Hi friend,

Sounds very curious to me, if you order 25,000pcs from direct factories, i believe in a better price can be offered than you get from any wholesale brand. Were you going to provide same quality standard to the factories to quote and compare with the gildan quality? or just the factories ripped you off. My thoughts will be to find more factories and ask for the quote again, the order quantity of you can be guaranteed a good price can be offered. Good luck.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm getting in touch with a few other manufacturers in Bangladesh also to compare.

I know the cotton price has more than doubled in the last few months and Gildan have put their prices up lots, its also possible they bulk bought yarn at a lower rate and so are able to offer a more competitive rate.

I asked the manufactuer what effect a fall in cotton prices from $2 back to $1 a pound would have saying I thought a large ammount of the cost of the tee was the cotton.

They said:

Regarding costing & consumption - it is about 50% - 60% of the total price - depending on the styles. The rest is Dyeing/Finishing, Manufacturing & other accessories.

The T-shirt prices depend on the yarns that we buy from the Spinning mills. If the cotton price drops and if the Spinning mills readjust the yarn prices then the T-shirt prices will be less by 30% - 35%.

Does this sound right?

Thanks for all the advice!

 

The other thing to consider is that in a world standard gildan quality is very average, to be polite. The tees we get from Bangladesh are fine gauge, beautiful soft combed cotton and print on nicer than gildan. It's not just price to consider, but quality. Overall 25000 is still a very tiny order to indent, especially if there are many sizes or colours.

 

Check with Zorrel, Alstyle or Delta....

By the way, as far a I know Gildan sells 300+ million pieces of style 2000 each year....They own their own factories so despite the markups of distributors, it does not surprize me that you can not get lower than their prices....

 

Thanks for the replies guys.

Am selling the shirts at very low prices so need a very cheap shirt.

The Gildans, while they do have quite a few duds are in general great quality for the price, especially in that they are ringspun.

Am not US based so Alstyle, Delta or Zorrel are not options either.

With the difficulties of ordering from manufacturers directly I'd want a decent saving to be made, at the moment it does not look like this is possible.

What I'm wondering is if Gildan really are the cheapest how come everybody selling very cheap shirts does not use them?

Thanks again for all the help.

 

Hi Bert,
What quantity do you consume per month/per color?

 

Where are you located?....

 

Am in Europe so EU tarrifs come in to play also in total cost.

Shirts from some countries (such as Bangladesh) have no duty where as ones from others (China etc) means an extra 10%+

Thanks

Hi guys,

I am using Gildan 5000 Adult T-Shirt and I want to find a garment factory in Bangladesh to make basically the same one but with our tags. I would like to use combed cotton ring-spun yarn.
I am planning to order at least 20.000 each time, and our warehouse is located in the US, but there's no problem to build a factory in Bangladesh if needed.
So could you kindly send me additional information about your services, such as your production capabilities, price, minimum order quantities, lead times, and any other pertinent information?
