Family T-Shirts

[Naterfan]

We're wanting to wear matching shirts during one of our park visits, and I've got a few questions:

1. Do the vinyl shirts last?
- Not the home-made iron-on decals, our attempts have cracked after just one washing.

2. How hard is it to find a company that does custom silk screening?
- I've looked on Etsy, but I've found that most shops don't actually mention how the image is put onto the shirt.

3. Has anyone tried the Personalization Shop on the Disney Store site?
- I couldn't find the "Disney" font when editing the text I wanted, and I'm guessing they're vinyl as well.

4. As for embroidered shirts, have any of you noticed them stretching oddly after a wash...the shirt shrinking but the embroidery not so much?

custom ink and a wide variety of other online vendors do custom silk screen shirts. Also must towns have small shops that will do the same. They are the hometown sports apparel suppliers that do items such as letter men's jackets and youth league sports clothes,

www.sugaredink.com Does custom shirt made to order. They are actual printed shirts, not decals.

You're a genius. I found a shop about 20 minutes from my house, and if there's a way to get an image onto a shirt, they can do it. For the life of me, I can't fathom why I never thought to think locally.

Most are probably done with a transfer that's heat pressed on. That's what my friend and I do for local sports teams and whoever request personalized shirts. Most transfers last for years of washing.

Check out Rock Sports apparel Shops online. I have an order with them right now and they have great prices. I have seen others shirts that have used them. They look awesome, I usually do my own but these were way cheaper. Like $4-5 per shirt.

Go to the Hanes shop at Disney Springs. Tons of options there. A little pricey, but you'll get awesome shirts.

We cut out our own stencils and hand-paint the designs onto our shirts. It's a great pre-trip time killer!

Tie Dying and air brushing, worked out pretty nicely for us.

1. Yes vinyl shirts last if the vinyl is applied correctly. I have an Etsy shop and I do custom vinyl shirts, among other things, so I am speaking from experience! The vinyl will last and is applied via heat transfer.

2. Personally have not looked into silk screening.

3. I have not tried the shop on Disney either.

4. I've also ordered custom embroidered shirts on Etsy and have had no problems with them either. Also a very good choice!

Hope that helps. (I love the idea of finding a local shop for this!)
