Default Work shirts anyone?

Has anyone had any luck finding a good resource for "Dickies style" work shirts. Basically any shirt sleeve work shirts that you would see people in a garage or more blue collar type job wearing? A quick search through S&S and SanMar didn't turn up much.

Thanks!

EDIT: Something similar to this: American Work Apparel: Solid Industrial Work Shirts

Just looking for the best price -- I'm just pressing "examples / tests" at the moment. Thanks again.

You can buy official dickies wholesale at tscapparel.com

SanMar has some dickies "look alike" brand called CornerStone that is a bit less expensive.

Thanks Rodney. Do you foresee any issues applying plastisol transfers to this kind of material?

I have one of the CornerStone work shirts (short sleeve) and the material has a hard texture.

The one I have is embroidered, and I'm not sure how well a transfer would work on that shirt texture. Could be worth a test, but it seems like it might have problems sticking.

Did you use plastisol transfers, embroidery, screen printing or something else?

As an update, I applied a plastisol transfer to a cornerstone work shirt and it turned out pretty darn well.
