OMG, it's freezing! Winter fashion time!
Hey you! Just stepped outside and nearly turned into a popsicle! Got me thinking about our winter wardrobes. Are you ready for this fashion download?
Layering life
Dude, remember when we tried to leave the house in just hoodies? Mom was right (don't tell her I said that ). Layering is where it's at!
- Start with that old band tee (you know, the one with the holes )
- Chuck on a sweater (the uglier the better )
- Top it off with a jacket (more on that in a second)
Boom! You're a human onion! (But like, a stylish one )
Wholesale Jacket jellies
Okay, it's wholesale jacket time! These are the real MVPs of winter. Without 'em, we'd be human icicles!
Puffer jackets: Marshmallow realness
Have you seen these? Like walking around in a duvet! Perfect for those "I can't even" days. Plus, if you fall, you bounce right back up! #winning
Wool coats: Fancy schmancy
When you want to feel like you've got your together, strut down the street like you're in a movie! Just don't spill your coffee on it. Dry cleaning bills =
Parkas: Snowpocalypse ready
For when winter is more "Day After Tomorrow" than "Winter Wonderland" So. Many. Pockets. You could survive the apocalypse with all the snacks you can fit in there!
Leather jackets: Cool factor 100
Wanna look tough? Leather's got your back. But maybe save it for those "warm" winter days. You know, when it's only slightly below freezing!
Teddy coats: Actual hugs
Remember Mr. Snuggles, your old teddy bear? He grew up and became a coat! Warning: May cause spontaneous naps in public.
Shearling jackets: Urban lumberjack vibes
For when you wanna feel rugged, but the only wood you're chopping is your IKEA furniture.
Bulk Hoodie love
Bulk blank Hoodies are life! Perfect for:
- Netflix binges
- Hiding from the world
- Pretending you didn't just roll out of bed (we know the truth)
Boot scootin'
Winter boots = non-negotiable. Unless you want toes that match your blue jeans!
- Combat boots: For kicking winter's butt!
- Fuzzy boots: Like a hug for your feet
- Chelsea boots: Instant rock star status (even if you're just going to Starbucks)
Accessories or survival gear?
Don't forget the finishing touches!
- Beanies: Bad hair day saviors
- Scarves: Wearable blankets
- Gloves: Touch screen friendly, because how else would you text me?
That's the scoop, bestie! Winter fashion = looking hot while it's freezing! Stay warm out there, you stylish snowflake!
P.S. If all else fails, just stay in bed until spring. It's a valid fashion choice.

What's the deal with plain tees?
We often get folks visiting our website on the lookout for a good deal on tees, and notice right away that we specialize in what the industry calls “blanks,” but what they call “plain t-shirts.” Most people these days wear snazzy tees with bright logos of their favorite sports team or business. Sometimes these folks wonder if buying our blanks, our plain t-shirts, is worth it—aren’t plain tees just plain.

ᨳ♡₊➳ choso x reader
ᨳ♡₊➳ crack, fluff
"Halloween is a time for joy, costumes, and most importantly—free candy. But when Choso discovers that adults aren’t allowed to trick-or-treat, devastation ensues. Now, it’s up to you to gaslight, manipulate, and lie your way through an entire neighborhood. He’s getting that candy. No matter what."
ᨳ♡₊➳ a/n: based off of this ask!
You were not prepared for this.
You had woken up that morning with the same expectations as any other responsible adult on Halloween: binge-watch some horror movies that you had already seen twenty times, gorge yourself on the local store's finest selection of bulk discount candy, and ignore the 50+ trick-or-treaters outside by pretending you weren’t home. Simple. Predictable. Peaceful.
What you had not anticipated, however, was the scenario currently unfolding in front of you.
Because standing at your front door, illuminated by the warm glow of your porch light, was a very large, very ominous, very serious-looking man—clutching a tiny plastic pumpkin bucket in his hands like it was his most prized possession.
Choso.
And he was in a full costume.
Not just a lazy "I’m wearing cat ears, so technically I dressed up" kind of costume. No, this was handcrafted. Like someone had spent hours—maybe days—painstakingly assembling it, piece by piece, with the dedication of an over-caffeinated cosplayer on a deadline.
And that someone, apparently, was Choso.
He was dressed as a bat. Or maybe a vampire bat. Some kind of bat-adjacent creature. The details were immaculate—stitched wings attached to a black hoodie, little bat ears perched on top of the hood. You recalled a vague conversation where he had solemnly informed you that he learned about vampire bats on the internet and felt a deep, personal kinship with them due to their connection with blood. You had assumed he was joking. You now realized you had been a fool.
The most jarring part, though? The way he was just standing there. Expectant. Silent. Like a Victorian orphan who had just knocked on a bakery window, waiting for a kind-hearted stranger to toss him a loaf of bread.
“I am ready,” Choso announced, lifting up his little plastic pumpkin bucket.
“For what?” you asked, even though you already knew.
“To trick-or-treat.”
You stared at him. He stared back, utterly unphased, like this was the most normal request in the world.
You were the first to break. "Why?"
Choso tightened his grip on the bucket, his face as blank as ever. "Because I, too, would like free candy."
That was it. That was his entire reasoning. No further explanation. No additional context. Just that.
And, honestly? Respect.
Unfortunately, there was a flaw in his plan.
You let the silence settle between you before sighing, already feeling the impending heartbreak of what you had to say. "Choso, uh… trick-or-treating is for kids."
Silence.
Choso’s entire body went rigid.
“…Oh,” he said softly.
Oh.
Oh no.
His expression didn’t change much—because, well, it was Choso—but the shift in his aura was instant. The sheer, unfiltered heartbreak radiating off of him was enough to physically knock the wind out of you.
