Hey everyone,

I’m currently working on launching a small clothing brand called Grow, and I’m looking for a reliable manufacturer for T-shirts and hats.

I already have some designs ready and I’m aiming for high-quality products — especially 100% cotton tees and 6-panel snapback caps with embroidery.

Right now I’m starting small (around 20/30 pieces per item), but the goal is to build a long-term relationship with a manufacturer and scale over time.

I’d really appreciate any recommendations or advice on:

Trusted manufacturers (EU, Turkey, China, or overseas)
Good quality blanks vs fully custom production
Printing vs embroidery best practices
Things to avoid when starting out

If you’ve worked with someone you trust (or had bad experiences I should avoid), feel free to share 🙏

Thanks a lot!
