Killer Screen Print
Month
The 2011 price catalogue from our tshirt supplier arrived this morning and as forewarned all garments have gone up in price, some more than others. This is due to the global cotton shortage. “Global cotton shortage you say? Bullshit!” Unfortunately its not. Pakistan is one of the worlds largest producers of cotton and when floods hit last year and devestated the country it did the same to their cotton stocks. Its much better explained in the link attached.
