I don't think I've seen "Pima" cotton. What is a/x? I'd like to get a sample of a Pima cotton t-shirt.

Pima is a long cotton that produces a very sheer fabric in tees and used in sheets too. It is trademarked, I think...

Anyway, there is a private label manufacturer that carries it, but they are all white...you can have them dyed if you wish: Fessler USA.

Their site appears to be down at the moment, but I think your best bet might be to try the link again (or the main www.supimacotton.org site) in a few days.

Default Re: 100% Pima Cotton T-Shirts?

I was also fascinated by 100% pima cotton T-shirt by AX.
I bought a lot of T-shirt from AX and quite frankly all they do is just slap in their logo.. and maybe design...
I am a designer my self.. (web designer) I would rather design my own t-shirt than paying premium for A|X...
I finally able to import some t-shirt in..
its going to be Slim Fit and Regular fit..
so far only 2 color.. black and white.. (with my own design ofcourse) =))

Wink Re: 100% Pima Cotton T-Shirts?

Are the t-shirts that you are importing, Pima cotton if so would you mind sharing your wholesaler?

yes.. its 100% pima cotton.. I think the quality is a little better than A|X ,,,thicker,,

Yes.. as a matter fact.. i do mind.. I did a lot of research and went to peru to find a local guy to get the right material.. and all the imported tshirt has my own stamp in the neck.

Default Re: 100% Pima Cotton T-Shirts?

I'll let you guys know when I get everything negotiated - I'm trying to have them made in Mexico. "Thicker" is not better BTW - it's easier to make. I'm going for thin shirts for my new line and will be glad to share blanks with people once things go through. The manufacturers have high minimums so if anyone is interested in group buying please let me know. I only need around 300 right now but will be forced to buy 1000-2500 depending on the manufacturer. We can discuss cuts that would suit us all and hopefully come to some solution.

On the other end - there is definitely a need for a wholesaler of the blanks so if you want to jointly finance something lets get together and discuss making some money.

I have some pima cotton polos and as nice as they are, I'll probably try to stay away from pima cotton for a while. It's such a pain to take care of them and prevent them from shrinking/pilling!

Wow - I've never had problems with shrinking or pilling from Pima - holes are the only thing I've had happen. The shrinking is probably a result of the loom more than the cotton.

If you are interested in having tees manufactured at a high MPO then I suggest you visit LIMATEX (::LIMATEX::) based in Peru, they do organic and commercial cotton and supply brands like Abercrombie & Finch and True Religion.
