KyrosTee: Direct Access to Creative Apparel
We sell our stuff straight from our own website—no outside stores, no online resellers, no “partner marketplaces” or any of that. That’s honestly the only way we know how to do this. We design the things, we print them, we pack them up. Then they go out to you. It sounds simple—and yeah, it kind of is—but it also means we’re the ones who see everything along the way. We notice if a shirt doesn’t print right. We tweak the design if it doesn’t look good on actual fabric. And if something feels off, we fix it before it ships.
The things we make? Mostly T-shirts and sweatshirts. We’re not reinventing fashion—we’re just trying to make pieces that look good, feel better, and don’t fall apart. We put our own designs on them—some of them are weird, some are simple, some get reworked ten times before we say, “Okay, that’s the one.” We don’t drop a hundred new things every week. We’d rather keep a small, rotating batch of designs that actually matter to us (and hopefully to you too).
Now, sometimes people come to us with their own ideas—stuff like a photo, a favorite phrase, or even just “Can I move this graphic to the back?”—and yeah, we do that too. We have a custom service, not super formal or fancy, but we listen, and we try to make it work. Some folks want a one-off shirt for someone they love. Others want 10 matching crewnecks for a group trip. We’ve seen it all. We’re small enough to say yes to things like that.
Also—just to be clear—there’s no hidden warehouse somewhere doing the work for us. We don’t use outside printers. We don’t ship from a fulfillment center on the other side of the country. We handle the blanks, the printing, the packing—every step, in the same space, with the same people. It’s a lot of work, sure. But we care too much to let someone else mess it up.
People who find us? It’s people who know what they like—and they stick to it. We’ve had artists who wear the same hoodie for days in a row because it fits their routine. Designers who care way too much about how the collar sits. Teachers and baristas who just want something soft and solid they can wear to work and hang out in. Then there are the group orders—we’ve seen couples ordering matching sweatshirts, small bands wanting merch without going full-on mass production, even friend groups making inside-joke tees for birthdays or road trips.
So if you’re here, reading this—maybe you’re just looking for a well-made tee. Or maybe you’ve got something in your head and want help turning it into something you can wear. Either way, we’re glad you’re here. That’s kind of what we’re about.
How We Actually Make the Shirts
Thing is, you can have the coolest design in the world, but if you rush the steps that come before the print, you’ll end up wasting time and shirts. So we’ve learned—sometimes the hard way—that taking our time in the beginning saves us a lot of headaches later. It’s not fast. It’s not fancy. But it works.
Step One: The Shirt’s Just a Shirt (At First)
We don’t just buy shirts in bulk and hope they behave. Most weeks, we order based on what’s coming up—maybe we’ve got a few custom pieces, or we’re restocking some favorites, or just trying out a new color we haven’t worked with before. The shirts themselves usually come from the usual names—Bella+Canvas, sometimes Gildan Softstyle (they’ve held up over time and don’t give us weird surprises).
Boxes come in, and we don’t just let them pile up in a corner. We open them up, split everything by type, write little tags and stick ‘em on the shelves. Every shirt gets looked at. Like, actually looked at.
If it feels wrong—even if we can’t quite say why—we put it aside. Sometimes those end up being test shirts or rag stock. Sometimes they go in the donation bin. Either way, they don’t get printed.
Step Two: Prep. Lots of It.
Before anything goes near the press, we do prep. Which is not the exciting kind of work, but it’s the kind that keeps us from ruining a good blank.
We run our hands over the fabric, smooth it out, see if it curls at the edges or if the hem already looks weird. Some of this is feel. Some is just experience.
If the shirt passes that part, we check for threads, crooked seams, collars that bunch. And if the print method we’re using needs it—like DTG sometimes does—we spray a treatment over the surface. That stuff can make a shirt feel crunchy if you overdo it, and we’ve learned that less is more there.
Then we line it up. Press it flat. Get the surface ready. If it’s even a little wrinkled or off-center, the print can go sideways real quick.
Step Three: Print Happens
All our printing happens here. Not “here” as in a warehouse somewhere—we mean in this room. Same space we fold in. Same space we argue over which playlist to use.
We don’t use just one method. DTG is great when we’ve got artwork with a bunch of colors or detail. Heat press works when we’re doing poly blends or repeatable stuff. Sublimation? Only when it makes sense. We decide based on what we’re trying to make, not based on what’s easiest.
And we don’t just hit print and hope for the best. We zoom in on the file. We nudge things slightly. Sometimes the artwork looks fine on screen but sits weird on fabric, and there’s no way to know that until you’ve actually seen it printed.
Step Four: Let the Ink Rest
After printing, the shirt needs a moment. Some people forget this part. The ink looks dry, sure, but give it five minutes and you’ll see a smudge if you fold it too early.
Once cured, we press it again—not for looks, but for durability. Then we take one last look. If a thread’s hanging off, we trim it. If something just doesn’t sit right, we don’t pack it.
Honestly, most people just want their shirt to arrive clean, dry, and not smelling like chemicals. That’s what we aim for.
Labels go on last. Then the bin by the door. If the pickup guy shows up on time, great. If not, someone runs them over to the post office. It’s not always smooth. But it gets done.
Orders and Shipping — How It Usually Goes
Okay, so here’s how we do it. You order something from the site, right? It pops up on our end — there’s no magic system or anything, just… we see your name, your order, and we go from there.
If it’s something we’ve already got sitting, like we printed a batch of that design last week and there’s a stack folded already, we grab it, fold it nicer (maybe), pack it up, and yeah — usually that gets moving within a day. Sooner if we’re not in the middle of six other things.
If it’s something you asked us to change — like different name on it, or a custom thing you emailed about — then it takes a bit longer. Could be a day more. Maybe two. Depends on the queue. We don’t pretend it’s automatic. It’s us, juggling what we can.
We don’t have a support department or tickets or any of that. Just one of us reading emails. If you ask “hey where’s my stuff,” someone replies. Sometimes from their phone. Sometimes in between loading shirts into the press.
Once it’s packed up, we drop it at the post office. Usually USPS, sometimes UPS. Depends where it’s going. Not really a big thing. We print the label, slap it on, and then it’s out of our hands.
We’ll send you a mail with the thing that lets you check where your package is (unless it lands in spam — happens), and from that point on, it’s the mail folks doing their thing. Most folks get it in 5, maybe 6 days. Sometimes faster. Sometimes not. If it’s holiday season or raining sideways, it might take longer. We don’t know. We wish we did.
That’s about it. Nothing high-tech. Just us, trying to get your shirt to you without messing it up.
