San Mar has a good selection of shirts in many colors from polos to long
sleeve classice shirts. Sizes range from youth to adults. You might look
at them for shirts. Dickies also has a school uniform section.

Subject: [amayausers.com] Starting Up
First, I want to say thank you for all the help everyone has offered.
These economic times are so tough, jobs are scarce, people are not spending
or hiring or anything... and starting a business can be daunting to even
think about. For me, the initial investment is a huge deal! So, I am
really trying to "do my homework" before I take hard-earned money from kind
friends and family to help me. I need to be sure this will work.
In that -- I am trying to put together a proposal for a local small charter
school uniform project and each day I am learning more about that niche -
being that it includes more than just "decorated wearables" but other items
like pants/shorts/etc. There are all kinds of special issues for that kind
of company.
I found a company called Educational Outfitters out of NC that sells
franchises. There are already three in my area -- so I am pretty sure that
would be "out". But my question is this -- they claim that because they
are so well established uniform clothing manufactures are willing to do
business with them -- while they are hesitant or unlikely to do business
with a smaller company?
Is that why I am having trouble identifying how and where to get a source
for good quality school uniforms? Anyone out there have any insight on the
uniform niche? That wouldn't mind sharing?
