Yes, if the retail price for the tees is $85, then $40 is a reasonable wholesale price.

You can find more information in this section of the forum if you search though the retailers topics:

Reasonable for high end, but it's going to be a tough sell for a new brand.

thanks. I'll give it a shot and see what happens. is it bad to contact the same buyers and try to sell it to them for a cheaper price if they don't buy the first time?

given the economy today...it will be a very hard sell...even in the high end shops...based on your post, a shirt that cost you $20 will sell for $85?? that is an extremely high markup in my area...good luck ..hope it works for you

I would like to sell to Kitson, Fred Segal and so forth. I'm just a bit unsure about pricing and I don't want that to be the cause for not selling. one of my shirt has been used in a movie that's coming out next year and hopefully getting on a show on Tv.

I just always hear people saying you have to really believe in what you're selling and you can sell it for whatever price you want. So I'm trying to really believe in my line to sell it. but doubts do creep up.
