Tees
Signature Soft
200–230 GSM brushed performance knit with a cotton handfeel. Built to take full-saturation print without going stiff, and to stay soft after the wash that usually ruins a printed tee.
How it's made
We print the cloth before we cut it.
Everyone else prints on a finished shirt. That one difference is why their design stops at a rectangle and ours doesn't.
01 · The order of operations
Print first. Cut second. Sew last.
Every print-on-demand service starts with a finished blank garment and presses a graphic onto the front. That's why the design always stops at the same box — a sewn hoodie can't be laid flat, a hood can't go under a press, a sleeve can't be reached, and a graphic can't cross a seam.
We go the other way. The artwork is printed onto flat fabric at full width. Then the panels are cut out of that printed fabric. Then they're sewn into a garment.

02 · Seven panels
A hoodie is seven pieces. A tee is four. Every one of them is printed.
Hoodie: Front · Back · Left sleeve · Right sleeve · Hood outer · Hood inner · Pocket. Tee: Front · Back · Left sleeve · Right sleeve. Left and right sleeves are separate files — never mirrored copies.
Designing for a garment instead of a rectangle →03 · It runs through the seam
The pattern lines up across every seam.
Because the fabric is printed before it's cut, the pattern lines up across every seam. We hold alignment to within 3 mm.
Left: one pattern, cut into adjacent panels — the stripe carries straight through. Right: what happens when panels are designed separately — the stripe breaks at the seam.
04 · It can't peel
There is no layer to lift, because there is no layer.
Heat-pressed vinyl and transfer film sit on top of the fabric. Commercial washing lifts the edges after thirty to fifty cycles — about one season. Sublimation turns the dye into a gas that bonds inside the fibre. There is no layer to lift, because there is no layer.
Why your team's names keep peeling off →05 · Sized, not scaled
The same graphic, the same physical size, on every size.
Most suppliers take your artwork and scale it up for bigger sizes, which stretches it. We lay out every size individually. A graphic is the same physical size on a 3XL as it is on a small — the larger garment simply shows more of the design.
Why your 3XL shouldn't have a stretched logo →06 · The fabrics
Chosen for how they take print — and how they wear.
Hoodies
Glacier Fleece
300–360 GSM. Substantial on purpose — a performance fleece needs real weight to hang the way a hoodie should. Brushed back, cool-touch face.
Coming
Heavyweight Cotton
240–260 GSM combed ring-spun cotton, cut and sewn.
Cotton doesn't do edge-to-edge the way these do, and we'd rather say so than sell you something that feels like a plastic sheet. What cotton cut-and-sew gives you is oversized placement no blank can carry — over the shoulder, across the seam, down the sleeve, past the hem. Far beyond the chest box, not full coverage.
07 · What we publish
The numbers, in the open.
Weight. Yarn count. Shrinkage. Colorfastness. Pill rating. Third-party test reports, on request, for every fabric we sell.
Most suppliers don't publish this. Not because they can't — because their numbers wouldn't survive it.
08 · What we won't do
Four things we'll tell you no on.
Saying what we don't do is the cheapest proof of what we do.
Flame-resistant duty wear
Not for fire or EMS. Synthetic fabric can't meet those requirements and we won't sell into it.
All-over print on cotton
The process doesn't allow it. Anyone promising it is selling you something that will feel like a plastic sheet.
White ink
Sublimation can't print white — white is the fabric showing through. We'll tell you before you design around it.
Heat-pressed names and numbers
They peel. We don't use them.
