"Stock Shirt" Defined:
Any shirt we have in stock for immediate delivery. The primary distinction from any category of "Custom Shirts" is that, "Stock Shirts" are fully assembled, whereas "Custom" category shirts are sublimated before they are assembled.

From here, however, we divide the "Stock Shirts" into 2 catagories:

1. Dyed or Production Sublimated - All in our original fabric - All but the white solid color shirts were dyed at the mill, and cannot be sublimated. If you insist we can sublimate the white shirts, and we will do it a discount because we would love to get rid of our considerable remaining inventory, but be forewarned, the sublimation process leave an impression on this fabric where the press came down. "Production Sublimated" stock shirts - our stock STI shirt and Burkett Video shirts - may not be further sublimated.

2. Raw Techstatic Fabric - Polo and T-Shirt Styles - These shirts may be "Customized", we can sublimate onto them in a variety of ways, and our capabilities will probably surprise you. This has become our most popular shirt product because there are no minimums, and quick delivery - turnaround on a "Customized Stock Shirt", once we have your logos or art set, is less than a week. A picture is worth a thousand words, so we will explain further using pictures below.

For Stock Shirt Prices please see "Purchase Stock Garments".


Customizable Stock Shirt Defined:
Our "Stock" Techstatic Polos and T-Shirts may be "Customized" in several ways. Two Customization Styles are available for the Polo Shirt, and one for the T-Shirts. This has become our most popular shirt product because there are no minimums, and quick delivery - turnaround on a "Customized Stock Shirt", once we have your logos or art set, is less than a week.

Customizable Stock Shirt Pricing:
As you already may know, the price of of our Techstatic Polo Shirt is $49.95, and the price of our Techstatic T-Shirt is $29.95. The "Sublimation" charges are the same for the Polo and T-Shirt:
Style 1 - Front and Back: $10
Sleeves each: $2.50

Our new "Shirt Builder" software is in development. Until it is done "Customizable Stock Shirts" must be ordered by phone. Please call Joe at 631-244-4513. Quantity Pricing is available.


Semi-Custom Shirt Defined:
The design (layout) of these shirts is set, however you may change the colors palette, 2 logos (on each front and rear), and your name at no extra charge. Additional logos, in Vector Format, may be added at a flat rate of $5 each. As we mentioned earlier, the designs of these shirts is set, the pattern files have been created and all matching has been checked (everything Lines Up), so, besides color and names, any other departure from the layout of these shirts makes it a Full Custom project, and these changes will incur design charges at $55 per hour.

Solid Color Shirts: A solid color shirt design, or shirt component color block designs (for example: sleeves one color, collar and side panels another, shirt body a third color) incur NO design charges in and of themselves, only logo/art placement and services if necessary. Again, we will add your name and 2 logos (front and rear) at no extra charge. Additional logos, in Vector Format, may be added at a flat rate of $5 each.

TechwearUSA maintains a large library of logos from various manufacturers, many, however, require specific permission for their use. We will tell you if you need permission, and provide you with contact information, but it is your responsibility to obtain this permission. If the required logo is not on file, then you must obtain the art file (see art tutorial), and permission from the owner for its use. If you have a logo, or art, and want to know if we can use it without conversion to vector format (art tutorial), email it to us, and we'll let you know, but the below will still be required.

Please be clear on this: Have all of the art files (ones we do not already have), and/or permissions sent to you. When you have them all, send us everything at once (as attachments to your email), along with the quantities and sizes, and your credit card information, address, phone, and etc … Save your sent email to us for reference. This is the day your custom order actually begins, from here your order will take at least 3 months.

"Full Custom"
A "Full Custom Shirt" is a shirt is created for you by one of three methods:
1. Modify an existing shirt design from our library,
2. Making your sketch into a reality, or,
3. Conceiving a whole new design from scratch.

The real thing here is artist time, other than art charges there is no distinction between a "Full Custom", and "Semi-Custom" shirt.

If you want to "Conceive a whole new design from scratch", you must retain the services of a graphic artist, let us know if you need us to refer you to a graphic artist, and we will happily provide provide you with contact information.

If you want to "Make your sketch into a reality", or "Modify an existing shirt design from our library", we'll have to play that one by ear, if it is a simple enough idea we may offer you the option of having us do it for you at our design rate of $55 per hour.

A clarification about any "Custom" category shirt: they are individually made, in exactly the same manner, and with exactly the same materials, so the price of the shirts themselves and the minimum order quantity, never varies (until we reach quantities of over 200, at which point you have to call us, and we'll have a nice chat).Art tutorial

Important notes about the services of a graphic artist: The design must still be vetted by us to make sure that two things are correct:

A. The shirt has to "Line Up" correctly. Explanation: The shirt sleeves, front, and back of a shirt, are asymmetrical, but the artists never draw them that way, so, with shirt designs in which there are lines, or a pattern, that flows around a sleeve, or from the chest, through the sleeve, and into the back, in order to maintain the integrity of the design when the shirt is sewn together, we frequently have to make some quite difficult corrections, requiring our time at $55 per hour.

B. Colors: We need to vet the colors to be sure that they will turn out to be what you want. Remember, our Techstatic fabric is a silvery grey, but a graphic artist has no choice but to treat it as though it were white. If the exact colors are critical, this would involve our time at $55 per hour.

Now, the shirt body design may not be the whole story, since there is usually a commercial or personal art component, PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND: Not until the artwork is truly complete, will we place your order. Here follows a brief discussion of logos and art:
