Also if you need some designs creating for you or logos and don't have this talent or just don't want to bother with all of the hassle of creating you can use a site similar to this one to find people who may be able to do you a logo or design for a small price the main language is Turkish.
Turkey has some very good designers, programmers and photoshop experts so if you click on the English link and become a member and create your requirements in English for the free ad or sets of ads and then you will be able to find someone with these skills who can do the job for cheaper than normal. The site is setup so if you don't get your work delivered then you will not lose your cash. And even though the ad you put will be in Turkish, if a Turkish English speaker wants to help you out then it is win win for both of you. The prices are in TL Turkish lira but when buying through paypal the currency is converted and you will be pleasantly surprised.
Great thing about this site is if they create anything for you, you retain the copywrite for this.
Maybe this can help someone.
Here's the link if you need anything like this: Turkish designed value for money logos and designs

The good old Union Jack flag link that is in the top right hand corner. There should be two flags side by side a Turkish flag and a English pardon! British flag. Clicking on the British flag changes all of the text to English apart from I believe the ads unless already in English and the Categories which if using Google translate can translate these easily but most are simple anyway like grafikler graphics for instance so only a few there you may not understand but the site is based at the Turkish market so ideal if you are looking for a young Turkish student straight out of a design college who loves helping people out for a little cash on the side. There are many of these people.
One thing I will say is Ornek in English means example or sample so these ones are just to inspire people to sign up. It is a newish site but there are many people watching the site from twitter I believe and because your job will be put on their twitter page then you will be seen by all the Turkish and talented followers.
You have nothing to lose if checking this out because it is free to sign up and free to place an ad the only time money is taken is to pay for a job of which a very small percentage goes to the site owners per job for allowing you to use there site for this purpose of finding someone to do work for you.
This website is usually for micro jobs listed but there is also a wants section for asking about things that are maybe not listed and if someone wishes to list a job for your want they then can.

Be careful with Ali baba I have dealt with some companies there and there products are not always top notch they may look the part but sometimes especially with some of the Chinese companies the fabric sometimes lets them down.
Only on a few occasions I have gotten great quality products. As an example take a look at how many sites are selling lingerie products. These products are very low in quality and almost look like net curtain type material, if you look at the European sellers there quality levels are a little higher and many of them even if they cost a little more the quality helps them to continue to sell. I used to run a lingerie website selling only Chinese merchandise and I didn't get many repeat orders and this was definitely not from customer service nor prices so the only common denominator especially after checking some of the products was that the fabrics were not sourced too well.
Back to the t-shirts question if lingerie and lingerie related clothing was inadequate from a lot of buyers then the same will probably apply to t-shirt vendors from Alibaba. Be careful and choose wisely or go with a European manufacturer for definite quality.
The best T-shirt I ever owned in terms of fabric was a Tommy Hilfiger T-shirt, the T-shirt I don't wear it any more because it is a bit dated but I must have had this t-shirt for over 10 years now and the fabric after many hot washes is still as great as ever. I don't think I have seen a shirt like this recently possibly because every one is cost cutting and buying lesser quality items but the proof is in the pudding. If you wear it and wash it over and over again and it still lasts you have a fine piece of merchandise.
Of course, there are many people who may say, Why would you want a t-shirt for 10 years or more? I don't know the answer to this but what I do know is if you are wearing a bad quality fabric as opposed to a great quality fabric you are aware of the fact that it is bad quality and feels terrible on your body but you just don't want to admit it. I am still looking for the same fabric for any future productions. I want my customers to be 100% happy whether it costs a dollar more or two dollars more.

Very true! I've heard good things about alibaba, but a lot of bad things as well. I guess it comes down to who you contact and how legitimate they are. But that's very difficult, when you don't see or meet them and the company face to face. You can also hire inspectors to check out the process, company, etc...
I am in contact right now with a supplier from China. I'm trying to get some shirt samples. I researched their company and the region, they seem ok and legitimate so far...but I guess I'll find out once I receive my samples....lol
Turkishconnect, by any chance do you know...If it's possible to order clothes from China and re-brand it or change the brand and resell it?

Ezra4ever you can order t-shirts and all sorts of clothing and have it branded with your logo or design but the websites I have seen usually don't like short clothing runs and would prefer anywhere between 5,000 -10,000 or more as a starter to own brand your items. There will be exceptions to this rule but you have to find them. If anyone knows of them maybe they can share them here. If you are not stocking a lot of the product on your premises and prefer smaller orders then this I have found to be costly because they would prefer you to buy in bulk and if you don't you are stung hefty postage charges some not even valid charges.
I'll give you an example I used to buy corsets for my website at 12-16$ a pop but they add between 20$ - 40$ on for the postage and some countries get stung even harder. So, you product that looked appealing to sell becomes really unappealing to buyers. You have to have buying power to get everything delivered at a good price and the more you buy in bulk the more the price comes down.
I loved running my lingerie website and the idea was on small is cheaper to post around the world but this came unstuck by the end and although the website was making some money it was not worth continuing due to high postage costs that the customers inevitably have to pay in the bundled price. My site was primarily selling in ones and twos but selling in bulk to other stores is a better option. My other problem was I wasn't selling to a local market so this was another reason why postage was a big factor for me. There are easier ways to make money. If a Chinese manufacturer is for you then choose well. I was using a dropshipping service so you are the middle man or woman for a third party supplier to your customer.
I can pm you a dropshipper if you want to check them out, you may find some other links from this or at least see some rough sample prices.

I urgently need a custom t-shirt manufacturer from turkey, I have got a store in Africa but i'm based in the UK.
I would love a factory that manufactures for some known brands, my orders start from 1000 upwards.
