T-shirt manufacturer

[bkkrun]

I need to find manufacturer for my own custom design t-shirt in Thailand or nearby countries. Any recommendations?

Go to Platinum, ask around at the shops. They will do it for you.

go to your local store , buy samples in the material weight your customers expect ,

then but 3 shirts each size you are going to stock , wash one of them to see how much it shrinks....

take all your samples with you as Thai sizes are not Western sizes , have some samples sewn to match your samples ( may need to take samples apart for pattern )

check your new sewn samples with what you gave them to copy , wash the samples and check sizes , they may shrink more than you expect.......

adjust patterns to how much they shrink......

now wash your sewn samples 5-10 times or more times and see if they look like CR*P.......or the color changes too much , if they do start again.....

Forget everything I said if these are just cheap giveaway t shirts except for sizing........

So it looks like no one can recommend a manufacturer, just retailers (who will want their cut) and a very good way to check the quality.

Good luck

i googled "t-shirt maker thailand" and several potentially suitable companies were among the first hits

its hard to just say one shop without information ,

its not a fly in to BKK, take a taxi to the shop , do the deal and fly home......

you need to do some legwork to see the quality you want and what is the normal T shirt they are selling to Thais and if that works for you......

plus its often better to work with someone who is doing 1000s of shirts and add your order to that , main reason is the sewing shop will not want to screw over a big customer who does repeat orders , they are not going to feel the same way about your 1 time order..... this is for any item , not just clothes

there are a lot of shops in Bo Bae tower that do shirts , go walk around there
