Discuss the wholesale blanks industry: Factory direct, custom labels. You can also use this forum to locate a wide variety of wholesale products including t-shirts, hoodies, mousepads, coffee mugs and other imprintable products.
Looking to get blanks in similar to alternative apparel. What is the best price anyone has recieved from them?
Im looking for slim fit cotton or cotton/poly blend tagless t-shirts for more of the fashion t-shirts many people wear while going out at night. So starting with a higher quality shirt that is more slim fit and soft worn in looking is a must. Any suggestions.

You probably won't find tagless shirts since manufacturers are required to put tags on the shirts. You may find some brands have easy to remove tags (tearaway).
Here are some past threads that will help you find other sources for slim/fitted designer type t-shirts:

Manufacturers aren't required to put tags on shirts. Tags are required to be on shirts when they're sold to the final retail customer, if they are being sold wholesale that responsibility can be left up to whoever is making the wholesale order.
Presumably manufacturers don't sell tagless because they don't want to deal with the paperwork (the shipment still needs to be accompanied by paperwork supporting everything that would be on the tag), because they don't want to have two types of product (tagged and untagged) and because they don't want their customers getting angry when many of them inevitably get in legal trouble for selling inadequately tagged products.
But (to the best of my knowledge anyway) there's no law against a manufacturer selling a wholesale customer untagged shirts if they wanted to.

I understand that, but it's quicker to generalize it. My main point was that tagless shirts aren't sold normally.

I just think it's potentially misleading. For one it lets manufacturers off the hook for not providing a service they could provide if they wanted to (not that they're obligated to), but more importantly if someone were to provide that service, people might mistakenly think there was something amiss.

Certainly true. The only ones I can recall seeing were PFD (which is a bit of a special case really).

I figured since I wasn't answering a question posed by a manufacturer, it wasn't really letting them off the hook

I know that some major labels (like Alstyle for example) will provide their product unlabeled, but the volume that they require is very high (1000's of pieces). Many others will take your labels and apply them to the shirts at the time of production. Again, these have high minimum order quantities.
In an effort to not leave the original question unanswered, I probably just made the (bad) assumption that they weren't planning on buying 1000's of shirts. Usually people who are dealing with that volume already know how to get their labels in the shirts.
