Thinking of buying some t shirts with band logo to sell at gigs. Does anyone have any recommendations for a supplier? Naturally looking for good quality at a reasonable price. Thanks!

I have used Queensboro from Carolina . If interested I can PM you their email. In the past ....free artwork set up. Often I get offers for two fer . Don't know the current policy but min order was 4 units. Great for a band that doesn't want to finance a run of 72 or 144. They do embroidary and digital print. My past orders of digital print were very nice and glossy until about the tenth washing still look nice just a bit faded but now stable. The embroidary items are expertly done and I did a run of the for the MADEIRA and for the SURGE as well as Don't Fear the Reverb.
I'm satisfied and the prices are respectable as well as the craftsmanship and the durability of the materials.

I found this from their last email to me.
Mention my name I may get brownie points.

Hey Carol, what is a good quality T by brand and #, something comparable to what you sell in your shop? Some of the suppliers list dozens of different shirts by the same manufacture.

Sorry to cut in. I'm a big fan of Gildan #5000. The #2000s are good too, but the 5000s are a little lighter weight (even though they are called "Heavy", kind of confusing?) But Gildan in general has pretty consistent quality.

So it looks like you can buy a decent shirt with image for around $5 if you order around 48? That seems like a pretty good deal.

Yep, the unit cost goes down the more quantity you get.
Also, the unit cost goes up the more ink colors you add.
