Gunna get a bunch of shirts done up soon.

embroidery looks great, lasts, but detail is lost.

screen print cheaper, better detail easy mulit color

yes, very nice.

Years and years ago I did screen print. I had a buddy who was in the business.

5 color. I did T shirts back then. Big logo on the back, small left chest on the front.
I had him doing every thing. Jackets, shirts, hats. I even did 150 golf type towels.

I then started doing everything with embroidery.

Both seems to have held up just as long. Meaning the shirt wore our before the ink.

Drew and I were just talking about this yesterday. We decided to go with the collar and embroidery and get rid of the t shirt with the logo on the back.

I like t shirts but I think a collar shirt looks more professional.

What type of collar shirt do you guy use
is it 50/50 or all cotton or more polyester


since you like my advise so much you had better get t shirts and screen print. LOL

Becker I use silk screen for my summer shirts (under armour), but embroidery for the polos and winter shirts.

I find the embroidery bothers my silky smooth skin in the summer.

Embroidery all the way for us. Just looks professional. Most of all I like having my name very visable to customers. They feel like they now you always seeing your name.

Don't be a pussy, silk screening is for hacks. Get your shirts embroidered. And don't use cotton or poly/cotton mix. this is 2006, get the Under Armour type "cool" shirts.

And Becker, if you really want a good deal let me know. My sister has a printing business and I can get you a smokin deal.

Dirk is too lazy to have taken advantage of this. If you want shitty shirts then go to Queensburu.com or whatever he said. If you want to look good and professional than call me.

I'll be in touch Curt. After seeing the logos some have here embroidery is an option. Seems I got bad info from a local shop. To much detail she sez.

I'd never do plain T shirts.

Polos and button ups.

Becker If you need a good embroider let me know mine does stuff for people all over USA. They do digitizing in house also at reasonable cost. They did say my logo took allot of work wasn't easy to get all the detail but they did great IMHO.

All our company shirts & coats are embroyderd and they look great. I don't think I would ever use silk screened shirts.
