I have been reading on the forum for several days and am very excited to start my business. I think I am at a point where I need some input from everyone. If you care to help me out; please read on...
I am looking to start a small clothing line and I think it is important to note I am located in Utah. I have a good friend who is helping me with the designs. I am becoming more familiar with the different brands of shirts and the pros and cons of each, but I would like to hear others experiences who have been in a similar situation.
I would like to begin narrowing down the brands of t-shirt I will be looking at for samples. I am also working to obtain a reseller id or Tax id so I can get wholesale pricing when it's beneficial.
I looked at the Article1 website and really liked their quality, colors, fits etc. but they seem very expensive. I want to be able to offer a quality t shirt because I am looking to get these shirts in local stores and quality and professionalism are very important to me. I plan on putting in a ton of work and not really making any money to start, I look at this as a learning experience, and I will get better as I go.
I need tear away tags and would like more current\trendy color options and t shirt styles. I don't think I want to go with a Gildan\Anvil\"Hanes Beefy T" type shirt, but maybe that would work fine, I don't really know. Tear away tags, color options and fit of the shirt are all very important, but is there a happy medium between an Article1 type company and a Hanes Beefy T? I am quite overwhelmed with all of the options to be honest.
I will likely be screen printing on these shirts. I would like to find a company who offers both a mens and womens line of shirts so after I decide on the shirts I can purchase in bulk order through one company to save some money.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated, I know this is a lot of information, my head is spinning a bit, but I am still having fun.
