Let's take the gymshark company as an example.

Do you think they get their stuff off Alibaba?
Do they find an appropriate wholesaler on Alibaba and then stick with it for all their apparel?
Does Alibaba have some high quality clothing?

Also, how much would be a legit price to pay for good quality t-shirts, in small quantity (just starting)?

thanks!

    I am sure they do a cut and sew. T shirts are going to depend on what you have in mind doing

      Is cut and sew the regular way of doing it? I thought most of the clothing brands actually imported their clothing from china.

    On performance clothing it is usually sublimated and then sewn together, depending on where they have their clothing manufactured, it could be Mexico in the USA as it would be preferred because of our agreement with no import taxes or it could even be made in China,, it all depends.. here is one of our cut and sew soft shell jackets that are produced here in the USA and we only do custom work.

    I thought that if I weren't dealing chinese manufacturers I couldn't get the best price but then there is the importation fees and taxes..

    I think I will deal with USA manufacturers
