T-ShirtVeterans
Unit gear, PT shirts, and morale apparel for Army personnel at Fort Irwin, printed by veterans and delivered to base or door in Barstow, California.
Off post, Barstow counts about 25,000 people, and family or veteran-org orders there ship on the same timeline as unit orders to the gate. The wider footprint matters for family days and homecomings, and Lenwood, CA (4 mi), Yermo, CA (13 mi), Silver Lakes, CA (19 mi) are all close enough to share one order.
We print for units stationed at Fort Irwin and across the Army: company PT shirts, deployment and homecoming tees, ball and ceremony apparel, and morale gear your formation will actually wear. Every price includes the front print, proofs arrive within 24 hours, and nothing prints until your point of contact approves it in writing.
We know how Army orders actually move: a volunteer POC, a first sergeant or chief who wants it right, a date that cannot slip, and a size roster that changes twice. The process below is built around exactly that.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Army units 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.
The bulk-run classic: pressed ink, published packs, proven durability.
Digitized in-house so small text stays sharp on caps and chest logos.
Photograph-grade prints from a 10 piece run up.
The all-over method: dye becomes part of the polyester itself.
13oz vinyl banners and signs sized to be read at distance.
A real designer builds your art before anything prints.
At pack quantities this runs through the press at the best per piece price we offer, with ink laid thick enough to survive hundreds of wash cycles. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Family shirt runs from 10 pieces and 4x8 photo banners for the Barstow pier, hangar, or parade field. Return dates slip, so we print these fast and quote rush honestly.
Stitched, not printed, so it reads professional up close and survives years of wear without cracking or fading. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Single pieces and family runs handled with the care they deserve, moved to the front of the schedule when a service date demands it.
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 Army units pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
An 8.0oz fleece crew with a clean uninterrupted front, the best canvas we stock for big crests and old school block lettering. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Big-run economics start here: light ringspun cotton from $12 at volume, with the front print already in the price. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
The standard. 5.3oz heavy cotton in more than 80 colors including military green, sand, and every heather. Holds shape wash after wash. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
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.
Here is what Fort Irwin units actually pay, starting from our light cotton tee. Every price includes a standard front print, and the number only moves down as the pack gets bigger.
| Quantity | Pack price | Per shirt | Shipping | Add back print |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pack of 10 | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 15 | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 20 | $320 | $16 ea | $20.99 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 25 | $375 | $15 ea | $20.99 | $3 ea |
| Pack of 50 | $700 | $14 ea | $22.99 | $2 ea |
| Pack of 100 | $1200 | $12 ea | FREE | $2 ea |
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.
The first step is just getting the idea out of your head: type it into the quote form or mock it up in the Design Lab, rough edges and all.
A real designer, not an algorithm, sends your proof within 24 hours. You change it as many times as it takes to be right.
The press does not move without your written yes. It is the single checkpoint that makes the no-returns policy fair.
Standard turnaround is 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, with rush available when the calendar demands it.
Your art and specs stay on file, so reorders match the first run exactly, down to the ink.
The blanks range from a 4.5oz summer tee to a 7.5oz max heavyweight, the ink is cured so it moves with the fabric instead of flaking off it, and the stitching is digitized in-house for legibility at any size. If something fails because of production, the remake is free; if a request will not survive real use, you hear it before ordering.
Plenty of giant websites will print a shirt. Here a human designer builds and checks your proof instead of an upload widget guessing at print quality, pack pricing is published up front instead of revealed at checkout, and your order has one named person who answers questions and chases the deadline. Because everything is custom, we are honest about the trade: no returns on finished work, which is exactly why the written proof approval exists.
Count 5 to 7 business days, production included, for tracked delivery to Fort Irwin, on base delivery points, and Barstow addresses. APO and FPO addresses ship at the same pace, so deployed elements are covered. At 100 pieces shipping costs nothing; under that, the flat rates in the table are the whole story.
Before sealing, every carton is counted against the size roster, and tracking goes out the same day. Anything short or damaged gets replaced at our cost on an expedited timeline.
Absolutely. Bulk is where pack pricing shines, and big mixed-size runs ship counted against your roster with a single person accountable for the date.
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.
Yes, 10 pieces. That is the smallest run we print, packs for your unit at Fort Irwin 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.
Deployed addresses are first-class here: APO and FPO ship on the standard timeline, right alongside all 50 states.
