Custom shirts, hats, and gear for Mount Clare crews, printed by a shop that lives for this work and delivered anywhere in Illinois in 5 to 7 business days.
Crews in Mount Clare 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.
Mount Clare is home to a community of 311 across 1.5 square miles, and every one of those addresses is inside our standard 5 to 7 day delivery window. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Benld, IL (2 mi), Sawyerville, IL (2 mi), Gillespie, IL (2 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. For the military community, Scott Air Force Base sits about 41 miles away, well inside our normal unit-order routes.
The Illinois military community orders here too: unit and family gear for Naval Station Great Lakes and Rock Island Arsenal, plus every recruiter, Guard unit, and veteran org chapter around Mount Clare.
The bulk-run classic: pressed ink, published packs, proven durability.
Thread instead of ink: caps, polos, and outerwear with permanent texture.
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.
Spirit gear for schools where the PTA sees the proof and the price before any form goes home. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Uniform tees, embroidered caps and polos, and workwear that survives the job. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
The civic calendar runs on volunteers, and volunteers run better in matching shirts. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Mission trip tees and congregation gear at pack rates a committee can approve. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
5K tees, tournament shirts, and memorial fundraiser runs delivered before event day. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Team shirts, fan tees, and booster fundraisers with youth and adult sizes mixed in one pack. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Mount clare customers feel the difference on the first order.
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.
Start from the garment and the rest follows. Among Mount Clare customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
For big front art, nothing beats this 8.0oz crew with its uninterrupted printing field. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
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. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
The default unit shirt: heavy cotton, an 80-color palette, and a fit that survives the wash cycle. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
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.

Twenty-four hours gets you a designer-built proof on the exact blank you chose. Iterate freely until it is 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.
Five to seven business days covers printing and delivery. Tight timeline? Rush gets a truthful quote, not a hopeful one.
Everything about the run gets archived, which turns every future reorder into a one-line email.
Every order ships tracked to Mount Clare 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Order ten, order fifty, order five hundred: 10 pieces is our floor, and for your Mount Clare group, bigger packs simply pull the per-piece price down.
