Ever buy a shirt at Marshall's, Ross? A factory outlet store? The inventory at these stores consist mainly of graded irregular garments. Usually that just means it's either A) discontinued brand B) not consistent in the dye process C) minor garment fluctuations.
I recently purchased Gilden HW tees from RG Riley, black tees ranging from S-2XL, the Gilden brand tag were cut but not the size label (I remove them anyway), and they are FLAWLESS. I normally buy from Cygnus, Article 1 or AlStyle, and pay 3x as much, but for the price (came in at about $1/ea with shipping included), these shirts are higher quality, better fitting and they have held up through their first run and look BETTER than what I was offering on the Cygnus tee. If your decision is pending on buying a low cost tee (just buying ANY imported tee, you're taking your chances), try irregular. If you're shopping on RG Riley right now, the Black Gilden tees they are offering are of the Highest Quality, if you are looking for a HW S/S tee.
The biggest challenge with buying irregular, is consistency, because you can't get them again-often because the styles are discontinued. If you want a consistent feel and style then you might want to find a brand you like and stick to it, but if variety is what you offer in your line, then there's no real risk in trying irregular.
That's my two cents.
Has anyone had any success stories with using irregular tees. Im always afraid im going to get a shirt that one sleeve is like 3 inches longer than the other. I found some company called rgriley.com that seems to have a ton for very cheap but dont really like the fact that you have no clue what you are getting. Any feedback would be great.
