Is that price for HEAVY weight cotton Ts?  XX and above sizes?  Many
times when we pitch a shirt out, we get bids based on thin shirt stock
or shortcuts that leave one wanting.  I don't know your people though.
Can we specify?

Also, if the design is simple enough, you might want to think about
embroidered stuff.  After setup, it usually runs about the same, can be
put on anything from shirts to hats, etc., and involves less setup costs
(it's already in the computer) when you do reprints.  Or maybe both
would work.  A T shirt sized screen design and one embroidered that you
could get away with them at work (if it can also be resized as a smaller
breast-pocket sized logo).  ;-P
