I wouldn't say epacific has a super tight neck, but I could be wrong. Could be worth getting a sample to see if it fits your neckline needs.
Re: Found a really cool American Appael alternative. Anyone heard of it?
I just mean if it is the same neckline as an AA shirt. Got AA sample and waiting for Pacific sample but the suspense is killing me because even with import duty etc etc this could work out at half price compared to AA. Like I said, continental neck opening seemed huge so if Pacifics is near enough the same as AA I may have struck gold

RODNEY hey i checked out m&o, looks nice, what do you know about that company?? hows the fitting? yea sure enough theyre not too far away... so id just like to know have u or anyone here tried them? what brand is this comparable to as far as sizing/ feel

Re: Found a really cool American Appael alternative. Anyone heard of it?

They fit similar to Gildans, Hanes, Fruit of the Loom. Very nice and soft. You can find more info about them in a search, a few members have posted about them in past threads.

Where are you located? Have you actually asked the wholesale companies how you can buy wholesale from them with your current situation. It seems like you are making it more complicated than it needs to be, or not following through by asking the companies (by phone if necessary) how you can purchase from them.

To be fair, "epac" was only mentioned recently. There are a lot of brands that haven't been mentioned recently that have been posted as suggestions in this forum
M & O Knits and pacific sports are 2 different "styles" of t-shirts.
Just like Gildan/Hanes and American Apparel are two different styles of t-shirts. Each is for a specific market. Make sure you know what kind of style your customers are looking for.
Re: Found a really cool American Appael alternative. Anyone heard of it?
Just placed and order with Epacificsports for a few of their t-shirt styles. Will report back when i receive them.
So far, the service and support has been FANTASTIC! Very quick with emails and very helpful with international customers. I just organised a purchase for clients in Hong Kong and Australia.
If your not from the USA you usually dont need a tax ID even if the signup says so. Simply email customer support and they will sort you out. The same goes with other USA based distributors usually.
Re: Found a really cool American Appael alternative. Anyone heard of it?
I just got samples through from epac and they are great. The epac staff are really helpful too, really really helpful. The shirts remind me of AA, slim fit, close neck, long in the body and the rip out tags are ace. They work out just over half price despite import tax and VAT into the UK compared to getting AA in the UK.
Re: Found a really cool American Appael alternative. Anyone heard of it?
looks like i was beating u up with questions rodney pardon my french,
ur right, epac has just been mentioned, i guess its a matter of prefference since itll compete with most of the established heavyweights like gildan, it hadnt been very bragged about i can get the usual suspects jerzees gildan ftl hanes, locally, so thanks for clearing it up, i really wanted to know whether it was economic or premium fit thanks alot for the info, and clearing out exactly what this brand compares to, its the only way i can make sense and compare brands mentioned here, as ive never seen any of the premium ones, and actually i know most of the suppliers here dont even know them (like AA) hopefully these comparisons help more than one here so when we do order, we know exactly what to order and expect.
its when i seek the 'higher' quality brands, that i hit a wall, i am VERY interested in epac, quality yet cheap, jerzees and gildan will always be in demand, however its nice to now also fill a more premium void in service without breaking bank,
my experience with exporting is that so long as goods arent coming back i wont pay US tax, the US is happier to export than to tax me, trust me im helping the GDP here... and btw mexico's tariffs are 15%
id love to contact epac to set everything up, i really like what ive heard
this question is for anyone whos gotten samples, what payment method is taken?
do u guys think girls preffer epac to Gildan? bella?
and for international orders, how do u go about setting it up?
i really cant wait to get a sampling of this brand this whole thread is one giant toast to epac, if it wasnt the usual people writting here id think it was a fake, thanks to everyone for all the info!

I should receive my EPac samples on Tuesday. Although the service I've received so far is outstanding. Quick responses and willing to help out. I'll provide input when I receive the samples.

i just called them today, ur right rodney theyre totally different, and im certainly glad i can now offer something a little higher end without breaking bank, the big guys will always be in demand, mainly beacuse theyre cheaper, but at these prices, all i can say is wow, its like driving a lexus, awsome feel without the stratospheric price, were part of the salesteam after all well at epac the guys are awsome, ive just registered, will order soon ill go out tonight, probably tomorrow as i havent seen their selection in detail, cant wait to receive samples...
if i do, ill post pics for everyone to see they seem to be a small business shop, even answered with a hello i had to make sure id called epac, seriously the guys are super down to earth i felt like i was calling a local supplier, definitely better than holding forever to some even more annoying elevator music

Re: Found a really cool American Appael alternative. Anyone heard of it?
one last question... as far as their selection goes, what do i need to know about the 30/1 18/1 and 22/1 options, of all which do you guys like more? im going to order all but id like to order more samples of the ones u all preffer, just because ill probably print em, no room for rags here n to give epac a fair shot or would it raelly matter?
what ratings are jerzees 50-50 as far as this 'thickness' goes to use it as a benchmark
Re: Found a really cool American Appael alternative. Anyone heard of it?
The specific sales rep that I use for Pacific Sports has been very impressive. My personal preference is to always have 1 point of contact if I can (so I have one person to hold responsible when things go wrong). My guy's name is Gene, and his direct number if you are interested is (310) 704-0735. He works at the west coast office (in Los Angeles county somewhere).
