How to plan your printed apparel

Pulling together a cohesive look takes a little coordination. Start by checking your dates. Every item is printed to order. You need to calculate the days between placing your order and the actual party or school event. Order early to avoid checking the mailbox anxiously on October 30.

Next, figure out sizing. Group orders often mean fitting adults and kids. Do not assume you know your size based on a shirt you bought five years ago from a different store. Each product page has its own size chart. Grab a flexible measuring tape and check everyone in your group. Pay close attention to the chest and length measurements, especially if you plan to wear a thick hoodie underneath a baseball jersey.

Layering is a major factor in October. A short-sleeve Hawaiian shirt works indoors, but an outdoor hayride requires a warm base layer. If you intend to wear a long-sleeve thermal shirt, measure yourself while wearing it.

When ordering personalized items, double-check your spelling. The text you type on the product page is exactly what gets printed on the item. If you want a specific number on a jersey, coordinate with your group beforehand so you do not end up with three people wearing the number seven.

For photos, think about your background. If you plan to take pictures in front of a dark house or at night, lighter colors like white or neon green will show up much better. If you are taking photos during a sunny afternoon visit to the pumpkin patch, darker shirts like black and deep purple provide good contrast against the orange pumpkins.

If you choose a pajama set, note that top and bottom sizes usually come as a single set. Review the measurements for both pieces on the size chart. You might need to compromise if your top and bottom measurements point to different sizes. By planning your last minute halloween outfit ideas carefully, you save time and keep your group coordinated all night.

Frequently asked questions

Can I put any name on the custom jerseys?

Yes, you can add a name to the personalized items by typing it into the text box on the product page. Keep it reasonably short so the printed letters fit clearly on the back panel. Add a number as well for a complete athletic look.

How do I match an outfit with my partner?

Pick the same base color or pattern theme. You can order the exact same shirt style in different sizes since each product page has its own size chart. Read our post on casual outfit ideas for couples for more tips on coordinating.

Is there a discount if I buy for my whole group?

Yes, if you are outfitting a large group, you save money by ordering together. Buying 3 or more items saves 10 percent on your total order. Group your items in one cart before checking out to apply the savings.

How do I know which size to order for kids?

Never guess a child's size based on their age alone. Each product page has its own detailed size chart. Measure the child's chest and compare it to the chart to find the right fit for that specific item.
