Custom Printed Shirts
Our creative team loves the opportunity to create unique designs and illustrations for our clients. Whether you're looking for a simple icon on a pocket, a full scale graphic tee, or a hand drawn custom fabric, we have deep experience working with some of the most discerning names in the industry.
The following showcases a few examples of some of the graphics our design team has conceived and created to make for some exceptional garments.
Camp Shirts
Part of our exclusive clothing collection for the legendary Chicago company Morton Salt - this lightweight classic rayon camp shirt style features a bold allover print featuring Morton's most iconic visuals, complete with a Morton Salt Girl foldover label on the hem and a custom co-branded label.
We designed and sampled this bandana print shirt for Sauce Detroit, cobbling together elements from classic bandanas in an avant-garde pattern, featuring their brand colors.
FFor Lettuce Entertain You's sumptuous tiki cocktail bar Three Dots and a Dash, we designed two unique custom prints, the first based on a more classic 1940's style.
The second design is more of a classic aloha style, floral and tropical, but with rich dark and bright hues to compliment the atmosphere within.
Tees & More
To finish out our creative work for Three Dots and a Dash, we designed this whimsical print for a tie front top, using a sublimation technique for a change to get a very nice looking print on this synthetic fabric.
Our friends at The Hoxton Chicago employed us to come up with some clever merch for their impressive West Loop location. What could be a more welcome introduction to the neighborhood than this hand drawn Chicago style dog with all the accoutrements?

Goose Island Brewhouse & Merch
One our most cherished and longest standing relationships is with our Fulton Street neighbors Goose Island Beer Company. We've been collaborating on projects with them since before our own historical records (meaning we forgot to photograph them all), but here we'll highlight just a couple.
If you've spent any time in the Fulton Market district, ever gone for a tour in Goose Island's impressive brewery, or attended any one of their many street festivals, you've probably been by the Taproom. We made some embroidered chambray shirts with a custom co-branded label for staff wear and to sell in the retail shop within the Taproom.
In addition, we outfitted the classic Clybourn Brewhouse with short-sleeved shirts in a gray chambray with custom engraved black buttons and embroidery specific to that location.
Stay tuned as we continue our relationship with this most beloved of Chicago brands!

Hospitality
These handsome vintage style wool baseball caps were designed and created for our friends at The Wheelhouse Hotel, in our very own Wrigleyville. You'll see why we chose this style when you visit the eclectic baseball-themed property.
This narrow wale corduroy cap was designed for The Hoxton Chicago, a stunning hotel in the West Loop who, in addition to lavish amenities, also have a good sense of humor, since the hot dog design was the only one we pitched.Special Events
In the wake of COVID-19 shutdowns, we partnered up with Cody Hudson's Struggle Inc. to put together a line of products with an uplifting message to benefit our Chicago Hospitality United fundraiser. Some of the very first to lose work were our closest friends, clients, and patronages, so we felt it was incumbent upon us to move quickly to alleviate their collective pains. Read more about the fundraiser project here.Cannabis
We made this classy marled gray knit cap for Grassroots Cannabis, with a custom foldover label.
This is just a small sample of some of the many projects we've done over the years. Follow our instagram for more peeks behind the curtain, or better yet, contact us for some one-of-a-kind custom products of your own!

Custom Pins & Accessories
Attention to detail is the secret sauce for a superior presentation, and there's no better way to add a subtle yet unmissable touch than pins and other small accessories. They can add a fun finishing touch, or highlight and elevate your brand. Less formal than embroidery, but can often reflect your concept in a more creative way, and staff can individualize their looks more readily.
