Wholesale AA in NYC/LES?

[anonymous]

Hi,

I know I've seen a thread about this before, but my search attempts yielded nothing. I remember someone on the board mentioning that there were a few places in the LES in NYC where a person could pick up American Apparel stuff for wholesale (or close to wholesale) prices. I'm going to be in NYC next week and would like to buy some clean t-shirts, so some further details on this would be much obliged.

For some reason, I remember something about the place being run by Hasidic Jews... I might be making that part up, though.

Thanks.

i can't recall the name of the place, nor the exact address, but this place does exist.

it is a small storefront run by Hasidic Jews on the LES...

its somewhere south of Delancey street and east of Allen street.

am i jogging anyone else's memory?

someone posted about this on another board. haven't been there since i have a friend hooking up wholesale whenever i want it.

"He pointed it out to me the other day as we where rolling past, it's on Grand just south of the WBurg bridge."

another:

"years ago before A.A. had storefronts all over/tons of controversy, i was ordering wholesale directly from them, and also shopping at friedmans' innovative activewear for aa stuff when i didnt want to wait for shipping. its on grand street, north side. they might have raised their costs, though. give them a call.

Friedman's on Grand street is the place.

That was 100% me.

And thanks, onemancult, for the confirmation.

make sure that you also check out uniqlo. i think the tshirts hold up better than aa and they have a lot of nice basics there.

i found this ebay storefront the other day

selling in lots of 3, if you buy more than one lot, with combined shipping, it works out to about 7 bucks a tshirt. they've got all colors
