Looking for some good Camo tshirts for flex vinyl.

.... and really struggling to find some that make sense financially.

Can anyone make a recommendation?

Ethicstar sell some at a reasonable price. Not exactly premium quality but not the worst by a long way. http://www.ethicstar.com/CAMOT-SHIRT.html
If not, then maybe Pandor Clothing http://www.pandorclothing.co.uk/

Be careful with camo. The dying process will lead to massive dye migration issues when you press them, even if the garment is 100% cotton. You will need to use a very good block-out film designed for high dye content sportswear.

Awesome, thank you. It will be white vinyl going on the front and the sleeve of these. Any tips with regards to pressing are most welcome.

Agree with the Dye migration. Be very careful and use a good block out film.

Use whatever white vinyl your supplier recommends for sportswear. Keep the temperature and time as low and as short as the film will allow to minimise migration issues.
DON'T use standard white garment flex. The heat from the pressing will probably cause the camo dye to soak through the flex and give it a camo look.

If you don't know what dye migration is ( sorry if you do) it is when the dye in the fabric heats up ( via heat pressing a transfer or curing a screenprint) and turns to gas. The gas will permeate the vinyl or ink, causing it to discolour. It is not an insurmountable problem, but specialist vinyl and ink are needed. Dye migration is usually associated with brightly coloured polyester rich garments, but can also occur in overdyed cotton garments, such as these rotary printed Ethicstar camo tees.

That is an incredible post and full of value, thank you so very much. I'm sure this will also help others in the future when searching for issues like this.

Would there be any recommendations as to where and what to purchase in a quest to obtain the block out film for high dye sportswear?

Most vinyl manufacturers and wholesaler have a block out vinyl. MDP Supplies sell theirs simply as ' Hot Flex Block out', Siser have 'Ink Block PS'. Xpres probably have half a dozen blockout films, just to confuse matters as they usually do.