It was devastating.
You had just emotionally obliterated a 150-year-old man with the cold, cruel truth of modern society.
You had crushed him.
The light in his eyes dimmed immediately, his broad shoulders slumped, and his grip on his tiny plastic pumpkin bucket slackened ever so slightly. If Choso were a dog, his tail would’ve stopped wagging and dropped between his legs. He just stood there, looking at you like a kid who just found out Santa wasn’t real, but worse.
"But… there were other adults dressed up," he said, slower this time, as if he was carefully laying down his evidence in a court case. “I just… I thought…” His voice was quieter now. “I thought humans gave candy to people who asked nicely.”
Oh, Christ.
You felt your soul leave your body.
You hesitated, debating how to phrase your next words without causing further irreparable damage to this already emotionally fragile situation. "...Yeah, but—" You winced as his expression somehow got even sadder. "Some adults dress up, but they don’t actually get candy. It’s more for the kids—"
Choso looked like you had just personally stolen Christmas, burned the last existing copy of his favorite book, and drop-kicked his childhood dreams off a cliff. Like all 150 years of his life had been leading up to this moment, and you had just yanked it away from him.
This was a disaster.
And suddenly, you were spiraling.
Because how could you let this happen? How could you look this poor man in the face—the same poor man who had meticulously sewn bat wings onto a hoodie with his own two hands—who had never celebrated a human holiday in his life and deny him the one thing he wanted most in the world?
No. Absolutely not.
"Y'know what? Screw it," you blurted out, already grabbing your coat. "We’re going trick-or-treating."
Choso’s perked up immediately. "We are?"
"Yeah! Of course!" You grabbed your keys, practically shoving him out the door. "You deserve this, dammit. You made a costume! You're getting some goddamn candy!"
He still looked hesitant. "But… you said only children—"
"Listen," you interrupted, gripping both of his shoulders like a commander about to send a soldier into battle. "I am about to lie so hard for you. No one will question it. We are getting you that candy, even if I have to gaslight an entire neighborhood."
Choso stared at you, his dark brown eyes flickering with the tiniest bit of hope and gratitude. The relief that crossed his face was subtle, but it was there. He looked down at his pumpkin bucket, then back at you.
“…Thank you,” he murmured, soft and sincere.
You swore on your life in that moment: this man would not return home empty-handed.
Even if you had to commit minor fraud, threaten a few suburban dads, and launch an elaborate con involving fake IDs, Choso was getting his damn candy.
The first house you went to was owned by a sweet-looking old woman, who, upon opening the door, looked utterly baffled to find a six-foot, broad-shouldered, fully-grown man in a bat costume standing on her porch.
It was a level of confusion that could only be described as existential.
Her gaze flickered between you and Choso. Then back at you. Then back at Choso, as if she were trying to determine whether she had just walked into a prank show or a very specific fever dream.
Choso, ever patient, just stood there in total silence. Staring. His plastic pumpkin bucket held out expectantly, like some kind of summoned demon awaiting orders.
"Go ahead, honey. Say the thing!" You nudged Choso gently, as if prompting a very large, very stoic toddler.
Choso took this as his cue. "Trick-or-treat," he said, his voice completely monotone. It was less of a festive exclamation and more of a solemn decree, like he was passing a legal verdict instead of asking for candy.
The old woman blinked. Slowly. Processing.
“…Isn’t he a bit old for this?” she finally asked, her voice laced with cautious suspicion.
You gasped dramatically, clutching your chest as if she had just slapped you across the face with a rolled-up newspaper. "How dare you! Are you… ageist?" You took an exaggerated step forward, lowering your voice. "Are you discriminating against my son?"
The old woman narrowed her eyes. “Your… son?”
"Yes! My sweet, precious boy! He just… grew a little too fast, okay?" You turned to Choso and squinted at him, as if mentally calculating. "He’s only—" (Quick, what was a reasonable child height-to-muscle-mass ratio?) "—twelve."
Choso, a fully grown man with a deep voice and with the physique of someone who could deadlift an entire car, nodded solemnly despite having no idea what was going on. "I drink a lot of calcium."
The old woman was now fully in crisis mode. You could see the internal debate happening behind her eyes: If this is a joke, it’s a weird one. If it’s not a joke, I can’t risk offending them. What if they sue? What if this is one of those TikTok social experiments? What if I end up on the news?
In the end, her survival instincts kicked in, and she relented with a resigned sigh, dropping a handful of candy into Choso’s bucket.
"Thank you," Choso said politely, bowing slightly like he had just received a sacred offering.
And then you both booked it before she could start asking for birth certificates.
Success.
At the next house, a middle-aged man answered the door, taking one look at Choso and immediately frowning. “Aren’t you a little—"
You cut him off immediately. "He has Benjamin Button disease."
The man’s mouth clamped shut.
Choso nodded again, his expression the picture of solemn tragedy. "It is very unfortunate."
The guy hesitated. He looked between the two of you, unsure whether to call BS or just accept this bizarre reality. After a beat, he slowly reached into his candy bowl and placed a handful of sweets into Choso’s bucket.
"Much appreciated," Choso said, as if concluding a business transaction.
And so it continued.
You and Choso went door to door, blatantly lying to every single person you met with reckless abandon.
One woman hesitated before handing over the candy. "But… he’s clearly an adult."
You gasped, scandalized. "Are you implying my son is ugly? That he looks old?"
Choso, ever the picture of unwavering composure, simply added, "That is very rude."
Faced with the sheer emotional weight of your combined performance, the woman panicked and shoved extra candy into Choso’s bucket out of pure, unfiltered guilt.
Another house was occupied by an absolute hardliner—an older man who refused to budge, arms crossed as he sized Choso up like a bouncer at a club.
