   Without wanting to sound like a crazed old-person with little knowledge of the issues, its rip off Britain, things do tend to cost more here. I don’t know if screen printing itself costs more here, but my guess would be that the base products cost more. For example, a lot of the tees I mention here are printed on American Apparel tees, for a British designer to print on them they’d need to be imported (even if they were wholesale from AAs UK arm) and the import charges get added onto the costs that and American would pay.

   I also think there’s an element that companies can get away with charging these amounts so they do because the customer has been conditioned to accept those pricing points.
