I would have a good read through the forum as this has been covered many times before.

Are you printing images or is it just vinyl, if sublimating images high poly content is needed for sublimation and they cost more than your normal cotton stuff.

Im no expert on sublimation but I usually only print vinyl onto hoodies or small images (non-sublimated)

You could have a look at MDP, they supply a lot of clothing etc, may be a starting point for you?
