Default Amer. Apparel doesn't care if you remove their tag?

I've been reading where people suggest removing the American Apparel label and replacing it with you own. American Apparel doesn't care if you do this? I'm surprised that they would allow this, but I'm new to this whole thing, so any info. would be appreciated.

You can remove the label as long as the shirt still has a care tag with all of the required info such as country of orgin, what it is made of and care instructions. There are alot of people who relabel. If you use the search function here you will find alot of info on relabeling hope this helps.

I'm just confused because isn't that like taking the shirt and claiming it is your own, like you made it or something?

American apparel is made for garment decorators, they sell them wholesale so they can be used by garment decorators. They are a blank supplier. with blanks you are able to relabel. It is totally legal to relabel american apparel shirts with your own label.

Okay...thanks for the info. I just want to make sure I don't do anything I'm not supposed to in my new business. The only thing they told me when I got an account with them is just that I can't resell blank AA shirts. I think I will put my own label in my shirts, but still advertise that I use AA shirts because their name is associated with high quality. This forum is great for newbies like me!

Why do that when you are building a brand? People who buy will not ask what wholesale chain did you buy it from. I wouldnt tell anyone that you are relabeling them.

It depends on the brand really. Johnny Cupcakes proudly tells that he uses AA, and he relabels them.

It hasn't hurt him. $3 million last year!

It is your own because you bought it.

You would assume companies like Nike, Reebok, etc. would make their own shirts and I am sure they do. But you would be surprised at the number of major companies who buy their shirts from the same suppliers we use and slap their label on it.
