Anybody got hook ups on custom shirts..?

My firefighter 1 academy is graduating in March and i'm in charge of getting some academy shirts made. Was wondering if anyone knew any good local vendors that does good quality t shirts for a reasonable price. Probably would want around 20-25 shirts made, navy blue with one color print. small chest logo on the front and large back print.

Thanks in advance

There's a really nice place at the Newpark Mall in Fremont/Newark. I got a quote for navy blue shirts with the really high end text (super large text, the kind of text material you'd get from a higher end shirt from a retail store). If you buy 1 shirt it costs you $40, however, if you buy 20+ shirts you pay $10-12 each since you're buying in quantity.

It turns out to be a really good deal if you buy a lot of them which is perfect for you! The price is horrible if you buy only 1 of them though... I made sure to specify that the text would have to be the same kind that you'd get from a $20 skate shirt from PacSun, or similar, and not that cheap crap that you can almost peel off. So yeah, thats right up your ally dude. I got the quote about 2 days ago.

PS: The more you buy the cheaper it will be for you. The quote I got was only for 20-25 shirts, I'm sure you'll save much more if you buy 50 or so since you're thinking of doing not only the fire fighters but their families as well.

They have a bunch of sample shirts you can look at if you're interested. I don't know the name of the store, but its on the first floor right when you walk in from the parking structure entrance.


Do I rule or what?

I've got a few short sleeve and long sleeve with custom logo on the front and SEARCH AND RESCUE text on the back in big letters.

but now I get my shirts from our Chief. I'll have to email him to ask where he gets them done locally.

my mother owns a promotional business that specializes in things like t-shirts, etc. just pm me the details of what you want (images, shirt style, color, sizes, etc) and i'll send them along to her.

My father owns a screenprinting/embroidery company on the east coast that's been around since '85. They do wearables for several Nascar teams, NCAA teams and any other application you can imagine.

He has suppliers set up in CA as well (cheap delivery). If the order will be 25 or more shirts, send me a PM and I'll get you set up with him.
