Hi rosemary, my apologies for not getting back to you earlier, I have been away. I am looking at about £3 per t-shirt, but this dependant on quality and volume purchased. What is the best price you can do for me, and I was just wondering what the quality and fitting like? Are they ethically made. Thank You, and Merry Christmas!
