    Hi Everyone,
    first post on here despite following "general Signs for many years. Ok Help, as my son leaves school I am encouraging him to earn some money with some branding via mugs and T’s etc. As we are on the Isle of Wight we have a market for that here and something I don’t find time for as we cover more signage. However I am spending hours trying to source T’s at the right money. I know Fruits of the loom were always a safe choice but is there a cheap company any of you guys use or can recommend before I continue to look on line- Its not the most exciting product to research after all !! So any help on T’s, Caps or Mugs I would really appreciate. Thanks in advance to you all.
    Glen.

    Have a look at Ralawise or Prestige Leisure. Also if you google Dye Sub Forum there’s a wealth of information on there.

    Uneek clothing and pencarrie U.K. Are both worth a look!

    Ralawise, btc to name a few.

    They are pretty much on pair with each other. If it’s a fruit of the loom value weight t shirt, it’ll be the same price bar a few pence. After some time you might get carton rate on some orders, you might get further diiscount after that, we get a certain %age off carton rate, it all depends upon how much you spend.

    People always think we get t Shirts for 50p each. Pmsl

    For mugs there’s Xpres, The Magic Touch, Listawood.

    We mainly use BTC & Pencarrie for the few bits we need.

    We have used isenterprises, colchester.

    Mugs, you need to make sure you buy quality with orca coating or duraglaze.

    Another vote for BTC/ralawise and Xpres. Also depending on what clamp you have for the mugs the water bottles from Xpres are also a good seller (I was surprised at that one)

    Personally though we don’t use FOTL. Stick to Gildan. Million times better for a few pennies more. AWDIS sports range is also a good one for us.
