here and see if one of our fellow members can help you locate it. This is for searches for a single t-shirt to buy retail, use the wholesale t-shirts forum for help sourcing a particular brand or style.
Hello - i am new to this industry and I ahve an order of about 1000 shirts but here is the kicker they need to be American made 50-50 and the color is forest green oh yeah they need sizes from s-3xl - not a bad challegene for my first order.
I ahve tired american apperal and they are great but they do not have shirts that run that big ( tent size)
any leads or feedback would be deeply appreciated.
Also any suggestions on how to use this sight? One could loose a couple of hours just looking.

The forum search page is a good place to start. You can search for things like american blank t-shirts and find past discussions that may have answers to your question.
Also, if you navigate to the section that is about what you're looking for (in this case, the Wholesale T-Shirts section of the forums), you can use the search box on that page to search just that area of the forum or browse through some of the older discussions, looking at the titles to see if any past topics match what you're looking for.

I've had more than a few people ask for "American Made" T's. When they find out the price, they often change their mind. If it is any consolation, most of the time, Jerzees is American cotton knitted in the USA. Since NAFTA, this is about the best you could do.
If it didn't need to be American made, or if it didn't need to be 50/50, this would be a piece of cake It's those two together that really complicate things (or if it didn't need to go to 3XL - so those three things really).

This is absolutely true. My gut feeling is that they might not really "need" these three things so much as prefer them. I mean, why would anyone really ever "need" 50/50 instead of 100% cotton?
Before you spend forever looking for the perfect shirt, it might better to just show them what you have found so far, with the prices. I bet that they will be willing to compromise.
Maybe try to get them to go for some shirts made in Canada.
Near as I could tell the first site didn't have 50/50 (or Forest Green (or any green for that matter), or size small), and nor did the 2nd (it did have green and s-4xl though). Was I looking in the wrong place?
If you forego the 50/50 aspect, Bayside has USA made Forest Green Tees. They do go up to a 3X but they are 100% Cotton.
I have never used them but I buy my American Apparel blanks from Commonwealth Cotton and Commonwealth also reps Bayside. www.commonwealthcotton.com 1-800-333-8133 - David X221.
i was reading Alternative Apparel's custom/private label page via their wholesale page and they have several different greens first of all, and many many many different fabrics but i think all of their blends are jerseys, and they talk about domestic or overseas construction, so there is another source for US made pieces.
