      What "stuff" are you making? Google what you are making... for example, I do swim and fitness wear. So when I started I looked up swimwear companies and many offered custom or "no branding" manufacturing. You can contact them and ask if they make what you are doing. Don't get discouraged! If you search Wholesalers for what you are making... again many will offer making products for others. Let me give you another example. I found a swimwear manufacturer on the west coast when I didn't know how to sew. So I sent the my patterns and what I wanted. I was able to make a deal with them that totally help me get started. They offered to make my designs, warehouse and even drop-ship under my label "Devious Designs" but I had to allow them to also put their label on my designs. Now before you do something like this, make sure you get all of the fact and terms. Like in photography, a photographer would rather cut off their arms and legs and die before handing over RAW images. Don't be like that! Be flexible as I was. There was no way I could sew and the amount this company could, plus put my label on my designs, warehouse and drop-ship world-wide. So I cut a deal for a small percentage of my designs sold under their name and we did a 60-40% split on sales. Every manufacturer will be difference but again don't get discouraged!

    • @johnxsantos
      @johnxsantos  8 років тому +1

      tracking down a physical store will be tough. Especially if you are trying to find it in your city. Normally they will sell it at a markup if it's something you can buy in stores. If you're looking for wholesale prices, best bet is online. There are numerous sites. T-shirtwholesaler or blankshirts are good starting sites.

    Running into this exact problem. Have designs, have supplier and have fabric in hand but it's almost impossible to get the specs on the material I am using. All I know is that it's 100% knitted cotton. Finding out the yarn count, density and gsm seems impossible. The fabric stores have no idea at all, Ive been to countless tailors and seamstresses. Never been so frustrated in my life.

      It is better to start wholesale. Build what you're doing and learn how to make custom pieces at the same time. This video was to help understand that process a little better. Stay tuned for the next vids on the channel though. I go into detail with one of the largest manufacturers in the country!

      Any pattern maker would prefer that if you have something close to what you want. Hand them a middle size like a large or medium so when you get to the grading (sizing) stage of the process they will size up and down accordingly from that sample size.

    I think I will only sell what I would wear. You know? Because if I'm not willing to wear it why should anyone else? Before I get into the process (Since I don't have money to invest) I'm doing research, and creating art. I'm trying to save myself a lot of time and possibly wasting money in the process. I'm looking to start UA-cam and Vlogs or animation, Twitch for gaming and Instagram for beauty. :) Before I start a clothing line two years from now that way I have people that can be aware or share my product! I'm really in love with business, music and art. I could do that with a clothing line. :) I could put some music in my advertisement videos or future stores. :) I don't know but I'll figure out away to have fun with music.
    I can't wait. Two years from now. I have to follow up with trends to I suppose. After T-shirts I totally want to expand into more things. Like backpacks for sure and more sweaters. I love Spencers and Hot Topic and Vans so my dream would go beyond clothing I want to go into shoes. That's my dream and to eventually create stores that eventually gets in the malls! What mall doesn't have Hot Topic or Forever 21 or Victoria Secret?
    I'm aiming for teenagers and college students I think if I ever do something for adults it would be online because adults have credit cards and debt cards they can use. Not many teenagers do and college students don't spend that much anyway. So I totally want to make some clothing affordable so parents won't be like "That store is to pricey" to kids who want to shop there.
    That's reaction I had from my parents and when I was in elementary I was so into the emo shit kinda still am and they would hide Hot Topic for me.

    • @johnxsantos

      normally you will supply the fabric. If the manufacturer has accounts that provide what you want, they may be able to order for you, IF you got the order quantity.
