How do you choose which custom apparel provider is best for you?

It’s safe to assume you wouldn’t love receiving a mystery box of custom printed t-shirts, anxiously waiting to see if they were printed correctly.

Finding a screen printer you can trust is no easy task (until now). You want to know that an expert is ready to help you when determining what vendor to use.

Too much time and money can be wasted on inexperienced printers or large printers who outsource their work to inexperienced printers. You should get the most of your budget and a product that lasts.

How do I know Real Thread can deliver on my expectations?

Custom-printed t-shirts should be more than just something you wear. They should be something you love. They should represent your brand, or simply your personality, in an impactful way. Comfort, quality, and excellent customer service will always be at the heart of what we do—because experience, expertise, and attention to detail are what sets Real Thread apart. And that's been our motto since we opened shop in 2009, because we truly value you and your brand. Our T-shirts are super soft and comfortable.
