First responder apparel FAQ

How much do custom police shirts cost?

A printed Gildan 5000 department tee with the badge on the front is $10 each at 24, $9 at 48 and $8 at 100, any number of colors; a city or unit name on the back adds +$3 and a sleeve flag +$3. No setup or screen fees, and orders of $50 or more ship free.

Do you make custom police hoodies?

Yes. A Gildan 18500 hoodie with a printed badge is $22 each at 24; an embroidered badge is $26 each at 24 with the $55 digitizing waived. Department name across the back and a sleeve flag are standard add-ons in the cart.

Can you embroider fire department polo shirts?

Yes — the Maltese cross or department logo stitched left chest on a Harriton M200 piqué polo is $21 each at 24, or $22 on the moisture-wicking Gildan 8800. Digitizing is free at 24 or more embroidered pieces and the stitch file is kept for every reorder.

Can you add agency logos and patches to first responder uniforms?

Yes. A badge or agency logo is embroidered straight onto the garment — one logo up to 4 × 4 inches on the chest, upper back or cap front is included in the embroidery price — and a sleeve flag print adds +$3. Embroidered sew-on patches and rank or name embroidery on each piece are quoted by email before you pay.

Is there bulk pricing for first responder uniform orders?

Yes — the per-piece price steps down at 6, 12, 24, 48, 100 and 250 pieces, and every size and color of the same style counts toward one break. 100 printed department tees are $8 each; 250 are $7. There is no quantity minimum, so a recruit class of 15 or a single replacement polo is priced the same way.

Can you do thin-blue-line and thin-red-line detailing?

Yes — thin-blue-line (police), thin-red-line (fire), thin-gold-line (dispatch), and thin-silver-line (corrections). Included in the design at no extra cost. Sleeve-flag print with thin-line detail is the top-selling upgrade for LEO and fire orders.

Do you handle memorial and LODD apparel with discretion?

Yes. We work directly with department representatives, keep the review confidential, and handle the copy with the respect it deserves. Proof revisions with the family and department in the loop.

Can we get sleeve flags on every shirt?

Yes — +$3 a shirt for one sleeve, +$6 for both. It's a standard placement option in the cart. US flag, state flag, or thin-line variant — describe what you want in the notes.

What's turnaround for a memorial event?

Standard: 4 business days of production after proof approval, then 2–5 business days of ground shipping. Rush: 2 business days of production for $50 flat. For a tighter memorial date, call us at (856) 805-0663 before you order — overnight or 2-day air can be quoted.

Can each officer get their name on the back?

Yes — individual names, badge numbers, or unit designations on each shirt are quoted per order before you pay. Send the roster with sizes and we'll quote it.
