Women’s Cotton V-Neck T-Shirts in Bulk

A women's V-neck sells on the neckline here in a way a round neck does not. It reads as dressed rather than plain, which suits a boutique rail as much as a stall, so it moves steadily rather than in bursts.

Description

These are women's short-sleeve V-neck t-shirts cut on a fitted body, made for bulk buyers rather than for a single shop counter. The range runs from plain single jersey through fine rib and knitted textures to a horizontal stripe, and the same block is used across the colours, so a mixed order still arrives with consistent sizing.

The neckline is where a V-neck is won or lost. A rib-knit V finished with a stitched neck tape holds its shape, and a plain jersey V cut without tape stretches and gapes after a few washes. That is the difference between a shirt a customer replaces every season and one she brings back, and it is worth more per piece than the cloth itself.

Two groups buy this style in volume. Market traders take the bright colours and the stripe, which sell off a rail on appearance alone and need no explaining. Boutiques take the neutrals and the fine rib, because a cream or grey V-neck sits under a jacket and holds a higher shelf price than the same shirt in a loud colour.

Specification

These are the points that decide what actually arrives in the container. Each one is confirmed against the specific supplier and against an approved sample before we put a figure on it.

Style	Women's short-sleeve V-neck t-shirt on a fitted body, with a set-in sleeve, a rib-knit V neckline and a straight hem.
Knit	Single jersey for the plain bodies, fine rib for the ribbed lines and a heavier knitted texture on a few styles. Rib holds the neckline better and shows the shape of the garment more.
Fabric weight	Commonly 140 to 180 GSM for women's jersey tees. Lighter cloth feels cooler in Lagos heat and costs less; heavier cloth is less see-through on white and cream. Ask for the figure in writing, because a photograph will not tell you.
Composition	Cotton and cotton-blend, with a small elastane content on the fitted lines. Cotton breathes, which matters in this climate. The elastane is what lets a fitted body recover its shape instead of bagging at the waist.
Neckline	Rib-knit V with a stitched tape across the back neck. Ask whether the tape is there, because a V built without one gapes after a few washes and is the single most common complaint on cheap women's tees.
Colour fastness	Ask for a wash and rub fastness result on the deep shades. Burgundy and rose bleed onto lighter garments in the first wash where the dye is not properly fixed, and a customer who loses a white blouse to it does not come back.
Patterns available	Plain solid across a wide colour range, fine rib in the neutrals, and a horizontal stripe in two-colour combinations.
Minimum order	1,000 pieces across the whole order, not per colour. Colours, sizes and the plain, ribbed and striped bodies are mixed freely within that figure.
Size range	Typically S to 3XL on the Asian grade. Ask for the bust and body length in centimetres rather than relying on the letters. Asian sizing runs small on women's fitted styles in particular, and a Large that fits like a Medium will not sell twice.
Colour control	Specified by Pantone reference and confirmed by lab dip before bulk production. Strong dyes such as the burgundy and the rose shift most between lots, so a repeat order placed without a reference will not match your first one.
Branding	Woven or printed neck label, side label, hang tag and a chest print are all possible on a factory order. Stock purchases arrive with whatever labelling the mill already applied.
Packing	Individually polybagged or bulk packed, with the size assortment set per carton. This decides how much sorting you do before the first piece can be sold.

We do not publish prices, because the landed figure depends on the specification, the Customs valuation and the exchange rate on the day you pay.

Minimum order

1,000 pieces across the whole order. Not 1,000 of each colour. Colours, sizes and the plain, ribbed and striped bodies are mixed freely within that 1,000, so a first order can carry six or seven colours instead of tying you to one.

That is worth checking against any other quotation you hold. Minimums in this trade are usually counted per colour, which is where buyers lose money: four colourways on a per-colour minimum of 1,000 is a 4,000-piece commitment and four times the cash. Ask every supplier whether their figure is per style, per colour or per size run, and get the answer in writing.

Custom labels, custom prints and non-standard colours each tend to carry their own minimum on top. A first order is nearly always better placed on stock colours in a standard size run.

What decides the right one

Weight against climate comes first. A heavy tee feels substantial in a showroom and sits on the rail in Lagos in March, where a woman wants the lightest thing that is not see-through. The heavier cloth and the ribbed bodies earn their place in harmattan and further north.

Then the neckline, which decides whether the shirt is bought twice. A rib V with a stitched neck tape still sits flat after a season of washing, and a plain jersey V without one gapes and comes back to the stall. This is where cheap becomes expensive.

Then the size run, which matters more on a fitted women's style than on a men's tee. Ask for the bust measurement in centimetres and weight the order towards the larger end, because an Asian Medium sells here as a Small. The same thousand lets you spread the colours and learn which ones your market takes.

Then the sample, which is the one part of this worth being slow about. Wash it once before you approve it, then keep it in your office. It settles every argument afterwards, and without one you have no position at all when the goods do not match the conversation.

Common questions

What is the minimum order for these t-shirts?

1,000 pieces across the whole order, not 1,000 of each colour. You can mix colours, sizes and the plain and striped bodies within that 1,000, so a first order can carry six or seven colours rather than one.

Can I mix colours and sizes within the minimum?

Yes. The 1,000 pieces is counted across the order, so you choose the colour split and the size run inside it. Tell us the breakdown you want and we build it into the quotation.

What fabric weight should I ask for?

Women's jersey tees commonly run 140 to 180 GSM. Lighter cloth is cooler and cheaper, heavier cloth is less see-through on white. Without a GSM figure on the order you will be sent the lightest cloth that matches the photograph.

Can the t-shirts carry my own label?

Yes, by woven or printed neck label, side label and hang tag on a factory order, and a chest print as well. Stock purchases arrive with the mill's own labelling, so decide the branding before the order is placed.

Why does the V-neck lose its shape?

Because the neckline was built without a proper rib and neck tape. Ask for both in writing and have the sample washed before you approve it, and a gaping neckline stops being the usual outcome.

Are prices shown in the catalogue?

No. The catalogue is images only. What a t-shirt costs you depends on quantity, specification and the exchange rate on the day, so we quote per order with every line itemised.

Send us the colours and the size run

Send the reference numbers from the catalogue, or just describe what you want. Tell us the colour split you have in mind across the thousand, the size run and whether the shirts need your own label. We will come back with the specification to insist on and what it lands at in Naira with every line itemised.

There is no charge for it and it commits you to nothing. If the quantity you have in mind sits below the minimum, we will say so and suggest the version that works.
