How your American Apparel shirts are decorated
Real embroidery and print on American Apparel garments, decorated and finished in our own shop.
Embroidery or print, your call
We embroider your logo straight into the performance knit for a raised, durable finish, or run DTG and heat press print when you want full-color detail across the chest or back.
We digitize your artwork
Our team turns your logo into clean stitch files or print-ready art and shows you a proof to approve, so the finished shirt matches your brand exactly.
Made to be worn hard
American Apparel garments built for everyday wear, finished and checked by hand in our own US workshop before they ship.
Why custom American Apparel shirts from Arklavo beat the usual options
Real stitched embroidery or print on American Apparel garments, no minimum, and days not weeks. It is a combination no promo shop, online marketplace, or local embroiderer offers all at once.
| Option | Real stitched embroidery | No minimum | Days, not weeks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Promo shops | Sometimes | Often minimums | Varies |
| Online marketplaces | Varies by seller | Print only | Varies |
| Local embroiderer | Yes | Often a minimum | Often weeks |
| ArklavoBest value | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Comparison reflects typical offerings in each category, not any single named company. Many no-minimum options apply only to printing or set a separate minimum for embroidery. Arklavo decorates a single shirt with no minimum, by embroidery or print.
The digital proof came back quickly and the embroidery sat perfectly on the polo chest. The whole coaching staff is wearing them every match day.
No minimum meant we tested one shirt before the full corporate order. The fit and the logo looked exactly like the proof. Reordering was easy.
Crisp embroidery, fast turnaround, and the polos have held up through a full season of wear. Great quality for a recognized brand.
Market outlook
The market data lines up with what we see every week. Branded apparel is the biggest category in promotional products, and everyday shirts are a growing share of it as teams move away from cheap basics in favor of quality fabrics they can actually wear at the game and in the office. More businesses are choosing stitched logos on quality garments, and they want it without a fifty-piece minimum. That is the shift we built Arklavo around.

- share of the decorated-apparel market now decorated by embroidery, the finish most corporate teams and sports clubs want

Everything to know about american apparel custom shirts
American Apparel custom shirts are soft, everyday clothing: tees, quarter-zips, and jackets built for teams that want comfortable fabric and a recognized name. Arklavo decorates these garments in house using embroidery, DTG, and heat press. The result is a sharp branded shirt that holds up through daily wear and washes. We carry American Apparel tees and layering pieces in a range of colors, with more shades available on request.
Choosing your custom American Apparel shirts
American Apparel garments are everyday clothing: branded tees, quarter-zips, and jackets built for sports clubs and corporate teams that want a recognized name on quality fabric. The tee is the go-to for front-of-house staff and company outings. The quarter-zip suits coaching staff, outdoor crews, and anyone who needs a smart layer over daily wear. Both styles decorate cleanly with embroidery on the left chest or printed logos across a larger area.
Embroidery, DTG, or heat press
We embroider your logo into the chest or sleeve for a raised, durable finish that holds up on performance fabric, or run DTG and heat press print when you want full color across a large area. Embroidery works best for long-term staff and team wear. Print suits detailed art, gradients, and event designs. We digitize your artwork in house at no charge before sending a proof.
Ordering, no minimums, and reorders
There is no minimum, so you can order a single shirt to check the color, fit, and decoration before a full team run. The price per shirt falls as quantity rises. We send a free digital proof before anything is made. Once your logo is on file, reorders take less time to set up.
American Apparel custom shirts suit sports clubs, corporate teams, fitness studios, hospitality staff, and any business that wants its logo on a quality garment with a name people already trust. Embroidery looks sharp on a left chest or sleeve; full-color print covers big front graphics and detailed art. Tee for a polished everyday look, quarter-zip for a cooler-weather layer.

Sizing and fit for American Apparel shirts
American Apparel shirts are real apparel sizes, not one size. We carry unisex XS to 3XL on most styles, with the exact range set by the style you pick. Here is how to size a run for a team.
Unisex XS to 3XL
Most American Apparel performance styles run unisex XS to 3XL. The fit is athletic, sitting close through the shoulders and chest. If your crew wants a relaxed fit over an undershirt or base layer, size up one. We can sort a full size run on your order. Ask on your quote if you need youth or women-specific cuts.
Fit by style
A tee sits relaxed and polished, suited for client-facing roles and everyday wear. A quarter-zip wears trimmer and layers cleanly over a shirt or base layer. Tell us the look you want and we will match the style and size run to your team.
