As a new street wear clothing brand (brand specializing in T Shirts, Oversized T Shirts, Hoodies, Sweatshirts) or as an event management company looking for great and affordable T shirts for an event or corporate client, buying quality products at reasonable price could be challenging.
1. Consider the fabric:
- T shirts fabric is Single Jersey Fabric (it falls under the category of Knit Fabrics).
- The most common composition of single jersey fabric for t-shirts is cotton, which is breathable, soft, and durable. Considering the weather in Dubai / UAE it is preferable to buy 100% cotton T shirts. If you are looking for sustainable fabrics then you can consider buying 100% organic cotton and also recycled cotton fabric.
2. Choose a fabric weight (measured in GSM i.e. Grams per Square Meter)
- Choose fabric weight that is appropriate for the weather and intended use. For example, a heavier weight fabric will be more suitable for cooler weather or for layering, while a lighter weight fabric will be more comfortable in hot weather. Most common fabric weight used in Dubai / UAE is 180 GSM. The more premium quality is heavier and is 220 GSM. There are few suppliers in Dubai that can supply 220 GSM (The Cloth Craft being the leading supplier of this material). For one time use, for events and for promotions many companies also use 160 GSM T shirts. These T shirts cost less and are light but are not of good quality and is not recommended if you are using it as a product in your premium street wear brand.
3. Check the stitching:
- Look for t-shirts with well-made seams that are even and consistent. Avoid t-shirts with loose threads or poor stitching, as these may come apart easily after washing.
4. Pay attention to the fit:
- Choose t-shirts that fit you well in the shoulders, chest, and waist. Avoid t-shirts that are too tight or too loose, as they will not be comfortable to wear. Also consider the length of the T shirts (good length for Large size T shirts is 29 inches).
5. Consider the neck style:
- T-shirts come in a variety of neck styles, such as crewneck or v-neck. We suggest that you go for Crewneck (also called round neck) as that is the most preferred neck type in Dubai market. Whether you are using the T shirts for events or promotion or your own brand, we suggest to use crewneck T shirts.
6. Think about the color:
- Blank t-shirts come in a wide variety of colors. The most common colors in Dubai market is Black and White. If you want to play safe, these are the colors to order. The other most preferred colors are Navy, Grey, Blue. In summers, pastel colors are in great demand. Be careful of not ordering large quantities in colors. See which colors your clients like and order accordingly.
7. Ask about the washing instructions:
- Make sure you know how to wash and care for the t-shirts before you buy them. We suggest that you buy two samples. Wash one of the samples 5 times and then compare it with the unwashed sample. This will show you the shrinkage and the color leakage. Good quality T shirts do not shrink more than 3-5% and the color does not bleed.
8. Shop around:
- Compare prices and quality from different stores before you buy. There are a number of shops in Dubai that sell blank t-shirts, so you should be able to find a good deal. Also, you can do Google Search to find suppliers (You will find The Cloth Craft ranking high on the search). However, be careful and test the supplier as not all suppliers are professional and will be able to provide you the right advise or deliver on time or as promised.
Here are some additional tips for buying blank t-shirts in Dubai:
- Look for stores that specialize in selling blank t-shirts. These stores will typically have a wider selection of t-shirts to choose from. They generally keep various qualities and of different brands of wholesale T shirt suppliers.
- If you are buying t-shirts in bulk, you may be able to negotiate a discount with the seller.
- Consider buying organic cotton t-shirts. These t-shirts are made from cotton that is grown without the use of harmful pesticides or fertilizers.
By following these tips, you can be sure to find good quality blank t-shirts in Dubai that will meet your quality needs and budget.
