Default Searching for a fabrics manufacturer

Hello everybody, I'm trying to start my very own wear label.
It's that streetwear type of label with a little perverse touch.
I'm from Czech Republic and I'm searching for
some quality heavyweight 100% cotton fabric (jersey and pique) for t-shirts and polos (200-250 g/m2).
Please do you know about some manufacturers in Turkey, Italy or somewhere,
who's producing top quality fabrics which brands like Akademiks, Roca wear or Billabong wouldn't be ashamed to use? I hope there's somebody in this forum who can help me. I've got absolutely everything to start this label except the dealer of fabrics. Thank you very much for reading it.
David.

Yeah. I created my account there and contacted 2 companies from Turkey. One looked really good so I've ordered samples of cotton fabrics from them. It was quite a heavy box for which I paid a lot. And it turned out to be not so much good quality and not so much heavyweight cotton so now I'm trying to ask if anyone have good experience with some manufacturer or know about some really good company. I want the tees to be top quality. And thank you hiGH.

David, you need to be sure that you weren't fooled by the weight of the fabric.

Fabric that hasn't been sewn into a t-shirt will feel very light and thin. But once it's sewn and you have an actual t-shirt made from the fabric, you would be surprised the difference in the weight.

If I were you (especially since the fabric cost you a bit of money) I would find a seamstress and have them make me a shirt from the fabric. It wouldn't cost much, and then you would know for sure if the fabric would suit your needs, or if you needed to look elsewhere.

Well worth the investment because the difference is night and day between raw fabric and the actual garment.
