New to business. Looking to use sublimation heat transfer process. Chasing source for quality t-shirts, bulk pricing, etc. Told Soft T's or Gildan is preferred, need good supplier. Have all sales tax info., 17 year old corporation, seperate divisions. Located 20 minutes from Nashville, if shipping concerns. Many thanks!! Jamarco
Gildan's does make a 50/50, I use it, it's called Ultra Blend. Not sure if fits the term "suitable for sublimation" though. I think that's the hitch here.

Gildan do indeed make a 50/50, but you want more polyester than that to get a good sublimation print without too much ink dropout. Put it this way: with a 50/50 you're going to lose 50% of your print.

Great advise: who makes a better than 50/50 mix. I heard of a 65/35, but supplier never gave me the brand or price. Hollar back when you can. Many thanks!! JMF
Depending on the demographic you are aiming towards and your clients need, I would recommend Hanes Beefy T for a classic t-shirt. For a more fashion forward sense, I would go with alternativeapparel.com or americanapparel.com. However, the price difference is about double but you get what you pay for.
