Polo Shirts/ Sweatshirts

[GailForce Designs]

Hello
We've got a big client that is looking for polo shirts and sweatshirts. They need something that can take some abuse and not shrink much or fade. What brands do people suggest? What brands should we stay away from? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I do a lot of work on Gildans, good medium price range, quality is better than some. Anvil is clothing for the garbage heap-won't touch any of it. Hanes is near the bottom of the pile-sweatshirts and tees shrink haphazardly, quality control is non-existent.
Polos wear off fast on the 'points' of the collars and pocket corners have see through holes from the stitching.
Sanmar Port Authority line is great for heavy duty shirts and sweats, and DiPort line (just changed their name to something else) has limited styles but extremely low prices on excellent heavy duty polos. We're switching several accounts over to that line for consistent quality and better price.

The company line is great, super weight shirts, no minimums-I wear them myself and embroider, heat seal, and screenprint on them. The 'mens' line is LONGER than any other company shirts I use-so you don't get 'plumbers crack' LOL....
