Hey guys,

I've been looking to print on some premium quality shirts like Ed Hardy and Affliction, but i wanted to target a more urban market where the fit is not so slim/tight. So far everything i've come across that is of premium quality is vintage cut (i.e. American Apparel and JS apparel, Tultex Fine). I've also looked at other regular fit ones such as Gildan and Hanes, but those don't seem to have the same quality (like the ringspun, soft to the touch feel). Can anyone give some recommendations and how much they usually cost? Thanks.

All the ringspun shirts I can find, are pretty much fashion/slim/vintage cuts. American Apparel did come out with a shirt call the big T or something, probably a bit too oversized for what you want.

You could try citylab and luxe-t. They are both made for the urban market and have more "relaxed" fit (but are still premium/ringspun, soft)

You may also want to look into bamboo blanks. They are very high quality, and they have some relaxed fits.

You'll need to contact them directly for pricing info. If they don't put it on their website, we can't really share it here. But if you're going into the "premium" market, go into expecting to pay a "premium" price for the blanks.
