We are trying to start a t-shirt line and we are looking to produce locally and still have international quality. Despite the stereotype that we may not be able to get the quality we desire if we produce in Nigeria, we are willing and committed to work with hard working Nigerians who are committed to quality and value (affordability) and this is why we have brought our search to nairaland. To the specifics of what we are looking for:

1. A casual t-shirt manufacturer (just the blank shirt with the option of fashion fit and not just generic size) - open to producing different blends - a mix of cotton and polyester etc
2. High quality screen printer or digital printer or monogrammer - to incorporate the designs onto the shirt in a way that maximizes quality
3. A creative designer - think you have crazy designs and want an avenue to express yourself, we may be able to incorporate your designs into our line (and ofcourse compensate you)

Please feel free to drop your contact details, pictures of work you have done, minimum order requirements, price per shirt at retail/wholesale prices etc.

To the rest of the house please assist us with your opinion: do you think a t-shirt line will do well in Nigeria? What will be a good price point? What would you like to see on the shirts? Any advice at all, thank you!

You are on a good course here. Just focus on your product packaging and finishing. T-shirt lines do gross sales anywhere in the world. You'd make it in the biz if you do as advised above.
