T-ShirtVeterans
Custom shirts, hats, and gear for Colon crews, printed by a shop that lives for this work and delivered anywhere in Michigan in 5 to 7 business days.
Crews in Colon order from us the same way the big-city ones do: published pack pricing, free design help, and a written proof before a single shirt prints.
With about 1,200 people spread over 1.4 square miles, Colon gets the same flat delivery promise as everywhere else we serve: 5 to 7 business days to any door. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Sherwood, MI (5 mi), Mendon, MI (8 mi), Burr Oak, MI (8 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. The closest major installation is Grissom Air Reserve Base, roughly 92 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
The Michigan military community orders here too: unit and family gear for Camp Grayling and Selfridge Air National Guard Base, plus every recruiter, Guard unit, and veteran org chapter around Colon.
Best per-piece price at volume, with ink that outlives the garment.
Thread instead of ink: caps, polos, and outerwear with permanent texture.
Full color small runs from just 10 pieces.
Edge-to-edge jerseys and performance gear with print in the fibers.
13oz vinyl banners and signs sized to be read at distance.
From napkin sketch to print-ready vectors, free with any order.
From the dugout to the bleachers: team and booster runs with all sizes priced together. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Spirit gear for schools where the PTA sees the proof and the price before any form goes home. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Shop shirts and stitched caps that make a small crew read like an established company. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Festival tees, cleanup-day shirts, and volunteer gear for the events that hold a town together. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Service group shirts, from food drives to youth retreats, priced openly by the pack. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
5K tees, tournament shirts, and memorial fundraiser runs delivered before event day. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
This shop exists for the military community, and it shows in how orders run. Deadlines are treated like formation times, proofs are honest instead of optimistic, and when Colon customers call, a person who owns the order answers.
The same discipline applies inward: an unrealistic date or a design that will not print well gets flagged before you commit, not explained after.
Ninety seconds in the Design Lab gets you a complete number: garment, print, sizes, upcharges, and shipping, all before any contact form.
Start from the garment and the rest follows. Among Colon customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
Eighty-plus colors of 5.3oz heavy cotton, from military green to every heather, that keeps its shape through the laundry years. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
For big front art, nothing beats this 8.0oz crew with its uninterrupted printing field. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
The budget workhorse for big runs. 4.5oz light ringspun cotton that keeps a 100 piece order affordable, from $12 a shirt at volume with the front print included. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Most orders here start without finished artwork, and that is fine. Our in-house designers redraw low resolution logos as clean vectors, build new designs from a written description, and match era-correct type and insignia when the design calls for it. The service costs nothing with an order, the first proof lands within 24 hours, and revisions are unlimited. You approve the final art in writing before production, so the shirt that arrives is the shirt you signed off on.
Want to try it yourself first? The Design Lab lets you upload art, add text in stencil and athletic fonts, and position everything on the exact garment with live pricing the whole time.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Colon customers see.

Three add-ons exist and all are flat per piece: the back print at the table rate ($3 from 25 pieces, $2 from 50), the oversized front at $3 or $2 depending on quantity, and extended sizes at $6 or $4. Nothing else gets added. The Design Lab applies every rule automatically, and the written quote confirms the total before anything is charged.
Kick it off however suits you: describe the concept in the quote form or drop your art straight into the Design Lab. Polish is not required at this stage.
A real designer, not an algorithm, sends your proof within 24 hours. You change it as many times as it takes to be right.
Nothing goes to press until you approve the proof in writing. What you sign off on is exactly what prints, that is the whole point of the proof.
Standard turnaround is 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, with rush available when the calendar demands it.
The specs live in our archive permanently: same art, same colors, same result, on demand.
Every order ships tracked to Colon addresses with standard production plus shipping at 5 to 7 business days. Free shipping kicks in at 100 pieces, and pack shipping rates below that are published, not surprises at checkout.
The roster is the packing list: every size counted into the box, tracking issued at pickup, and any shortage or transit damage made right at our cost without argument.
The extended-size rule fits in one line: add $6 per piece below 25 total, $4 per piece at 25 or more. The Design Lab applies it automatically.
Finality is the nature of custom work: no returns once it prints. Your protections live earlier in the process, in the free proof and the written approval that nothing skips.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your colon group can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
Send whatever exists. Vectors print perfectly, high resolution PNGs print clean, and anything below that gets redrawn free by the design team before it goes near a press.
Deployed addresses are first-class here: APO and FPO ship on the standard timeline, right alongside all 50 states.
Yes, and without giving up your email: the Design Lab keeps the complete total, packs to shipping, on screen while you design.
Count 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, production included. Tighter date? Ask about rush and you get a straight answer before paying.
