how popular T shirt selling in UK ??

[Ravisteam]

How big is the tshirt selling business in UK.??.I know it's massive in US..but due to the cold weather in UK is it only popular in Summer? ?.

If the UK is anything like Germany then my answer would be that my t-shirt sales half over the winter period. But sweats and hoodies sell more, not in such great quantity but the margin is better. Polos stay the same all year round for me as most is sold as workwear.

The t-shirt market in the UK is huge and there are some very large companies printing t-shirts 24 hours a day all year round.

It is also (in my opinion) a very saturated market. For example, I have one client who wanted me to take on printing garments they supplied, they were looking to pay £1.70 for a transfer each side of a standard tee (FLB and large back). I politely declined

If you are looking at printing your own designs then the market is sort of irrelevant, people will either like your wares and subsequently purchase them, or they wont.

Hi Simon , thanks for the input ,I was not sure as the cold weather in UK .. I can see now , its like mug printing I recon, selling for 5.90 including postage ....I agree with you ,your own designs you can decide the price otherwise no point of even thinking about it lol..
