Default Looking for BIG sizes in "trendy" blanks.

After a fairly exhaustive internet search I keep running into a brick wall. From what I can see none of the trendier blanks like American Apparel, Alternative Apparel, Continental, TQM Apparal Agents ect seem to be offering anything bigger than a 2xl.

In a lot of cases in my market customers start looking at 3 xl and go up from there. I know royal apparel offers a few styles in larger sizes but not everything. Also they want a hundred piece minimum which rarely fits my budgets at least for the moment. Does anyone know of any manufacturer for tees, on par with the above companies that offer 5xl and higher?

The market for huge is limited simply because of supply and demand. Try and google "Just Big". They go to 10X

I don't think I've seen the "fashionable" blanks go up to 5XL.

Not even that many of the old standards like Hanes, Fruit of the Loom, Gildan, etc go up to 5XL and higher reliably (from style to style and color to color).

Maybe someone here knows of a source I haven't seen though.

If you had a large enough demand, I'm sure you could get some t-shirts custom made to your size specifications. But you'd need to order 1000's of pieces.

The "trendier" blanks are more slim fitting by nature though. So a 3XL-5XL+ that is slim fitting would be a very small demographic.

Like dale said, the demand just isn't there.

just big sizes carries white tees to 10x. i have one in stock, they are 48"square and about $17 each. i have yet to sell one, but i do sell the 7 and 8x in both black and white, short and long sleeve. i let a guy who's a 7x try on the 10x the look on his face when he put something on that was way to biggg for him. on the other end of the scale i have little tiny teddy bear tees, fit in your palm. it seems fashion goes out the window at about 3x. stan

Try wholesaledirectusa.com. Im not sure if youre looking for the fitted shirts or not, but they have up to 8x in big urban type shirts. Only problem I have with these shirts is they fit very tight around the neck.

I have been looking for the same up to 5XL/5XLT. I found a company, their site is Union Shirt Supply (Powered by CubeCart). They make the shirts here in the US. I haven't had a chance to get a sample but hope to soon.

Royal Apparel offers a 100 peice minimum on relabeling, not on shirt orders. You can buy by the case, dozen, or peice.

So, if you need just a few, you can buy just a few.
