Just a simple question. I'm starting to print my own teeshirts, right now I just go to the thrift store and buy blanks for 99cents. I was wondering if you guys knew any good wholesale websites I could buy in bulk. thanks.

try the garmet district of your local big city.

also, you can get a wholesale license and get shirts really cheap. but you have to buy a lot of shirfts.
like minimum dozen of each kind you want. or at least thats how it works in LA.

other wise try online searching, costco maybe?

I used to work for a silkscreening company, it was such a sweet job, so many free shirts and whatnot, and they'd let you order clothes wholesale.

You could try "Michaels" the craft store, they don't have a huge selection of style, but if you just want plain t-shirts you can get adult ones for $3-5.

Your region is what matters most for a distributor of blank apparel. If you plan to take this all the way, you will need to have a source that has like 1-2 day UPS shipping. If it's just you in your basement with some screens and a do it yourself kit, then yeah, go buy em at walmart or something.

What is your setup so far?
