When you get going, let me know and I'll place an order with you. I need some t-shirts for my company and like supporting the little guys.

my goodness fellas, somebody help the kid out here

A few ideas...
check your yellowpages and ssee if you can talk to a manager /owner of a t-shirt place near you and find out what it takes to be in the business from his/ her prespective.

google brought up some of these that look like good places to start...

http://www.transferbusiness.com/?gcl...FQQ3OAodnBAH1Q

http://www.silkscreeningsupplies.com

I hope that helps you with some basic info. We used small companys all the time with getting t- shirts for hte youth group we worked for.

a few things I preered a long the way.

Better quality t-shirts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!
YEs, we want them cheep, but we don't want them to LOOK cheep. The ones that came in looking cheep we never went back to...
ability to offer improvments on designs sent to you - let people know you CAN help them if you have and idea and they need one!
TELLING me if my design was going to be changed - sometimes when you get the the silk screenng part things changed, I always hated when we ended up with a design different than the one we sent and and had not been told. IT's you rbusiness your cutomer doesn't know how it works...

if ya have any more questions I MIGHT be able to help so pm me

good luck!

sad thing is..this is how it is where i live...if you dont buy designer clothing..at 70.00 a pair of jeans...your gonna look like grandma !!!

EVERYTHING cheep where i live is old (elderly)people clothing...nothing for youngsters as they put it..lol...if your gonna sell something hip..its gotta be designer..just take a look at your local mall..the young people buy designer..they dont shop at K-mart & Wal-Mart..

it is ok as long as they don't compete with TRT and your not advertising for your own site.
