I'm thinking of having some T-shirts made & wonder if anyone has found a good source for them on the web? I've seen several places where you can order them, but have no idea of the quality that comes back.
I'd prefer at least SOME cotton in them for comfort. ;)
Thanks!

I've used CafePress.com for various band related merchandise. They're alright, maybe a bit pricey. Back in the day we used to make our own screens and screen them ourselves.

$17US? They don't seem that expensive. The shirts are 100% cotton, & the image they show in the demo seems to be wider than most.

Didn't see it on the site - do you know if they give a discount for quantity?
Thanks for the info. I may try them if another alternative doesn't show up.

Photos, I'm interested, too, so post back here. Did you have a question, Dwight?

Photos, I am just interested in the options for printed/embroidered shirts. Once I get my logo finalized I want to have some western style shirts made with my logo/business name on the back and small logo and personal name over the breast on the front, for me and my assistant (aka, wife) to wear while shooting. And if BottomBracket or Surf or someone else ever comes out to shoot with me, I'll loan 'em one, too! :-)

One of these, Circle R Printing at PrintMojo.com or
http://www.cafepress.com seems to have a "Value T-Shirt has a Base Price of $8.99", but it's probably polyester. They do embroidery, too.
I think cafepress is a volume shop, so you can't just order 1 or 2.

If you want one or two look in your phone book there are usually stores which do just that .

Dwight... I hear you about the embroidered shirts! We've recently had our logo done up as a sew-on embroidered patches and I wanted to put it on shirts to sell to punters. But do you think it's possible to find plain black, short-sleeved work shirts (with or without epaulets) anywhere? It's driving me crazy.

I found a source about 1 mile from where i live! :D:D I'll post an update when I get the results.
Meanwhile keep the thread going if you have good info for the rest of us. ;)
