According to a friend of mine who is in the shirt business, prices for shirts on the wholesale market have doubled, and the most popular styles used are flat out not going to be available again until the start of next year.
Most raw textiles come out of the India/Pakistan/Bangladesh area, and not only has Covid totally disrupted much of production there, the country that converts most of these textiles to shirts (China) is refusing imports from many parts of that area to halt the spread of the virus (closed boarders). And fewer than 1% of the people in SW Asia have been fully vaccinated.
