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.
So, did anyone ever find any? If not, I know where we can get them manufactured. I just don't need the # that I would have to order ... but if my supplier knows others will buy, he'll have them sewn. Incidentally, the organic cotton in grown in the U.S.A.
Please get in touch with me asap.

Yeah, the manufacturer I have has a minimum of 1600! I was looking for bamboo, but could start with a small run of organic cotton. What are the required numbers?
I could be in too. I'm starting up and would like to see a sample for quality and would need to know #'s and colors available. I have specific designs that require specific colors. Thanks for pursuing this and let me know what you find out.
OK, everyone interested should send me a PM or e-mail me directly. let me know how many you need and I'll find out prices. I am not a pregnant woman and know nothing about sizes. Do they come in Small, Medium, Large, XL, etc?
Also, based on my suppliers' other products, I think we'll probably have to pay an extra $2.00 per garment for colors since they will be colored just for us.
He recently made me organic cotton dog shirts based on my specifications. I was sooooo happy to have my own dog shirts that weren't mad ein China (where they are terribly cruel to dogs and cats) and have them made in the good ol' U.S.A. (it's worth the extra couple of bucks to me and my customers)
Made In India makes maternity blanks. I know I've seen a few others too. There's one that sells in the US but they have very loose tank tops but I can't remember the name off the top of my head. I'm interested in getting some basic t-shirts in a light color either natural, or pink, blue, or light green. If anyone wants to split something like that let me know.
Well, I don't know about anyone else, but I am looking forward to getting maternity shirts that were grown & sewn in the good ol' U.S.A. that paid Americans a fair wage and support OUR local economies.
I sent an e-mail to my supplier and am waiting to hear back from him. As soon as I do, I will post the minimum order he needs to make some for us.

Ok, everyone. here is the scoop. We would need at least a 20 dozen order to produce the maternity shirts at a cost of 7.75 each and 4-6 weeks lead time.
20 dozen = 240 units.
240 X $7.75 = $1,860
They will be natural, unless we want them dyed (blue, red, yellow, green, black, etc) That will probably add another $2.00 per item, BUT we can have them dyed in different colors because they can probably have them dyed when other items are dyed, etc.
Organic Cotton.
Grown in the U.S.A.
Sewn In the U.S.A.
We can keep labels off if we want.
High quality. Built to last.
well, they don't exist yet. I'll get a sample of a maternity shirt and have those made. Since I am a guy and don't know anything about maternity shirts, all I can assume is that they are supposed to be loose fitting ... as opposed to tight fitting like an American Apparel shirt.

This is a recipe for disaster. Don't assume, do market research. That applies to anybody (don't assume your preferences are universal), but it applies doubly when you're not even in your target audience.
Some women want loose, but to me that seems to be a pretty outdated take on pregnancy. At least some women (and my estimate, one I wouldn't put money on without market research, is that it's the majority) want, as much as possible, the same styles as their previous clothes (generally tight fitting), just cut to accommodate their new body. Many women are proud of their pregnant body, and don't want it hidden behind loose cloth. Others are ashamed or embarrassed or uncomfortable, or just don't want to be constricted. This is something you want to research.
Well, I'm going to have some made, right here in the U.S.A.
I don't know if everyone knows this or not, but I recently found out that when "organic cotton" textiles are brought in to the U.S.A. they are treated before they are allowed to be sold in this country. If that is 100% true all the time that means that those items are no longer organic.
