I've been looking for two days and haven't come up with exactly what I *think* I need, so hoping one of you might be able to help.

I'm looking for a regular fit tee with a front pocket, has a tearaway tag, available in at least 25 or so colors, and under $4 each. I don't know why this search is giving me such fits. All of the pocket tees I can find are only offered in just a few colors, and I need a wider range.

I originally wanted to use Comfort Colors, since they're such a good shirt. And that may end up being what I do anyway.. that just means shipping shirts to me to rip the tags, then driving shirts (because it would be cheaper than me shipping) to my printer. Do CC shirt tags even rip out easily?

I'm not just wanting to create some shirts to sell, I'm trying to create a brand. I don't know how far that brand can go without having my own label in the shirt, does that make sense?

Any thoughts or help is much appreciated.

When we have a customer want a specific tee with a pocket, we buy extra shirts and take it to a seamstress. She creates and sews the pocket for us.

Comfort Colors has woven labels, which are more difficult to remove, but it can be done. Your printer might have this service available.

Thanks Kristine. I think I'm going to go the CC route. I'll have to remove labels myself.. ah well

Do that many folks buy shirts with pockets?....

Alstyle has 1305 in 13 colours....You can order them with your own labels or tags....

Royster, I live in a college town and everyone wants pocket T-shirts. It's the whole preppy thing…

And I guess the difficult thing these days is manufacturers sell so few most have reduced and some cases eliminated them from their lines...I have purchased from Zorrel in the past but all the pocket ones are gone from their line....

We just sold about 60 with pockets. Everyone sells them, but not with the tear away. Hanes use to have Tear away, but now they have their label screen printed on the back. You can always screen printer over them.
