Hey,

I'm looking into getting some high quality t -shirts and came across bamboo cotton shirts specifically the 70% bamboo cotton 30% organic cotton ones from Royal apparel and Onno Textiles. My question is are these shirts worth it. Do they feel substantially better than a basic 100% combed ringspun cotton like anvil 980? Don't want to waste the money if not. So if anyone had experience using royal apparel's bamboo shirts or any bamboo blend let me know what you thought. Thanks

Shameless bump

They're really soft and feel great. The cut is pretty decent too.

Are they 3 times as good as a really nice ringspun shirt? Nope. Which is why I can't sell them. They're too expensive for my customers' liking. My shirts get sold wholesale to retail shops. To make my margin I'd have to price myself out the market.

Thanks man. I'm adding some exotic skins to the shirt and will be selling it for upwards of $60 so for 4 bucks extra per shirt it maybe worth it as long as the difference can be felt.

Anyone else have any opinions on the bamboo cotton?

In that case, I'd go for it.

It's the kind of fabric that you want to keep rubbing against your face just after you shaved! Softer than the cotton fabrics that are both ringspun and combed.

They lasted in the wash, too. Which is always important.

What are you printing on them to get $60 a shirt?

Adding some exotic leathers and zippers people love exotic leathers and zippers this season! Slap a $65 price tag on it and everybody will assume it's the new hot item

I gotcha!

Just bear in mind that it is a "softer" fabric, so is more likely to loose its shape if there is some extra weight 'hanging off it', if that makes sense

Best of luck to you!

That's something I didn't take into consideration. Thanks fam
