Chicago, specifically

Built for the way Chicago businesses actually work.

Chicago is a uniform town. Restaurant kitchens. Loop law firms. Magnificent Mile hotels. North Shore country clubs. West Loop tech companies. Every one of them needs branded garments that look right the first time and survive five years of Chicago winters.

We’ve been operating embroidery in this city since 2010. We know which garment brands hold up to a Chicago commute. We know which suppliers ship reliably from the Midwest distribution centers. And we color-match to your brand PMS values, not by eye, so the polo your team gets in 2026 matches the one a new hire gets in 2028.

The production facility is in Pilsen. Same-week turnaround on stocked-garment programs. Two to three weeks on custom-sourced runs. Pickup, delivery, or ship-direct anywhere in the metro.

How it works

Quote on Monday, embroidery on your team by Friday.

You send us the artwork (or we redraw it for embroidery if it wasn’t built for stitching). We quote within the business day. You approve. We source the garments or use ones you supply. We digitize the design, run a sample, send you a photo for approval. Then we run production.

For stocked-inventory programs (polos with rotating new-hire ships), we keep blanks in our Pilsen facility and embroider on demand. Same-week turn for any quantity.

For custom-sourced programs (specific premium brands or unusual products), plan 2-3 weeks total. Most of that is shipping the blanks; the actual embroidery is 2-3 days.
