    Business Shirts/Uniforms

    Who has them? Where do you get them? Online? How much do you pay?

    I have been searching around here in town and found a few places that do shirts. I have also found a place online CafePress.com : Create, Buy and Sell Unique Gifts, Custom T-Shirts and More

    I made one order through them. Designed my own shirt and had them send it. I give the shirt a 5.5 out of 10. The design on the back can only be so big. The shirts were 100% cotton, which when you wash them a few times, they get sort of fuzzy (?) Which makes my logo look faded out.

    I guess I need a 50/50 blend. I am also REALLY pick about my shirts. Business or not. The neck CANNOT be loose. (which it is on the shirt I ordered) I have to wear a shirt under it to make it feel right. I want a thick neckline the fits snug. Not choking the living daylights out of me though. I just don`t like the look of a loose neck line. Looks cheap IMHO.

    So what have you got? Do share!

    cafepress isn`t the place you want to go if that is what you are looking for. I get my shirts done with them. They use Hanes Beefy Tees for the most part. I like them to be fairly snug, but not too tight. I actually really like them, but not everybody likes that kind of shirt.

    On a side note, I probably still have a high res version of your logo sitting on my computer. If you want me to send it to you in a size and format that would work well with cafepress then just let me know.

    That`s the dangers of ordering clothing online. Not something I would do unless I had tried that particular t-shirt on somewhere local first.

    I just took my logo down to a local uniform shop and they had some quality transfers made and then pressed them on to the t-shirt of my choice. Being transfers, I was skeptical at how well they would hold up but they have been great.

    The t-shirts I like are made by Jerzees. They fit real nice and are very comfortable. 80% cotton.

    I have a little (understatment) belly going on, so snug isn`t me....lol I like thick shirts, not the ones where you sweat, and it looks like you came from a wet T-Shirt contest...lol.
    I wanted to order Navy from them, but I could only put the logo on the front, crazy.
    I switched my look this year, I am not using the logo as of now, but may incorporate it back in somehow. Thank you though


    I like the feel of the Dickies pocket T-Shirts you can get from Wal Mart, but I have gotten a few that felt different from the rest. Either the neck was etremely tight, and after one drying, was tough to get it over my big head, or it stayed long, but shrunk in the belly, or I gre in the belly? Hmmmmmm

    I get mine from A Unicorn T-Shirt & Design who, IMO, do an awesome job. I supply them with my logo, and after a one time set-up charge, shirts are very reasonably priced. They also did my sweaters. for the T`s, I go with Hanes heavy weight 50/50`s which I have found hold up quite well. They also do a nice job with embroidered hats jackets & golf style shirts.

    I prefer to wear t-shirts when working under the hood of vehicles, when doing exterior or up town for lunch and I feel the need to advertise and yet look dry when ive just washed a vehicle, I wear polo pull overs whith the 3 button down collar. Usually in navy blue, just doesnt hold the water like high cotton contact t-shirts I also wear. We have a screen printer/embroider called ELECTRIFIED DESIGNS here in Audubon. Also have a Christian t-shirt maker in town that does a nice job also. It is called CROSS TRAINERS, the same pair also do custom graphics. That of the business is NICKUM EXTREME, phone 712-563-2665. Electrified designs 712-563-2926, Amy should answer ELMQUIST ELETRIC. The do a very nice job for the local area, Ive got 6-8 the that help from there has done before the went to work for Amy. RANDAL

    Anyone wear sleaveless shirts? Not tank tops but sleaveless. I was wondering about the professionalism of the look and thought it would look nice with a navy sleaveless, comfortable khaki shorts and nice tennis shoes. Anyone think this would project a negative image?

    If everything else about your look was clean cut and neat, then I think sleeveless shirts might not be a bad thing. Clean cut with tucked-in t-shirts is the look I have always tried to maintain.

    Haha. I go with the greaser look all around. My image is very old school hot rod though. I am thinking about a more professional look for the future, people have to trust you, bottom line. If you look like an ass nobody wants you rifling through their car!! I like the khaki shorts, sleeveless idea alot if you are really fit, otherwise not so much. Just my $.02.

    Just to let you all know, Dedication To Detail, Inc. ownes automated hi-tech screen printing equipment to print our pads, but the machine is so quick that it often sits idle. A few years ago we started up a Tee-Shirt and Apron printing business on the side which has done really well. Let us know what type of shirt you want, and we can print up to 2 colors really cheap. Just call us for a quote on quantity and how many colors and we can print any logo you email us. There is normally a one time setup charge to create your screen and that depends on the complexity of the artwork but is normally, $160.00 and cheap tees short sleeves usually run about $5.99 each one color.

    Is it Printed on foam? Anyone have pictures of what they can do? Personally would like a design that can hold up to alot of rigorous work, including sweat, chemical wear, and generally high dampness amount. Logo & Design has to look good of course.
