we are having great debate at Logobear about the 'best' tshirt to stock........ and how to judge!
We used to love the haynes Top T - but it became very expensive and Pencarrie stopped stocking them.
So switched to the Fruit SS6 which is very ok - but george & I joke that you get 'nipple burn' when you wear them as they feel rough inside.
I was given samples of BA190 and loved the feel and wear but they are 50% more expensive so we thought we might shift to the B&C collection BA150 which is quite good on price & quality and does loads of fab colours.
HOWEAVER - when we were doing a 100 white t's with laser TTC last saturday - the BA150's had a few white specs on the printed black areas, - although the cotton feels loverly and soft, there must be some tiny speks of lint on the surface, and when you press them with ttc the spec lifts and leaves an unprinted spot.
As you know, Logobear is a retail shop, and we have to present our product face2face. Fruit is easy to sell, it is a familiar brand, though more so with 40+ ages, the main buyers - ie <40years do not have the same brand loyalties...... but in my heart, I don't like the SS6 coz of the nipple burn!
So - I thought I would ask what DyeSubForum have as their fave t-shirt?
Punters 'feel' quality and mistakenly associate thickness with quality ( thou in reality the inverse is often true)
price is a factor, lower is better.
A familiar brand is easier to sell than a random.
It is all about print quality - how the garment takes laser transferes TTC, OBM, cut vinyl, wow etc
Any thoughts?