"Look, kid," the man said, voice gruff. "I’m not giving candy to adults. It’s for the kids."
You shook your head, sighing deeply like you were about to drop some heartbreaking exposé. "Some people just don’t believe in the spirit of Halloween anymore," you lamented. "Some people just hate seeing others happy."
Choso frowned, looking like a kicked puppy. "It is a shame."
Crushed beneath the weight of the guilt-trip you had so expertly wielded, the man folded immediately.
"Fine, fine—just take the candy and leave," he grumbled, tossing a generous handful into Choso’s bucket.
At one point, a particularly skeptical guy gave Choso a long, hard stare. “That's no twelve year old. He’s literally so much taller than you!"
"And? Are you saying short people can’t be parents?" you demanded, voice rising in offense.
The guy, now visibly distressed at this unexpected turn of events, sputtered. "Uh—"
"I can’t believe this," you continued, shaking your head. "What year is it? I thought we were past this."
The guy, absolutely not wanting to deal with whatever this was, hastily threw an entire bag of Skittles into Choso’s bucket.
Choso, ever polite, bowed again. "Thank you."
This continued for sixteen more houses.
By now, it was a well-oiled machine—your chaotic schemes paired perfectly with Choso’s unwavering, deadpan delivery.
Each interaction followed a strict, scientifically proven formula:
1. The door would open.
2. The person would look up.
3. They would freeze upon seeing Choso.
4. Choso would hold out his pumpkin bucket, say, “Trick or treat,” with all the enthusiasm of an office worker forced into mandatory team bonding, and then just… wait.
5. You would improvise an absolutely insane lie to justify his presence.
It was performance art.
By the time you reached the sixteenth house, your credibility as a law-abiding citizen had been annihilated beyond repair.
Through it all, Choso remained the unwavering pillar of calm. He never faltered. Never broke character. Just stood there, nodding occasionally, completely unbothered as you burned every social bridge you had ever built in this neighborhood.
But it was worth it.
Because by the end of the night, his pumpkin bucket was overflowing.
As the two of you walked home under the soft glow of streetlights, the sound of rustling candy wrappers filling the air, Choso cradled his bucket with both hands, his grip careful, reverent—like a dragon hoarding its most prized treasure.
He was cradling it.
Like a newborn.
You bit back a grin.
"That was fun," Choso murmured at last.
His voice, as always, was calm, neutral, and completely void of inflection—but the way he held that candy? The way his fingers curled around the handle of his bucket just a little tighter?
Yeah. You could tell.
He was overjoyed.
"You had a good time?" you asked, grinning.
He nodded. "Yes." Then, after a pause, "Humans have good traditions sometimes."
You chuckled. "Yeah. Sometimes we do."
A comfortable silence stretched between you as you walked. Then, after a long moment of thought, Choso reached into his bucket, his expression unreadable.
And pulled out a small, single pack of Skittles.
He held it out to you.
"For you," he said simply.
You blinked. "Wait. Are you—are you sharing your candy with me?"
Choso nodded. "You helped me get it."
You took the Skittles, deeply touched.
Sure, you had just humiliated yourself in front of your entire neighborhood. Sure, you were probably banned from at least twelve houses.
But seeing Choso happy? Seeing him fully experience Halloween, free candy in hand, the faintest ghost of a smile softening his normally blank expression?
Totally worth it.
Because Choso deserved good things.
And if that meant gaslighting an entire suburban neighborhood into believing he was a very large, very muscular twelve-year-old?
Then so be it.

I think the idea of your tits being big and jiggly and distractions and the idea of getting too dumb to continue school go so wonderfully together.
Just picture it. Sitting in the back of the lecture hall, wearing a big hoodie to cover up the fact that your tits have swollen to the point of outgrowing pretty much everything else in your wardrobe. Going braless has always been a distraction, but at this size? Every time you move your arm, you can feel it squishing against the side of your breast, distracting you, reminding that your "manhood", what little of it there ever was, has been replaced with this. You try your best to concentrate, you really do. But your nipples get stiff and drag along the fabric on the inside of your shirt and suddenly your girly pussy is needy and wet. You look left and right, hoping that no one is paying attention to you, and slip your hand back, teasing your nipple through your clothes. The fabric muffled the sensations but the fact that you're doing it in the middle of class makes it all the more exciting. It doesn't take long for the professor's words to slip into the background as you roll your hips, trying your best not to moan. But you know that, if you did, it would be needy and feminine, betraying your gender transition even further. The same story that plays out in class gets an encore when you try to do homework. And exams are more brutal than ever. You've conditioned yourself to play with your tits, to make them jiggle, every time you need to concentrate. The shame and humiliation when the time ends and you hand in a nearly blank exam, having spent the bulk of the allotted time playing with yourself. When the academic punishment comes, your coursework and education neglected to the point of expulsion, you feel a strange sense of relief.
You don't have to pretend to care about learning anymore. Now you can play with your tits whenever you want.
this is so hot omg, wouldnt it be soo cute if i failed uni because my tits were just too distracting? i know i shouldnt tempt fate any more than i already am but maybe every time i try to focus on being smart i should just jiggle my tits instead...

Would love to be a hot wrestler in a wrestling singlet. Is this possible?
It's been a while since I last had an order of singlets, but I'm sure that I can find an old one of mine that you can borrow. A nimble fella like yourself should look into bulking up a bit - especially if you want to be in action on the team!
- -
Almost forgetting about the odd exchange at the gym until you were about to go to bed, you pulled the singlet out of your gym bag. You had a strange memory of being asked for something in return, but your mind went blank whenever you thought of what it was… nevertheless, feeling the fabric in your hands, you thought it would only be right to give the singlet a try on your next visit to the gym.

