You pay for the clothes to be made, and they pay you for the clothes.

While you have to get it done yourself, if you have a signed purchase order from the company in question you should be able to easily get financing from somewhere to make that possible.

Do you have fifty million dollars lying around? Because if not, you're comparing apples to oranges.

You pay all initial costs. Unless, of course, you have a licensed product. Then you have your licensed distibutor do the rest. For everyone else in the t-shirt world, ask about "vendor relations"

Depends on the store. A small boutique might just want a few pieces. JC Penney? Possibly thousands or hundreds of thousands. There is no "usual" amount.

However many they think they can sell - not only does it vary by store, it varies by designer, and by product.

yeah, thats if you are in that game.

...that means all you really need are some good samples, designs and a magic key to get thru the door to the chain buyer...and with some luck you can make the sale.


But there is a lot more to it Im sure.

When they make an order with you they will tell you exactly how many pieces they need, and then you have them printed and shipped to them.
