Custom Design for Gilchrist: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Gilchrist crews order designed from scratch gear from us because the numbers are public and the process is simple: free design help, a written proof within 24 hours, and delivery to any Gilchrist address in 5 to 7 business days.
All 0.4 square miles of Gilchrist sit inside our normal delivery map, tracked door to door. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Crescent, OR (2 mi), Crescent Lake, OR (12 mi), La Pine, OR (18 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. The closest major installation is Kingsley Field, roughly 87 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to Gilchrist.
A typical week of custom design orders from this corner of Oregon mixes Gilchrist crews with neighbors like Crescent, 2 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
The rescue service: old logos rebuilt as clean vector files that print sharp forever. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Insignia drawn correctly, with trademark rules respected and flagged. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Describe it in a sentence; a designer builds it and proofs it within 24 hours. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Typography matched to the era, from Vietnam-period stencil to modern athletic block. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Shirts, banners, and signage drawn as one matched system. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Merch collections designed with selling in mind, not just decoration. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Gilchrist customers feel the difference on the first order.
Honesty runs in both directions here. A doomed timeline or a design that will disappoint gets called out early, with an alternative attached.
Ninety seconds in the Design Lab gets you a complete number: garment, print, sizes, upcharges, and shipping, all before any contact form.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Gilchrist customers, these three earn their keep.
When the design is the product, the garment dyed heavyweight makes it feel like a brand, not a handout. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Streetwear concepts belong on the 7.5oz max heavyweight with an oversized front or full back. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
The proving ground for new art, with an 80-color palette to frame it perfectly. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Design help is not an upsell here, it is how orders start. Describe the concept in a sentence, attach whatever reference you have, and within 24 hours a real designer returns a proof drawn as clean vectors, era-correct where it matters. Revisions cost nothing and continue until the proof is right, and your written approval is the only thing that sends it to production.
The Design Lab is there when you want to drive: upload, place, and price the design yourself on the exact garment we print.
No mystery pricing. These are the published packs on our light cotton tee, front print included, and Gilchrist customers watch the per piece cost fall as quantity climbs.

Back prints add per piece at the rate shown, dropping to $3 at 25 pieces and $2 at 50. Oversized full body fronts add $3 per piece under 25 pieces and $2 at 25 or more, and sizes 2XL and up add $6 each under 25 pieces or $4 each at 25 or more. Heavier garments follow the same pack structure at their own price points, all shown live in the Design Lab.
Start in the Design Lab on the exact garment we print, or send whatever you have through the quote form. Rough ideas are welcome, that is what the free design service is for.
The proof arrives inside a day, drawn at print size on your chosen garment and color. Change anything, as often as needed, at no cost.
Production waits for one thing only: your written sign-off on the proof. That signature is the contract for exactly what prints.
From approval, count 5 to 7 business days to your door. If the event is sooner, ask about rush and get a straight yes or no.
Everything about the run gets archived, which turns every future reorder into a one-line email.
Production plus shipping to Gilchrist addresses runs 5 to 7 business days standard, tracked the whole way. Shipping is free at 100 pieces and flat rated below that, exactly as shown in the pricing table above.
Orders ship boxed and counted against your size roster, with tracking sent the day they leave. If anything arrives short or damaged, photograph it and send it over, and we correct it at our cost.
Yes, 10 pieces. That is the smallest run we print, packs for your Gilchrist crew keep dropping the per piece price from there, and free shipping starts at 100.
File quality is our problem, not yours: vectors are ideal, 300 DPI PNGs work, and weak files get redrawn at no charge.
Yes. We ship to all 50 states and to APO and FPO addresses for deployed and overseas service members.
Completely. Build the design in the Design Lab and the full order total sits on screen the whole time; no email, no call, no waiting.
Five to seven business days, all in, from approval to arrival. Rush exists for real deadlines and gets an honest yes or no up front.
Design help is included free. Whatever you have, a napkin sketch, a faded shirt photo, a sentence, becomes a print-ready proof from a real designer within 24 hours.
Large orders are the specialty, not the exception: hundreds of mixed-size pieces, roster-counted boxes, one accountable contact.
