    Where do you draw the line as to what you consider made in UK though - are you literally wanting all the raw materials and parts to be UK made?

    May I ask why you want UK sourced Spike? Is this for a particular customer? What blanks are you looking to source?

    OK. Materials, ink etc can be outsourced but t-shirts actually assembled in England from quality materials.
    Its for my own brand Justin.

    Find a local seamstress/machinist who can make them up for you, you could then even print them before being sewn up to get a much better result.

    I had a company local to me in Long Eaton Spike that manufactured on site, not many left around. A basic white tee cost £20ea trade price! Great quality but at a price. Unless you're going to do a lot I can't see it making economic sense.

    Hi Spike,

    You're paying UK labour rates rather than Chinese rates, depends what your customers want

    There's a Ladies Clothes factory shop not a million miles from you in Alfreton, David Nieper, there's nothing in there for less than £100, but the quality is excellent and they employ getting on for a 100 machinists, they have a niche for quality clothes made in the UK, mostly mail order, a strong company

    Good on em, god knows how they manage it

    Kevin
