Assuming the shirt is a standard Gildan type shirt, it seems on the high end, but not way expensive I guess. If the shirt's a better shirt (AA or similar) it's a good price.

One is sweatshop free, made in the USA, available in a very wide range of attractive colours, contemporary cut and high quality cotton. The other isn't.

On the other hand one is run by a scary misogynist, has inconsistent sizing, poor quality control, and sizes that tend to run small. The other doesn't.

(in both cases the one that doesn't/isn't is Gildan)

Basically AA is considered a higher quality product, it just depends on your market whether or not that matters (some markets will actually prefer the Gildan style shirt).

most streetwear companies use alstyle apparel, you should really look around and find what best suits your market, or you could just copy and be like everyone else.

bape and stussy are custom made, not sure about undeafeted

Another way to find out of a quote is competitive is to call more than one printer in your area with the same exact job specifications and see what the different quotes are.

$10 for a shirt, if you're ordering how many? I'm always curious to hear what other people charge. I consider my rates a little high but I'm currently doing small volume so they need to be... My set up cost per screen is $10 and $9 a shirt if someone is ordering 10...
