Hi all,

I am in US for a training course and would like to take this opportunity to buy some sample shirts from Hanes, Gildan, Jerzees and Fruit of The Loom. However, I can't find any online store that will accept international issued credit card.

I am staying in Milpitas and I know that GS Activeway is nearby. Wondering can I buy directly off the shelf (haven't contact them as it is Sunday now)? Is there any other store abt 100~200miles around Milpitas that I can see the sample and buy on the spot?

Also, I found some hanes tshirt from Wal Mart website but I am not sure what's the model no for this shirt (so that I can re-order if I want to buy in bulk from elsewhere in future). Can anyone pls enlighten me? How do I tell is this 5180?

Walmart.com - Always Low Prices! - Hanes - Men's Beefy Ts, 2 Pack

Thanks.

Went to GS Activewear this afternoon. So excited when I see there are a lot of shirts display outside the entrance. However, they are not for general public... *sob*
So disappointed until I forget to take the opportunity to have feel on the shirts... =/

Went to Wal Mart at Ranch Drive after that, saw some FOTL and a few Hanes but I am not sure what kind of material is that, can't find the item number too.

Any where else to look for sample shirts where I can buy off the shelf??

hi guys,

there really isnt any store around Milpitas that I can buy some sample shirts from? Not even area around 100~200miles away?

Been to San Jose flea market as suggested by the GS Activewear guy but can only find Alstyle blanks which I never heard of.

One week left. =/
Really hope that I can bring back some sample shirts from Hanes, Gildan, Jerzee, FOTL etc... I just want to have a feel of the shirts and test print on it and get the best quality shirt. I will use the concierge service by forwarder to make bulk order once decided which blank to go with...

Please, any input?

Alstyle is a good t-shirt brand. If you search the forums for that brand, you'll find all types of info about it.

It's hard to say what styles are sold in stores, since they don't give the style number in the store.

I don't think the flea market is the best place to look for quality tees though.

The best way to get different t-shirts is to just buy samples from the wholesalers.

That t-shirt you linked to from Walmart looks like the Hanes Beefy 5180, but they may have labeled it differently for retail sale.
