I'm not quite sure how to do this................................

Dave is the price dependant on the quality ie get one for under a tenner and it falls apart after 1st wash, or will it last a life time. as in a few years time I'll need something like this to remind me what I've done on the past!

 

There's some good makers and bad ones. I have worked with a few of them. The problem is that price depends very much on quantity, but tomorrow, i'll try to find some decent makers and post prices here. Some good cotton with good print don't come cheap, kike, there's no way you could make that happen for a fiver, but I belive you can get some real quality for a decent price. Meaning less than 30£. We'll see. Don't take anything on blind trust, but there should be many makers with reviews. Users who shared their experience. There must be.

 

Hi Dave, just a thought, i deal with a firm in Glasgow http://www.ckl.uk.com/ they supply t-shirts amongst other things prices of the t- shirts are very reasonable, i sell the "Fruit of the loom" super premium as a basic t-shirt for less than a fiver in my shop, cost price is £1.95 plus vat, it comes in about 12 colours from small up to 3xl (about 50/52 chest) some of the other makes they supply might come in bigger sizes

"Gildan" GD05 is another brand which they say are also popular with printers, the cost is much the same
If Sam wants to go in and have a look at some samples thier address is 53 wallace st Glasgow G5 8DJ

 

I know very well fruit of the loom tees. They're just plain bad quality. It's cheap tee raw material. And the cut is ugly. ( I worked in Parisian fashion, so yeah that does affect my judgement )

I have spotted a good company in Paris, really promising stuff with actual real choice. People making actual tees for various prices, not just marketing stuff. More details soon.

the fact that ckl.uk.com does not publish they prices online does not reassure me...

 

Let me be honest, I have not ordered fruits of the loom in a while, but I have to admit, I might be wrong about them. I looks better than it used to be, and they do 205g/m2 which is quite alright. Still I have serious doubt about the cut.

(I'm an average slightly muscled (builded ? strong ? how do you say that in bloody english ! ) man, and I remember the cut being really weird and very short at the neck, like "Ok, clearly I am not going to wear this on a daily basis".

 

You can say "slightly built" Sam - just like the biglad!

 

Hi Sam fruit of the loom do various qualitys and cuts in thier t-shirts costing from as little as (trade price) 75p! i have sold a lot of thier premium quality t-shirts over the years, and i can honestly say ive not had any problems with them.the reason CKL don't publish the prices is because they only sell to the trade..thats why i would have to let them know if you were going to visit them

 

Most of the fruit of the loom t shirts I've had have been ok and washed well, its normally the iron on type decals that let them down

 

yes they are pretty good Tez,they are used a lot for screen printing, theres a lot of other manufactures making t- shirts,Screen stars,Haynes,Top Sports ect and they are all much the same quality and price,but it might be an idea to go a step up in quality as it's for the grand meet up and you want something that will look good for years,ive found combed cotton or prima cotton good.i'm sure Sam will come up trumps!

 

I don't mind the quality. All my T Shirts end up as rags for cleaning the bike

 

How about lets really take the piss, by having an entrance drink on the door as we arrive and then let's all have some forum name tags made and swap them all around in a bag and just wear anyone's so nobody will guess who's who (except the big lad)!!

 

Stick littleades label on you then??
