Carhartt shirts

[embroidered blessings]

I have a customer looking for Carhartt shirts- henleys w/pockets and t-shirts. Can anyone tell me where to find this brand wholesale? Thanks in advance!

This subject has come up before, and I see no one has answered you, but Carhartt will not sell wholesale unlesds you have a storfront or the only one in the territory or any number of things that they require, the best answer is to find a replacement that's similiar, or have the customer purchase at retail and you make money on emb. only with no out of pocket costs. or try to find someone who sells and work out a deal to order through them, although I think you will be dissapointed since I don't beleive they operate like the normal wharehouse style vendor that we are used to in this industry, these retailers place there order up to 6 months in advance aqnd recieve it later, which is why there often is the "what we've got is all we have" mentality.

It doesn't make the customer happy but we all have to learn that we can't be everything to everybody, and that not everything can be easily attained at wholesale prices. and if they want it they should just buy it bring it in and have it embroidered. that way it is up to the customer to hunt down all the right sizes and colors. one or two times of this and I usually have people willing to listen to alternatives at that point! and don't forget to charge more for embroidering on provided goods since you don't make any mark up on the blanks.

Good Luck,

At the Atlantic City ISS show I ran into somebody that sold Carhartt well below retail price although I'm not sure if it was actual wholesale. I seem to remember they had relatively high minimums but let me dig through the box of stuff I have from the show and see if I can find the info. There are people out there that will help you but like Roland says - try to steer your customers to items that are just as good in quality at a much lower price and is more easily obtainable.