When the day came, your heart wanted to start racing as the tight fabric stretched across your legs and torso, but it never came. With a feeling of disappointment, both in yourself and the singlet itself, you realised that you didn't feel or look like the hot wrestlers you lusted after. Determined, and somewhat inspired by all of the 'New Year New You' content that had been everywhere this month, you took out your phone and snapped a pic for yourself. Clear that if you dared to share the image on social media, the ridicule from your friendship group would make you leave you even more crushed.
With a deep sigh, you pulled on a big hoodie and shorts, dumped two extra scoops of protein powder into your cup, and connected your headphones to the gym speaker system before leaving the locker room.

Within the first fifteen minutes, you started to feel the strangest effects surge through you. You could only compare it to being over-caffeinated, but you felt pure energy and confidence surging through you like electricity re-charging a battery. Smashing your last set, you pulled off your hoodie as you walked over to the water fountain for a break, and caught your reflection in the mirror. You don't have to worry about your friends any more - if anyone is doing the crushing, it's you.

What is the Profit Margin on T-Shirt Printing?
T-shirt printing has become a booming business worldwide, with countless entrepreneurs tapping into this profitable industry. Whether you're a startup or an established brand, understanding the profit margin on T-shirt printing is crucial for long-term success. From material costs to printing techniques and pricing strategies, several factors influence your bottom line.
In this guide, we'll break down the key components that impact profit margins and how working with t shirt manufacturers in Chennai can help maximize your earnings.
Factors That Influence Profit Margin in T-Shirt Printing
1. Cost of Materials & Manufacturing
The primary cost in T-shirt printing is the blank T-shirts. Prices vary depending on the fabric, quality, and supplier. Typically, wholesale T-shirts cost between ₹100 to ₹400 per piece. Bulk purchasing from reputed t shirt manufacturers in Chennai can significantly reduce costs and increase profit margins.
2. Printing Method Used
Different printing techniques have varying costs and profit margins:
Screen Printing – Best for bulk orders; lower cost per unit, but high initial setup costs.
Direct-to-Garment (DTG) Printing – Ideal for smaller orders; higher per-unit cost but allows detailed designs.
Heat Transfer Printing – Affordable but less durable.
Sublimation Printing – Best for polyester fabrics; vibrant and long-lasting prints.
Choosing the right method based on your target market and order volume is essential for maximizing profits.
3. Labor and Overhead Costs
Labor costs, electricity, rent, and marketing expenses also impact profitability. Partnering with t shirt manufacturers in Chennai can help streamline production, reduce operational costs, and improve efficiency.
4. Pricing Strategy
The selling price of custom-printed T-shirts depends on factors like design complexity, brand positioning, and target audience. A standard formula for pricing is:
Most businesses maintain a profit margin of 30% to 60%, but premium brands can push margins beyond 100%.
5. Order Volume & Bulk Discounts
Higher order volumes lead to lower production costs per unit. Many t shirt manufacturers in Chennai offer bulk discounts, allowing businesses to increase their profit margins on larger orders.
Profit Margin Calculation Example
Let's consider a scenario:
Blank T-shirt cost: ₹200
Printing cost: ₹80
Overhead costs (labor, rent, marketing): ₹50
Total production cost: ₹330
Selling price: ₹600
Profit per T-shirt: ₹600 - ₹330 = ₹270
Profit Margin = (₹270 / ₹600) × 100 = 45%
If you scale production and negotiate better rates with t shirt manufacturers in Chennai, you can further reduce costs and increase profits.
Maximizing Your Profit in T-Shirt Printing
1. Choose the Right Suppliers
Sourcing high-quality yet cost-effective blanks from t shirt manufacturers in Chennai can help improve your profit margin.
2. Offer Bulk Discounts
Encourage customers to place bulk orders with tiered pricing models to boost revenue.
3. Diversify Your Offerings
Expanding your product line with hoodies, sweatshirts, and custom accessories can increase sales and profits.
4. Optimize Marketing Strategies
Investing in digital marketing, SEO, and social media ads can increase brand visibility and attract more customers.
5. Reduce Waste and Overhead Costs
Efficient inventory management and streamlined operations can minimize unnecessary expenses.
Conclusion
The profit margin on T-shirt printing depends on multiple factors, including material costs, printing techniques, and business strategies. By sourcing quality products from t shirt manufacturers in Chennai, implementing smart pricing strategies, and optimizing production efficiency, businesses can achieve high profitability in the T-shirt printing industry.
Looking to start or scale your T-shirt printing business? Partner with leading t shirt manufacturers in Chennai today and take your brand to the next level!

Wholesale clothing for printing best blank wholesale apparel options
Wholesale clothing for printing is essential for businesses, brands, and individuals looking to create custom design on apparel. It provides a cost-effective solution while maintaining quality. Choosing the right wholesale clothing for printing ensures durability, comfort, and a smooth surface for ink adhesion.

Factors to Consider When Selecting Blank Wholesale apparel
When selecting blank wholesale apparel, fabric quality, fit, and color variety play a significant role. Cotton, polyester, and blended fabric offer different benefits, from breathability to moisture-wicking properties. The thickness of fabric also affects how well it holds print and maintains its original look after multiple washes.
Best Fabric for Printing on Wholesale clothing
The type of fabric greatly impacts the printing result. Cotton provides a soft feel and absorbs ink well, making it ideal for screen printing. Polyester is lightweight, moisture-resistant, and works well with sublimation printing. A cotton-polyester blend balances softness and durability, making it versatile for different printing techniques.
