Custom American Apparel Tees and Tops
American Apparel is a favorite for plain, well cut tees, and the styles here show why. Fine jersey tees feel light and soft, heavyweight cotton shirts hold their shape, and CVC and tri-blend fabrics add drape.
Boxy, cropped and muscle cuts sit beside classic crew and V-neck shapes, and youth and women's sizes are included. Brands, bands, shops and event teams choose them when the shirt should feel like retail clothing, with prices starting at $5.59.
Fits and fabrics
- Fine jersey: A soft, lightweight cotton tee in unisex, women's mid-length boxy and youth cuts.
- Heavyweight cotton: Thicker shirts, including garment-dyed boxy and muscle shapes, for a worn-in streetwear look.
- CVC and tri-blend: Cotton and polyester mixes with a smoother hand, offered in crew and V-neck styles.
Decorating them
- Screen print: Best for bold artwork on a larger run, and the usual choice for merch drops and club shirts.
- Full color and embroidery: Photos and gradients go on by full color, while embroidery suits small chest marks.
- Order terms: From 6 pieces, produced in 12 days, with a setup fee of $35 to $45.
If you are unsure which weight to pick, ask for a recommendation based on your design and who will wear it. A heavy cotton tee carries a large print differently from a fine jersey. Share your artwork and size spread, and we will send a proof showing the placement on the shirt before we start.

Frequently Asked Questions
Tees start around $5.59, and heavier or specialty cuts reach about $35.90. Setup comes to $35 to $45 on top. Basic jersey tees sit at the lower end, while boxy and heavyweight cuts cost more. Ask for quotes at a couple of volumes to compare.
Orders begin at 6 pieces, so a small brand or event crew can buy a short run without carrying stock. After you approve the digital proof, production is approximately 12 days. Reorders follow the same path when sizes change.
Fine Jersey is soft and lightweight with a close, classic feel, good for retail style giveaways. The Heavyweight Cotton tee is thicker and holds its shape, and it suits streetwear styled merch. The boxy versions give a looser, modern fit with a mid length hem.
Mostly 100% cotton, with some cotton blends, CVC and tri-blend options. Cotton gives a natural, breathable feel and takes screen print well. Tri-blend adds a softer, slightly heathered look. Some pieces are made with recycled materials, noted on the page.
Full color, screen print and embroidery are all available. Screen print suits bold one to few color artwork on cotton. Full color handles photographic detail and gradients. Embroidery is better for small chest logos on the heavier items.
Yes, the range includes youth, women's and unisex tees, such as the Fine Jersey youth tee and the women's boxy tee. This lets a school, camp or brand offer a matching design across audiences. Confirm the size mix when you request a quote.
