Polyester Hoodies

[Paul]

Paul these prices are quite normal for the qtys talked about, the cost is in the shipping/importing, obviously when you import directly its normally in case qtys 144 same colour same size etc, thats where you wholesaler comes in, allowing you better prices for smaller qtys

maybe... I am not in to polyester clothing so dont know... but I compared this price to FOTL premium hoodies that you can have in this country for under the tenner incl tax.

and a FOTL cotton t shirt is about £1.20 and a dye sub polyester one is £3.75 or so, so you can see there is a difference between teh two materials just on t shirts

I always thought is coz the production volume. cotton is used more thats why is cheaper. Polyester is lower volume so is more dear. I must be wrong then :redface:

[mrs maggot]

might well be why, you see far more people in cotton than polyester - when you said a FOTL hoodie was a tenner, i thought you were comparing apples with pears - ie cotton from FOTL with polyester from india - for a price comparison surely you need to compare the same material/product not just product ??

I know what you say Laura Butmy intention was to compare well know brand as fotl with some unknown garment. not polyester to cotton as I know cotton is cheaer. I was thinking if you have unbranded polyester hoodie and branded cotton one the unbranded would be at least this same price as cotton one. or less. does it make sens??

[mrs maggot]

yes it does paul

Had one of the sub hoodies arrived from BMS today and it certainly feels really nice, i'm keeping this one but my 2 teenage boys now want one with a design of their own put on. Will let you all know how it prints/wears and washes etc.
