How it works

From idea to finished piece

  1. Step 1

    Tell us the job

    Request a quote with the item, the quantity and your date, or design it yourself in a live builder.

  2. Step 2

    Approve the proof

    You see it before we make it. Check every letter: once you approve, it goes into production.

  3. Step 3

    We make it in house

    Engraved, stitched, printed or fabricated in our Pittsburgh shop. No middlemen.

  4. Step 4

    Pick up or ship

    Most jobs ship in 3 to 5 business days, embroidery in 1 to 2 weeks. Rush? Ask first.

Questions

Good to know

Still not sure? Call or text and talk to the shop.

How long does production take?

Most orders ship in 3 to 5 business days. Embroidery takes 1 to 2 weeks. Same-day DTF is often possible: ask first.

I need it faster. Can you rush it?

Usually, yes. Contact us before you order with the date you need it and we will confirm it before you pay.

Do I get a proof?

Yes. Custom work gets a proof to approve before anything is made. Check every letter: once you approve it, we make it.

What files should I send?

Vector files (AI, EPS, SVG, PDF) or a 300 DPI PNG give the sharpest results. Have a sketch or a blurry logo? Our design service can rebuild it.

How do design services work?

Send your idea, images and notes. We reply within 24 hours with a design quote. Design includes up to two proofs, and you own the finished design and files. Not needed for a simple photo or text on a product.

Do you do large orders for departments and businesses?

Every day. Fire departments, businesses and events are our regulars: patches, uniforms, drinkware and gifts from one piece to hundreds. Request a quote with the quantity and date.