Popular Blank Wholesale apparel Styles for Custom Print
Wholesale clothing for printing comes in various styles, including t-shirt, hoodie, sweatshirt, and tank top. A t-shirt is the most common choice due to its versatility. A hoodie offers warmth and comfort, making it popular for casual wear. A sweatshirt provides a relaxed fit and is ideal for colder seasons. A tank top is a great choice for summer wear and athletic activities.
Benefits of Buying Blank Wholesale apparel in Bulk
Purchasing wholesale clothing for printing in bulk reduces cost per unit, making it budget-friendly. Bulk buying also ensures consistency in fabric, color, and fit across all apparel. It allows for greater profit margins when reselling custom design. Additionally, ordering in bulk minimizes production delays, ensuring a steady supply for printing projects.

I get a lot of startup founders wanting to make custom t-shirts. And when I suggest they go the organic cotton t-shirt wholesale route, so they can buy t-shirt blanks for a fraction of the price it would cost to develop them from scratch… their answer is usually, “Absolutely not.” “My brand is special,” they say. “My brand needs a custom fit and will have only premium fabrics. No one will take my brand seriously if I use pre-made shirts.” But as someone who has been in this industry for well over a decade, I can tell you that this mindset is so, so wrong. Learning how to understand the world of t-shirt blanks could be the difference between a brand that launches and is successful for years to come, and a brand that fizzles out before they get their first sale. So, if you have been thinking about starting a sustainable t-shirt brand, this post will cover everything you are going to need to know. BUT BEFORE WE GET STARTED... I love helping startup brand founders succeed, so I created a bunch of free guides that will help you with your business. They won’t be free forever, so make sure to grab them while you can. What You’ll Learn: My inspiration for this post (because I know some of you like hearing the tea before I get into the fashion details) What are blanks, and how are they used in the industry The pros of using blanks The cons of using blanks Looking for blanks? – here is who I recommend NO TIME TO READ? CHECK OUT THIS 60 SECOND RECAP... I DIDN’T REALIZE I WAS ON THIS T-SHIRT SUPPLIER’S RADAR . . . Oh, little old me? Even though I should kind of be used to it by now, I still get surprised when people know who I am. A little bit ago, I even got stopped on my run because someone recognized me. Anyway. I get so many spammy emails from brands asking me to feature them on the blog. And I rarely respond. I just delete them. Because, honestly, they are a bunch of buzzwords and greenwashing. You know the type – we invented the most sustainable hoodie ever, and our clothes empower women . . . buzzword, buzzword, buzzword. But the other day, I got excited when I recognized the brand on the other end of the email for once – Original Favorites. Because, for years, I have recommended that my clients and students check out Original Favorites for organic cotton blanks. SO, WHAT ARE T-SHIRT BLANKS? Blanks are pretty much what they sound like. Blank garments that are ready for customizations like screen printing and or dying - they are literally a blank canvas. It’s kind of like buying a 5-pack of Hanes Deep V-necks (literally my uniform in college, along with some Hard Tail leggings and Ugg boots). Except it’s on a bigger scale, A LOT cheaper, and blanks are intended for brands to purchase and customize. How it all works is that a company, like Original Favorites, puts in a huge order for a few styles of t-shirt blanks. Because their order is so big, they get really good prices on the shirts throughout the entire supply chain. From fabric to sewing to shipping – the bigger the order, the better the prices. So, they take advantage of that. They then pass on those giant bulk order savings to you and take a small cut. So instead of you having to order tens or hundreds of thousands of the same shirt to get a good price, you can order just a few – like 10, and still get a much lower price than you would ever be able to get trying to produce 10 t-shirts on your own (I’ll break down the math in just a minute). Blanks are made to be customized. So, you can add your own designs and even labels. And the cool thing is, blanks aren’t just for t-shirts. You can buy blanks in almost any type of garment. Scarves, dresses, skirts, sweatpants, hoodies, polo shirts, tote bags – the options are limitless. 4 PROS OF USING T-SHIRT BLANKS 1. NO DEVELOPMENT COSTS A lot goes into developing a single t-shirt. And if everything is custom, there isn’t much you can do to cut development corners. You need to source everything, have patterns made and graded, and have various samples made to check the fit. Then, you need to make sure there are no issues for your customer. This gets pretty expensive, especially when you are making garments domestically. In the United States or Europe, this will all cost anywhere from about $400 - $1,000 just for a t-shirt. And developing more technical items could cost up to $3,000, depending on who you work with and how complex the garment is. The other thing worth mentioning is that development costs are fixed. So it costs the same whether you develop 100 shirts or 10,000 shirts. Here is how the development costs of a shirt break down... For example, say it costs you $500 to do all the development work and perfect your t-shirt and you only want to make 50 pieces. And in production, each piece is $10. Well, on top of the $10 production price, you would need to add in your development cost. So, $500 divided by 50 is $10. That means the real cost of each production piece is $10 plus $10 for development = $20 total. Now, if you are making 1,000 pieces, we would take the $500 divided by 1,000 pieces, and the development cost per piece would be just 50 cents. So, your total unit cost would be $10 plus $0.50, which is a total of $10.50 per piece. To be clear, I would never recommend a new startup brand buy 1,000 units on their first order. But hopefully, you get the point I am trying to make . . . development costs are costs that effect your bottom line, and they are expensive! So, by using blanks, new brands can completely cut out that development cost, lower the overall cost of their product, and still get low MOQs (minimum order quantities). 