Custom Shirts and Sweatshirts: Review of a Reordered Tee

Terrell, an Arklavo customer, left a review in April 2025 on a custom logo V-neck listing. The review covers four things in two sentences: comfortable material, a very sharp print, no noticeable shrinkage, and an immediate second order. Here is the review, unedited.

Arklavo customer review

“The material is comfy, print is very sharp and I didn't notice any shrinkage. Immediately placed a second order!”

Terrell, April 2025

What was ordered

The review sits on a listing for a custom logo V-neck tee that accepts a company logo, a team logo or custom text and graphics. Terrell does not say how many shirts were ordered, what the shirts were for or what color they were. The review does not name a brand, and the listing does not either, so nothing here claims the reviewed shirt was a Jerzees product. The review also does not say what was in the second order. The review says only that the second order was placed immediately.

What the review covers

The review's three specific points cover three things worth checking on any custom shirt order: how the fabric feels, whether the artwork looks crisp, and whether the shirt keeps its size after washing.

• Comfort. Soft, breathable fabric gets worn. A stiff shirt ends up in a drawer.
• Sharpness. Clean edges and readable text make a logo look intentional.
• Shrinkage. Shirts that change size make a team look mismatched after a few washes.

None of these can be judged from a product photo, which is why a clear proof and an honest conversation about the garment matter. If any of the three is your top priority, say so when you request a quote. It is much easier to steer the garment choice and decoration method at the start than to fix a mismatch afterward.

Choosing between tees and sweatshirts

Many buyers who start with tees come back for something warmer. If that is you, look at custom sweatshirts for a classic crewneck look. If you want the logo stitched rather than printed, the custom embroidered sweatshirts collection is the place to start. Thread on a thick fleece holds its shape through many washes and gives a raised, textured finish.

Think about where and how long the garment will be worn. A shirt for a warm-weather event, a sweatshirt for cooler outdoor days, and a V-neck tee for a more relaxed office or retail setting can all share one logo. Check each size chart separately and compare it with a garment your people already like. If you can, have two or three people from different size ranges try on a similar garment first, since a quick fit check is cheaper than reordering a size later.

Sizing a mixed group. Collect sizes from each person instead of estimating, and ask them to compare against a tee they already own. V-neck cuts can fit differently from crewnecks, and a sweatshirt is usually worn over other layers, so some people prefer to size up. Writing down how many of each size you need before you request a quote keeps the order straightforward, and it is worth double checking the count against your list of people.

Care. Shrinkage depends on the fabric and on how a garment is washed. Follow the care label on each style, and wash printed shirts inside out. A shirt that holds its size, like the one Terrell describes, keeps a team looking uniform for longer.

Decoration method and logo placement

Arklavo offers embroidery, DTG printing, heat press and, on select items, DTF. Terrell's praise for a sharp print points to what printing does best: crisp edges and full color on a tee. Embroidery is the better match for sweatshirts and simple, bold marks. Very fine lines and small text are tricky to stitch, so they are better printed or simplified.

Placement options include the left chest, center chest, the upper back, a sleeve or the back of the neck. A V-neck changes the picture slightly because the neckline dips lower, so a center chest logo should sit below the V with some space. Your proof shows exactly where it lands.

Artwork tips for a sharp result

Sharpness starts with the file. Vector artwork in SVG, PDF, AI or EPS scales cleanly to any size. PNG and JPG files are accepted too, as long as they are large and crisp rather than small web copies. Remove the background so no box appears behind the design, and make sure text is large enough to read at print size.

How ordering works at Arklavo

Quote and proof. Request a quote with your artwork. A free digital proof arrives first, and nothing is made until you approve it. There is no minimum and no setup fee.

Timing and cost. Production takes about 2 business days after approval, and US shipping runs 3 to 5 business days. Shipping is free over $150. Volume discounts of 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% apply from 10, 24, 50 and 100 pieces.

After delivery. If something is defective, tell the team within 30 days and it will be remade, repaired or refunded. Messages are answered within 1 business hour, Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm ET.

How a reorder works

Terrell placed a second order immediately, and nothing stops you from doing the same. Once approved, your design stays on file and no minimum applies to reorders. You can add more of the same shirt, add different sizes, or put the same logo on a sweatshirt. Review the new proof each time, because the same artwork can read differently on a different garment color or style.

Frequently asked questions

Will my shirts shrink?

Garments differ, and care matters. Follow the care label, and read the product page for the style you choose. The review reports no noticeable shrinkage.

Can I get the same logo on a sweatshirt?

Yes. Include both garments in your quote request, and check size and placement on the proof before you approve it.

Was the reviewed shirt a Jerzees?

This page does not say so. Neither the review nor the listing names a brand. Check the product page for the style details before you decide.

Is there a minimum order?

There is no minimum quantity. Orders of 10 or more pieces start earning volume discounts.

How long does a reorder take?

Reorders have no minimum, and your design is kept on file so you do not need to send it again.

Which file types should I send?

Arklavo accepts SVG, PDF, AI, EPS, PNG and JPG. Choose a vector file if you have one.
