Brooklyn has no shortage of places that will sell you a printed shirt. What is harder to find is a shop that will look at your artwork, tell you honestly which decoration method it actually needs, and then run it themselves.
We are across the Verrazzano in Staten Island. We do embroidery and DTF in house, and handle screen printing through a trusted print partner, for Brooklyn businesses, teams, schools, clubs and organizations.
All three methods, and a straight answer about which one you need
Most shops specialize in one method and quietly steer every job toward it. We run all three, which means the recommendation is based on your job rather than on our equipment.
- Embroidery — polos, jackets, caps, workwear, anything worn daily for years. The most durable option by a distance.
- Screen printing — bulk tees and hoodies in one or two colors. Cheapest at volume.
- DTF — full color, photographic artwork, small runs, personalisation. No screens, no setup, no color limit.
If you are not sure, that is fine. Tell us what the garment is for and how hard it is going to get used and we will tell you. Longer version: which method actually lasts.
What Brooklyn customers order from us
- Staff and crew apparel for restaurants, bars, gyms, studios and shops
- Contractor and trade workwear — hi-vis, work shirts, jackets
- Small-batch merch for brands and venues testing a design
- Club and organization apparel, including patches and back pieces
- School and team apparel with names and numbers
- Event and fundraiser shirts, often in a hurry
Digitizing is included, permanently
Embroidery needs your logo turned into a stitch file by hand before anything runs. Most shops charge for that, and many charge again on your next order. We include it on the first order at any quantity, and keep the file, so every reorder matches the original exactly.

Getting it to Brooklyn
We ship, and shipping from Staten Island to Brooklyn is quick and cheap. Local pickup is free if you would rather come and collect — for a large order, or for anything where you want eyes on it before it goes to your team, that is usually the better call.
We are appointment only, Monday to Saturday, 9 to 5, so call ahead rather than turning up.
A proof before production, every time
Embroidery gets a stitched sample. Print gets a digital proof. Nothing goes into production until you have said yes, because thread and ink do not look like a screen mockup and the time to catch that is on one piece, not two hundred.
What to send
- Artwork — vector (
.ai,.eps, vector.pdf) preferred, large PNG fine - Quantity, and a size breakdown if you have one
- The garment you want, or just describe the use
