Anyone have experience with blank clothes distribution?

Hi I own a garment factory in the best place in the world for export to the US (Egypt - 0% customs, 0% tarrifs thanks to a peace deal with Israel, salaries significantly cheaper than China / Bangladesh) and I'm looking to buy one or multiple distributors of blank garments that are used by print shops and other stakeholders of the events industry.
A big name is https://sanmar.com/, but I'm looking for smaller guys who are purchasing blanks references from wholesalers.
My landed cost for a 100% cotton 300gsm hoodie in the US is around $6 and a lot of distributors buy them at $12 from factories in Bangladesh / China so I'm wondering if it wouldn't be a simple way to dramatically increase margins.
