Not for sublimation.

Im looking to start turning my designs onto T-shirt’s.
Printing the designs onto digital htv from my bn20.

I have an account with pen Carrie and a few other suppliers but not really been down the T-shirt route as I have always been busy with other things.
I’m looking for a good quality T-shirt that will last and not shrink or fade after three washes.

The kind of T-shirt I would be able to wear to work for a year and it still look as good as new.
In he past I have purchased several fotl and Gildan T-shirt’s and found them to be too thin and fly away if you get what I mean?

So does anyone have a suggestion

Like these....

With Fruit of the Loom the Super premium is head and shoulders better than the Valueweight. Same with Gildan - the 2000 is far better than the 5000 'Heavy Cotton.

Cheap ringspun can be prone to shrinking, but the Russell 'Classic' T is the dogs knackers - I wear them myself and they wash well.

The Russel Classic is ringspun, but it is a little more money than the cheaper stuff (Gildan 64000 and FOTL 'Premium' Ringspun or Iconic ranges) and it holds shape and size much better.

I use AS Colour (https://ascolour.co.uk/). Tees are slightly pricey but premium quality and prices start from £2.50 + VAT.

Update: Forgot to mention, you'll need to create an account to view wholesale prices.
