Questions about Custom Cotton Shirts?

FAQ

Everything you need to know about styles, decoration, and delivery.

What is the difference between chambray and poplin?

Chambray has a denim-like look with a visible white-and-blue weave, offering a more casual feel. Poplin is a plain, tight weave that is smooth and crisp, making it more suitable for formal office wear.

Can you embroider on the shirt pocket?

Yes. We can embroider on the pocket itself or just above it. For a cleaner look, we often recommend embroidering just above the pocket line.

Are these cotton shirts machine-washable?

Yes. Most of our 100% cotton and chambray shirts are machine-washable. We recommend using cold water and a gentle cycle, then hanging to dry to prevent shrinkage and protect the decoration.

Is there a minimum order for custom cotton shirts?

Most of our cotton shirts have a 1-piece minimum for embroidery and DTG. Wholesale bulk discounts for screen printing typically begin at 12+ pieces.

Do you offer organic cotton shirt options?

Yes. We offer several styles from Patagonia and Econscious that feature 100% organic cotton for a more sustainable and eco-friendly brand statement.

How quickly can I get custom cotton shirts for an event?

Standard production time is 10-14 business days after proof approval. If you're on a tight deadline, please mention your date so we can prioritize your order with our rush production services.