2. NO SURPRISES Even if you work with the best factories, I can promise you that things will not be perfect. In your sample and development process, there will always be small things you need to tweak or reevaluate. And that is exactly why you must have a development and sampling stage and can’t skip it. One of the most disheartening things for new brands is when they finally open their box of samples after months of work and feel like everything is wrong. Us industry pros know that it’s all part of the garment game – alterations need to be made and new samples need to be submitted for approval. But for newbies, it is sometimes so disheartening (and expensive) that they give up completely. The other scary thing that sometimes happens is brands will think they have a perfect sample, place their production order, and then realize something is wrong after they receive their bulk order. Now, they have hundreds of defective t-shirts to deal with. When you are buying t-shirt blanks, you know exactly what you are getting. You can buy a few (like 1 or 2), make sure you absolutely love them, and then buy larger quantities. And the best part? Every time you reorder, you have the assurance that you are getting the exact same item because someone else is taking care of all the quality assurance for you. 3. THE BEST PRICING ON SMALL ORDERS I already told you about how much money you can save in the development process by using t-shirt blanks. Now, let’s talk about how much more money you can save on production. Here is the reality of fashion and the secret behind why fast fashion and other big brands can offer such low prices. The more you buy, the more you save. That is for a few reasons. Let’s start with the fabric. When you give a fabric mill a huge fabric order, they can program the machines once and let them run day and night (new fabric orders require cleaning the machine, re-programming the machine, and in general, a lot of downtime). It is extremely efficient to run just one fabric for a long time for big orders. And the more efficient you can be, the faster things can get made, and the more money you can save. People become more efficient too Garment sewing at a factory becomes more efficient with larger orders as well. Factories like big orders because it gives their workers time to get good at making your product. If you only want 50 pieces, by the time the workers find their groove, the order is done. But with an order of 10,000 pieces, every day, the workers get better and better at making the product from all of the repetition. They also get quicker, so you get a lower price. Factory workers can go from making 15 pieces daily to 30 just by repetition and getting to know the product inside and out. On large orders, when workers become masters at making your product, the work becomes almost mindless for them. They can laugh, joke, and listen to podcasts while working. So, when you order blanks, you get a product that’s been replicated many times and produced more cheaply, thereby cutting production costs for you and your customer. Versus placing a small custom order with a factory, which means garment sewing will take longer and production costs will be higher. 4. GREAT FOR RE-ORDERS Worried about selling out fast and running out of product? When you have a custom order and want to order more, it can take quite a bit of time. You first need to re-order the fabric, which can take anywhere from a month to 3 months. Then, the shirts need to be sewn, which could take another month or two. With blanks, they are usually always in stock. So as soon as you need more, you can order them and get them immediately. This can be great for customer retention because, the longer customers have to wait for a product on backorder, the less likely they are to place their order. It’s also great for your cash flow because it allows you to get product out quickly and not tie it up while waiting for new items to be made. 2 MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT USING T-SHIRT BLANKS 1. “NO CUSTOM FITS OR FABRICS MEANS MY CUSTOMER WON’T GET WHAT THEY NEED” “But Melanie, I have done all the research, and know that the exact shirt I want to develop isn’t out there right now. There is a need for my custom design.” Here is a hard dose of reality. I need you to check your ego and listen up. I get that you want to make the same shirt you have in your closet, but you want the sleeves 1 inch longer, the body 2 inches shorter, and the fabric just slightly heavier. Because, then, it will fit you perfectly. But here’s the thing. Most people who are buying your shirt do not have your exact measurements. When you make those sleeves 1 inch shorter, even though they’ll fit YOU perfectly, they might be way too short for someone else (read, a paying customer). The truth is, blank companies have done all the research. They are so confident in their research that they’re ordering probably millions of units of the same style. They know what sells. Lean into that expertise. “From operating their clothing brand, our founders realized the perennial items that sold-out every season were t-shirts and hoodies. They're the most accessible styles for any demographic and often the most-worn and loved by customers. We expanded our fleece styles from there but never ventured too far away from the classics and never changed our silhouette.” Rachel, Original Favorties What that means is that based on tons of sales data from their past and current businesses Orignal Favorites was able to assess what customer really want and make that. 2. “PEOPLE WILL THINK I'M NOT A ‘REAL’ BRAND” Yes, you will. Period. Full stop. If you are making printed t-shirts, all people really care about is the print or the logo. That is what they are buying. I have one student in LMCL who started her business using a print-on-demand service (basically, a company that will print your designs on blanks). And, IMO, it was the smart thing to do. While others were struggling with their first patterns, she was already testing product. And when her cohorts were finally just launching, she was already scaling and hiring her first employee. The bottom line. Using this method allowed this student to launch and scale quickly, and her customers didn’t even know she was cutting design corners. Think about it. The last time you bought a shirt with a cute design on it, did you email the brand to confirm they paid for the development and design of the shirt? No. Because that would be bananas. So, if you don’t shop that way, why do you think your customers would? I’m telling you, top brands do this to make their lives easier - and you should be considering it too! The other cool thing with blanks is that with a lot of them, their labels are meant to be ripped out, so you can sew in your own brand label. If you sew in your own label, this gives the final product a more branded and polished look. MY FAVORITE T-SHIRT BLANK SUPPLIERS Okay, now that you know all of the pros and cons of using shirt blanks and why I love them, here are a few of my favorites (move over Gildan and Bella Canvas) for women, men, unisex,and even kids! But one last tip before I go. With blanks fiber content is important for the type of printing you plan to use. If you want sublimation printing for vivid colors and detailed photoreal designs, you will probably need to use 100% polyester. So, if an eco product is what you’re after, screen prints, and some types of digital prints can be done on blends and pure cotton. ORIGINAL FAVORITES Organic cotton and Supima blank options at competitive prices. And, with this brand, you don't have to stress about your supply chain practices because you know you are getting sustainable t-shirt blanks! Bonus, they have pre-vetted resources to help you customize your blank apparel, like printers, dyers, and more! PS - Did you like the blanks in the pictures on this post? They are all from Orginal Favorties! HEA NOW Because they work with Chetna farms (which I love), these blanks are made using Indian Chetna 100% cotton, which is not just organic but also biodynamic! And, they even come in different colors to choose from, so you can skip the garment dying and print right on top CREATE FASHION BRAND For my European readers. These are some of the best quality blanks you can get in Portugal. They are known for their heavy cotton jersey fabric options. And as an added bonus, they even do low MOQ custom orders! DHARMA TRADING For everything blanks and wholesale clothing, not just short sleeve t-shirts – I’m talking dresses, scarves, tank tops, etc. So much blank variety on this site! WHAT DO YOU THINK?

