come on people, does no one shop for t shirts anymore?? Or are there no independent shops in cities like Liverpool, manchester, London, Bristol, Glasgow, Leeds the list can go on. What are your favourite shops for buying t shirts?

The t-shirt market in the UK is diverse. Cheap tees from market stalls and discount shops right up to over priced and over valued tees at pretentious upmarket shops. The only shops that seem to carry a high inventory of t-shirts are usually based in tourist locations.

With rents being as they are, its quite diffucult to survive with just selling independent styled tee shirts.

ok I get what your saying but it doesn't answer the question, where do you guys like to buy tee's when you are out and about? For example when I am back home in manchester I love going into white label clothing, they sell great t shirts and the service is mint, I feel like they want me to be there and not looking down on me like other shops, they can't be that rare can they?? if you wanted a second party to sell your shirts where would you go?

It is a very broad question, i dont know all the good independants in the UK infact there are some nice chains which will take independant clothing.

Without knowing the shirts you sell i can only give broad recommendations, in MK there are very few independants as the rent is too high in the main shopping area, the ones that spring to mind are things like skate shops etc.

If you go to a place like brighton on the other hand you will find a lot of independants.
