Clothing Manufacturer

[AMetaj]

Hey everyone, I haven't been on the forums in a while. I'm in the process of starting a clothing company with a friend of mine, and I need to know where I could find local clothing manufacturers. I can't seem to find anything online. I want local because I want to go see them making it, and do my own quality control. Thanks for the help in advance!

What is local to you?

[AMetaj]

Sorry, I'm in Louisville, KY. So anything in the state, or surrounding states would help.

I have a line, it almost impossible to find local manufacturers....you probably could get samples made in the US but bulk production most like not. Unless you just plan on screen printing on t-shirts that don't have your labels on them

maybe for bulk production, u can make them in china it be cheaper.

China's price is ok and competitive, but you must have your quality team help you. And, accoring to the US CUSTUMS regulation, t-shirts need visa-which you have to take into consideration. Also, t-shirts from China must mark made-in-china when importing.

So, how would I go about finding these companies and starting to talk to them about prices?