If you want sublimation printing for vivid colors and detailed photoreal designs, you will probably need to use 100% polyester. So, if an eco product is what you’re after, screen prints, and some types of digital prints can be done on blends and pure cotton. ORIGINAL FAVORITES Organic cotton and Supima blank options at competitive prices. And, with this brand, you don't have to stress about your supply chain practices because you know you are getting sustainable t-shirt blanks! Bonus, they have pre-vetted resources to help you customize your blank apparel, like printers, dyers, and more! PS - Did you like the blanks in the pictures on this post? They are all from Orginal Favorties! HEA NOW Because they work with Chetna farms (which I love), these blanks are made using Indian Chetna 100% cotton, which is not just organic but also biodynamic! And, they even come in different colors to choose from, so you can skip the garment dying and print right on top CREATE FASHION BRAND For my European readers. These are some of the best quality blanks you can get in Portugal. They are known for their heavy cotton jersey fabric options. And as an added bonus, they even do low MOQ custom orders!

I get a lot of startup founders wanting to make custom t-shirts. And when I suggest they go the organic cotton t-shirt wholesale route, so they can buy t-shirt blanks for a fraction of the price it would cost to develop them from scratch… their answer is usually, “Absolutely not.” “My brand is special,” they say. “My brand needs a custom fit and will have only premium fabrics. No one will take my brand seriously if I use pre-made shirts.” But as someone who has been in this industry for well over a decade, I can tell you that this mindset is so, so wrong. Learning how to understand the world of t-shirt blanks could be the difference between a brand that launches and is successful for years to come, and a brand that fizzles out before they get their first sale. So, if you have been thinking about starting a sustainable t-shirt brand, this post will cover everything you are going to need to know. BUT BEFORE WE GET STARTED... I love helping startup brand founders succeed, so I created a bunch of free guides that will help you with your business. They won’t be free forever, so make sure to grab them while you can. What You’ll Learn: My inspiration for this post (because I know some of you like hearing the tea before I get into the fashion details) What are blanks, and how are they used in the industry The pros of using blanks The cons of using blanks Looking for blanks? – here is who I recommend NO TIME TO READ? CHECK OUT THIS 60 SECOND RECAP... I DIDN’T REALIZE I WAS ON THIS T-SHIRT SUPPLIER’S RADAR . . . Oh, little old me? Even though I should kind of be used to it by now, I still get surprised when people know who I am. A little bit ago, I even got stopped on my run because someone recognized me. Anyway. I get so many spammy emails from brands asking me to feature them on the blog. And I rarely respond. I just delete them. Because, honestly, they are a bunch of buzzwords and greenwashing. You know the type – we invented the most sustainable hoodie ever, and our clothes empower women . . . buzzword, buzzword, buzzword. But the other day, I got excited when I recognized the brand on the other end of the email for once – Original Favorites. Because, for years, I have recommended that my clients and students check out Original Favorites for organic cotton blanks. SO, WHAT ARE T-SHIRT BLANKS? Blanks are pretty much what they sound like. Blank garments that are ready for customizations like screen printing and or dying - they are literally a blank canvas. It’s kind of like buying a 5-pack of Hanes Deep V-necks (literally my uniform in college, along with some Hard Tail leggings and Ugg boots). Except it’s on a bigger scale, A LOT cheaper, and blanks are intended for brands to purchase and customize. How it all works is that a company, like Original Favorites, puts in a huge order for a few styles of t-shirt blanks. Because their order is so big, they get really good prices on the shirts throughout the entire supply chain. From fabric to sewing to shipping – the bigger the order, the better the prices. So, they take advantage of that. They then pass on those giant bulk order savings to you and take a small cut. So instead of you having to order tens or hundreds of thousands of the same shirt to get a good price, you can order just a few – like 10, and still get a much lower price than you would ever be able to get trying to produce 10 t-shirts on your own (I’ll break down the math in just a minute). Blanks are made to be customized. So, you can add your own designs and even labels. And the cool thing is, blanks aren’t just for t-shirts. You can buy blanks in almost any type of garment. Scarves, dresses, skirts, sweatpants, hoodies, polo shirts, tote bags – the options are limitless. 4 PROS OF USING T-SHIRT BLANKS 1. NO DEVELOPMENT COSTS A lot goes into developing a single t-shirt. And if everything is custom, there isn’t much you can do to cut development corners. You need to source everything, have patterns made and graded, and have various samples made to check the fit. Then, you need to make sure there are no issues for your customer. This gets pretty expensive, especially when you are making garments domestically. In the United States or Europe, this will all cost anywhere from about $400 - $1,000 just for a t-shirt. And developing more technical items could cost up to $3,000, depending on who you work with and how complex the garment is. The other thing worth mentioning is that development costs are fixed. So it costs the same whether you develop 100 shirts or 10,000 shirts. Here is how the development costs of a shirt break down... For example, say it costs you $500 to do all the development work and perfect your t-shirt and you only want to make 50 pieces. And in production, each piece is $10. Well, on top of the $10 production price, you would need to add in your development cost. So, $500 divided by 50 is $10. That means the real cost of each production piece is $10 plus $10 for development = $20 total. Now, if you are making 1,000 pieces, we would take the $500 divided by 1,000 pieces, and the development cost per piece would be just 50 cents. So, your total unit cost would be $10 plus $0.50, which is a total of $10.50 per piece. To be clear, I would never recommend a new startup brand buy 1,000 units on their first order. But hopefully, you get the point I am trying to make . . . development costs are costs that effect your bottom line, and they are expensive! So, by using blanks, new brands can completely cut out that development cost, lower the overall cost of their product, and still get low MOQs (minimum order quantities). 