What's your favorite online/brick supplier for blank tee shirts? hooded sweatshirts (with and w/o zippers)? baby tees/female-cut shirts?
I want to buy t-shirts/clothing items in bulk to print/applique/generally fuck up. I'm primarily interested in the following characteristics, ordered by importance:
* cost (would like to keep it well under $3 a shirt or so)
* low minimum order (like to spend < $100 the first order, preferably $50)br> * quality/cut
* color (should be black)
*assorted cuts available
* suitable for screening (i can't think of shirts that wouldn't be, but you know).
(i love american apparel too, but they're currently priced beyond my means for small projects).
I would love love LOVE to find a source for *used printed t-shirts* that sold in small runs (most of them seem to only sell massive bales) -- but any input you have on places that sell used/vintage t-shirts/clothing in bulk I'd be interested in as well.
i've already checked out most of the online stores that are easily found by typing keywords into google, but I'd like to hear about ones that you've ordered from and have worn. if I can get away with a $3 shirt that just happens to be cut well enough so that it's *almost* comparable to one that costs $6-10, well, that would be ideal.

Response by poster: oh, i should mention that I do/will have a business license, so wholesalers that don't retail to the general public are fine.
thanks, smackfu, i'll take a look at that. even discounted, though, i find the aa stuff to be too expensive, although it's really nice. i'll probably move to it later when I have more money to spend on this project.

Response by poster: wow. actually, under $4 a shirt for a dozen? maybe i'll have to re-evaluate my opinion of them. they're def. worth the extra buck.
