ShirtSpace teams up with American Apparel

ShirtSpace, the online retailer for blank wholesale apparel including t-shirts, polos and sweatshirt, has announced they are adding American Apparel to their inventory.

American Apparel is known for its in-house production of producing, cutting and photographing all products in one location. This keeps the cost of their products low. Given the commitment to affordability, ShirtSpace saw them as the perfect new partner.

"Adding American Apparel to our product lineup is extremely exciting for us," said Marlin LeFever, business development director at ShirtSpace. "American Apparel is a well-known, respected manufacturer of high-quality apparel, and we're thrilled to be able to offer it to our customers."

The new American Apparel line consists of t-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, pants, and items for infants, toddlers and dogs. Most of the items start at under 7 dollar a piece.

Cuts include scoop, crew, and V-neck, and customers can find short, long and three-quarter sleeves. Different tank-top styles also are available.

American Apparel, which was acquired by Gildan Activewear Inc. this year, is in need of new strategies for growth, and this could be their chance to start to rebuilding their business. After years of controversy, filing for bankruptcy and what nearly seemed like the brink of collapse for the business, they finally have a chance to turn things around.

A new American Apparel website is expected to launch at the end of the third quarter. There are currently no plans to bring back brick-and-mortar stores.
