You deserve the best custom apparel.

Custom shirt printing is all over the place. And all over the internet. The only commonality shared by most is that they use plastisol inks, because it’s fast and cheap.

At Real Thread, starting way back in 2009, we decided to stand apart from this pack. We decided to do things differently. The right way. The real way. We decided to care about the environment as much as we care about the products we’re producing. We decided to become the leading experts in high-quality, eco-friendly, sustainable, water-based inks. A difference you have to see and feel to understand.
