All the tees I sell are printed in Cullman, Alabama. When I say Printed in the USA, I can show you exactly where.
A lot of shirts online look great until they show up. They look like the same design as mine and even use the same photos BUT a completely different shirt in your hands. Thin fabric. Faded print. Just feels off. You know it’s gonna flake after the first wash.
That’s not what I’m doing here.
Every tee is printed in the USA on proper cotton blanks with a print that holds up a lifetime. The kind you reach for again instead of tossing to the back of the drawer.
It costs me more to do it this way, but I’d rather get it right than send you something you regret buying.
I believe that we don’t need to cheap out and we can still make cool products.
All the American Classics shirts I sell are printed in Cullman, Alabama. Be assured that your purchase is helping American businesses and not Chinese ones!
Why does it matter? Well it matters to me! If that doesn’t matter to you then keep shopping at Chinazon and Shemu*
I believe that we don’t need to cheap out and we can still make cool products – right here
Always Printed in the USA
First thing is that I can ensure the highest quality printing using the latest in DTG printing technology. We have been working for over a decade on advanced print methods to deliver the highest quality tees on a full range of sizes without having lots of wastage. We are very proud of our print quality at American Classics and hope you will be impressed too. We keep stock on most of our t-shirts but with such a huge range of designs or when they sell out we need to print more in-house which can take between 3 to 5 working days – I will explain in more detail in this section.
Third, in the rare case that the print or shirt is not up to scratch, I can quickly reprint it for you and get it you – no waiting for China or India or wherever!
Finally, and probably the dealbreaker, I have to print it here! The American Classics licenses are for North America only – so to ensure that the t-shirts live up to the exacting standards of the American brands – no cheap knock-offs, no fakery – only the highest quality, licensor approved prints. You have no idea how much work goes into doing this legit – I go into more detail here.
That all being said, I am proud that everything is printed in-house in the States.
In short, no not all of them. With the cost of American manufacturing and wages, the shirts would retail at over $90 if all the shirts were made in the US. However, we do not use 3rd world cheap labor or cheap materials from China or Pakistan.
We do use USMCA approved manufacturers that produce to the highest quality that ship directly into the US from local countries. The shirts may be finished quality – but it’s the print that makes it cool!
If you have any questions about it, I am happy to go through in detail how the shirts are made, you can hit me up below
