Custom designed from scratch gear for Rutledge businesses, schools, teams, churches, and crews. Proofs in 24 hours, delivered in 5 to 7 days.
Rutledge 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 Rutledge address in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Rutledge at about 1,300 people on 5.5 square miles of Tennessee, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Jefferson City, TN (11 mi), New Tazewell, TN (12 mi), New Market, TN (12 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. The closest major installation is Arnold Air Force Base, roughly 163 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 Rutledge.
Custom Design demand around Rutledge does not stop at the town line. Crews from Jefferson City (11 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.
Describe it in a sentence; a designer builds it and proofs it within 24 hours. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Stencil, athletic, and period-correct lettering matched to the year that matters. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Shirts, banners, and signage drawn as one matched system. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Merch collections designed with selling in mind, not just decoration. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Faded, blurry, or tiny source art gets redrawn into crisp vectors. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Unit art drawn right the first time, with anything trademark-sensitive flagged early. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
We print for units, veterans, and military families every day, and the discipline transfers. Rutledge customers get straight answers on dates, a named person on their order, and work we would put our own name on.
It also means we say no when we should. If a design will not print well at the size you want, or a date cannot be hit, you hear it before you spend money, not after.
The Design Lab puts your art on the real garment, takes your size counts, and totals the whole order, shipping included, without asking who you are.
Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks Rutledge customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
The 7.5oz boxy blank is where streetwear concepts land, oversized front or full back. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
The proving ground for new art, with an 80-color palette to frame it perfectly. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
When the design is the product, the garment dyed heavyweight makes it feel like a brand, not a handout. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Every order includes the design team. They rescue low-resolution logos, invent art from plain descriptions, and keep insignia and period typography accurate when the concept demands it. Twenty-four hours after you send the idea, the proof is in your inbox; as many revisions as it takes come free, and your written sign-off is what starts the presses.
Or open the Design Lab and lay the design out yourself, priced in real time on the exact blank.

Add-on pricing is deliberately boring: back print per the table (later $3, then $2), oversize front $3 or $2 by volume, extended sizes $6 or $4 by volume. That is the complete list, and the Design Lab computes it live before any quote is written.
Send the idea through the quote form or build it yourself in the Design Lab. A napkin sketch photographed on a phone counts, our designers have built full unit runs from less.
Twenty-four hours gets you a designer-built proof on the exact blank you chose. Iterate freely until it is right.
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.
The specs live in our archive permanently: same art, same colors, same result, on demand.
Count 5 to 7 business days, production included, for tracked delivery to Rutledge addresses. At 100 pieces shipping costs nothing; under that, the flat rates in the table are the whole story.
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.
We do, at the same pace as domestic orders. Deployed and overseas service members at APO and FPO addresses are covered 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.
The standard clock is 5 to 7 business days covering both production and delivery. Many orders can run faster; name the date and we will confirm or decline honestly.
Yes, and it costs nothing with your order. Send a sketch, an old logo, or just the idea, and a designer sends a print ready proof within 24 hours.
Yes. Runs in the hundreds of pieces with mixed sizes and colors are our normal work, managed by one point of contact from proof to delivery.
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.
Custom work does not come back: due to custom orders, all work is finalized and no returns are accepted. The protection is up front instead, a free proof that must be approved in writing before anything prints, so check sizing and art carefully at that stage.