2. NO SURPRISES Even if you work with the best factories, I can promise you that things will not be perfect. In your sample and development process, there will always be small things you need to tweak or reevaluate. And that is exactly why you must have a development and sampling stage and can’t skip it. One of the most disheartening things for new brands is when they finally open their box of samples after months of work and feel like everything is wrong. Us industry pros know that it’s all part of the garment game – alterations need to be made and new samples need to be submitted for approval. But for newbies, it is sometimes so disheartening (and expensive) that they give up completely. The other scary thing that sometimes happens is brands will think they have a perfect sample, place their production order, and then realize something is wrong after they receive their bulk order. Now, they have hundreds of defective t-shirts to deal with. When you are buying t-shirt blanks, you know exactly what you are getting. You can buy a few (like 1 or 2), make sure you absolutely love them, and then buy larger quantities. And the best part? Every time you reorder, you have the assurance that you are getting the exact same item because someone else is taking care of all the quality assurance for you. 3. THE BEST PRICING ON SMALL ORDERS I already told you about how much money you can save in the development process by using t-shirt blanks. Now, let’s talk about how much more money you can save on production. Here is the reality of fashion and the secret behind why fast fashion and other big brands can offer such low prices. The more you buy, the more you save. That is for a few reasons. Let’s start with the fabric. When you give a fabric mill a huge fabric order, they can program the machines once and let them run day and night (new fabric orders require cleaning the machine, re-programming the machine, and in general, a lot of downtime). It is extremely efficient to run just one fabric for a long time for big orders. And the more efficient you can be, the faster things can get made, and the more money you can save. People become more efficient too Garment sewing at a factory becomes more efficient with larger orders as well. Factories like big orders because it gives their workers time to get good at making your product. If you only want 50 pieces, by the time the workers find their groove, the order is done. But with an order of 10,000 pieces, every day, the workers get better and better at making the product from all of the repetition. They also get quicker, so you get a lower price. Factory workers can go from making 15 pieces daily to 30 just by repetition and getting to know the product inside and out. On large orders, when workers become masters at making your product, the work becomes almost mindless for them. They can laugh, joke, and listen to podcasts while working. So, when you order blanks, you get a product that’s been replicated many times and produced more cheaply, thereby cutting production costs for you and your customer. Versus placing a small custom order with a factory, which means garment sewing will take longer and production costs will be higher. 4. GREAT FOR RE-ORDERS Worried about selling out fast and running out of product? When you have a custom order and want to order more, it can take quite a bit of time. You first need to re-order the fabric, which can take anywhere from a month to 3 months. Then, the shirts need to be sewn, which could take another month or two. With blanks, they are usually always in stock. So as soon as you need more, you can order them and get them immediately. This can be great for customer retention because, the longer customers have to wait for a product on backorder, the less likely they are to place their order. It’s also great for your cash flow because it allows you to get product out quickly and not tie it up while waiting for new items to be made. 2 MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT USING T-SHIRT BLANKS 1. “NO CUSTOM FITS OR FABRICS MEANS MY CUSTOMER WON’T GET WHAT THEY NEED” “But Melanie, I have done all the research, and know that the exact shirt I want to develop isn’t out there right now. There is a need for my custom design.” Here is a hard dose of reality. I need you to check your ego and listen up. I get that you want to make the same shirt you have in your closet, but you want the sleeves 1 inch longer, the body 2 inches shorter, and the fabric just slightly heavier. Because, then, it will fit you perfectly. But here’s the thing. Most people who are buying your shirt do not have your exact measurements. When you make those sleeves 1 inch shorter, even though they’ll fit YOU perfectly, they might be way too short for someone else (read, a paying customer). The truth is, blank companies have done all the research. They are so confident in their research that they’re ordering probably millions of units of the same style. They know what sells. Lean into that expertise. “From operating their clothing brand, our founders realized the perennial items that sold-out every season were t-shirts and hoodies. They're the most accessible styles for any demographic and often the most-worn and loved by customers. We expanded our fleece styles from there but never ventured too far away from the classics and never changed our silhouette.” Rachel, Original Favorties What that means is that based on tons of sales data from their past and current businesses Orignal Favorites was able to assess what customer really want and make that. 2. “PEOPLE WILL THINK I'M NOT A ‘REAL’ BRAND” Yes, you will. Period. Full stop. If you are making printed t-shirts, all people really care about is the print or the logo. That is what they are buying. I have one student in LMCL who started her business using a print-on-demand service (basically, a company that will print your designs on blanks). And, IMO, it was the smart thing to do. While others were struggling with their first patterns, she was already testing product. And when her cohorts were finally just launching, she was already scaling and hiring her first employee. The bottom line. Using this method allowed this student to launch and scale quickly, and her customers didn’t even know she was cutting design corners. Think about it. The last time you bought a shirt with a cute design on it, did you email the brand to confirm they paid for the development and design of the shirt? No. Because that would be bananas. So, if you don’t shop that way, why do you think your customers would? I’m telling you, top brands do this to make their lives easier - and you should be considering it too! The other cool thing with blanks is that with a lot of them, their labels are meant to be ripped out, so you can sew in your own brand label. If you sew in your own label, this gives the final product a more branded and polished look.
