Where can I buy wholesale tshirts similar to American Apparel or All Saints?
Hi, Ive just started getting into shirt printing and Ive bought two silk screens, i Know the basics and Im hoping to learn by trial and error but I need to find a site or a shop that stocks wholesale shirts similar in quality to American Apparel, Obey or All Saints tshirts that are long on the torso but thin with a lower neck.
Re: Where can I buy wholesale tshirts similar to American Apparel or All Saints?
im looking into starting up also so i cant really add to that im afraid looks like were in the same boat! I know the type you mean though as that is the style that i am hoping to aquire. I am just in the middle of my business plan and waiting for a catologue from continental. I dealt with them when i was at Uni for my textile print course and they seemed ok then good to print on no neck label apart from size. If i do come across a tee like as you mentioned i will let you know.
Which other blanks supplier have you looked at? Article 1? Alternative Apparel? ...
Re: Where can I buy wholesale tshirts similar to American Apparel or All Saints?
Ive literally just started looking into shirts, Ive been doing graphic design as a student at college for 2 years now and I thought it was time to start doing some good quality shirts with decent one colour designs that wont conform to a genre or certain style. that sounds good with the no labels as id like to screen my own size and logo on the inside aswell so it saves the hassle of cutting them out! haha. So would you say continental is best? also would you mind letting me know which is best in the catalogue? I called up american apparel but they are strict who uses there shirts so it usually has to be an already established company or they said I can use them to experiment with but not sell.
Re: Where can I buy wholesale tshirts similar to American Apparel or All Saints?
all the styles are online anyway i just ordered a hard copy because i prefer it that way. I have heard good things about continental which is why i went with them at uni, but i will get samples elsewhere also... although i prefer the no label saves a lot of hassle!!! Why dont you look into registering a company? you can let the HM Revenues and Tax that you are not trading yet... thats what i did...

Did you have any luck on finding a shirt fit similar to the american apparel ones? also do you know the model number of the shirt on continental that would be best for what i wanted?
i wanted to have the long torso but slim fitted with a lowish round neck but also the shirt needs to be quite thin or thinner than shirts like Gildan or fruit of the loom.

A couple folks already mentioned this...
Continental Clothing is UK based, great quality, great service, high end tees and fleece, AND they are the best, easiest, and most cost effective to custom relabel.

Hey Dan, yeah i called them up but they dont seem to have much of an idea abut the right shirt out of their catalogue that would be similar to AA or al saints shirts, anyone have any recommendations from their site?
Re: Where can I buy wholesale tshirts similar to American Apparel or All Saints?
I have never dealt with the UK office being in the states, and I know that they offer more in the UK than they offer here, and I don't know how aware they are of AA over there in the UK.
The N03 from the american catalog is their standard go to tee. This would be most similar to the AA2001. I am not sure what AA style you are after, or what All Saints is... Have you checked Conti's website?

Re: Where can I buy wholesale tshirts similar to American Apparel or All Saints?
I ordered some samples of the Vintage washed & Distressed from Continental and to be honest they are that great, the seam o nthe arms are blatent and although the neck has some 'moth bitten' look to it, it doesnt really work well seeing as the tshirt isnt thin and long but more wide and normal fitting.
Could anyone recommend a uk site for
the 50/50 American Apparel style tshirt
All saints tshirts
this is the place i was talking about in my earlier post,,,,,,,,,,A TIP THO,,KEEP AWAY FROM THE STARWORLD,,,,,,,, they shrink like hell ive had botm hems shorten by a massive 4 inches,,, just washing normally at 40oc,,,it aint pre-shrunk thats for sure ITS ALSO CHEAPER TO BUY THEM FROM THEM ON EBAY,,,,,,,AS THEY DONT ADD ON THE VAT THEYRE,,,,, 100 DELIVERED ANY SIZE AND COLOUR MIXD ON EBAY FROM THIS MOB IS 141.50

Hi
Not sure which Starworld shirts Jamie uses but I've been using the 399 super T they do and have had (virtually) no comebacks with them over shrinkage. For me they easily stand up against the Gildan Ultra's and FOTL Super Premium - I get them from http://www.cottonprint.co.uk who offer some good wholesale discounts if you buy more than 25 off them.
