Where do you draw the line as to what you consider made in UK though - are you literally wanting all the raw materials and parts to be UK made?

The sublimation ink won't be made in England

May I ask why you want UK sourced Spike? Is this for a particular customer? What blanks are you looking to source?

[Spike1865]

OK. Materials, ink etc can be outsourced but t-shirts actually assembled in England from quality materials.
Its for my own brand Justin.

[Spike1865]

T-shirts and clothing fella.

Find a local seamstress/machinist who can make them up for you, you could then even print them before being sewn up to get a much better result.

I had a company local to me in Long Eaton Spike that manufactured on site, not many left around. A basic white tee cost £20ea trade price! Great quality but at a price. Unless you're going to do a lot I can't see it making economic sense.

[Spike1865]

Wow. That's expensive.

Hi Spike,

You're paying UK labour rates rather than Chinese rates, depends what your customers want

There's a Ladies Clothes factory shop not a million miles from you in Alfreton, David Nieper, there's nothing in there for less than £100, but the quality is excellent and they employ getting on for a 100 machinists, they have a niche for quality clothes made in the UK, mostly mail order, a strong company

Good on em, god knows how they manage it
