Looking to buy 8-12 plain black polo shirts for a small business! Any suggestions?

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy 8-12 black polo shirts of various sizes, which I will have the businesses logo embroidered (stitched) on the left chest area. Looking for quality at a decent price, under $25 each hopefully. Something that won't get faded after 10 washes because I will be using them as part of uniform.

Anywhere I can have this done all in one shop? ATM I'm getting the shirts and then having to go elsewhere to get them stitched.

Any suggestions will be appreciated!! Would prefer to buy it locally rather than ordering on-line.

Thanks In Advanced!!

xscargo sells the plain ones for $3.99/shirt. Made by Gildan, which I believe is the brand that most people making uniforms usually use.

Nice guy, delivers it straight to your door himself.
Ask for the best price for whatever quantity you're doing, and ask if there's any first time buyer's discount.

nice replies, I'm actually looking to pick up so polos for work as well...

but hey since the subject matter is very similar, you guys know of a quality shop that does custom sports wear. Basically team jerseys with custom logos and stuff like that ?

I want a set of basketball jerseys with a custom logo on the front and numbers on the back. Not lookin to cheap out looking for a quality shop, something Nike quality, I still have nike jerseys from high school 10 years ago where the heat pressed logos still look new.

don't listen to the guys who are suggesting retailers. for this sort of the project, there are hundreds of companies that will provide you with the shirts and embroidery. they'll bring samples of shirts to your shop, you pick the one you want. send them your logo and they'll digitize and get it embroidered for you. embroidery cost will depend on the complexity of your logo design.

some companies i've used in the past:

Promo Plus Advertising | 600,000 products for Golf, Gifts, Company Awareness

Boulevard Advertising Inc. | Promotional Items and Gifts

Original Six Marketing

good luck

Well, I am trying to keep this as cost effective as possible and some of the retail stores do offer some cheap plain black polo's. I've also called around a few places that do embroidery and they all have a set-up fee of $40-50 and after the initial set-up, its $5-10 to have a shirt embroidered.

So say I get JOEs polo shirt at $10 each + embroidered at $5-10 each (excluding set-up fee) that only a total of $15-20.

Although vista print looks pretty promising at $20-25 dollars and I don't have to shop around!!

Anyone here used vista print before? if so, how's the quality?
