What Our Customers Say
T-Shirt elephant is excellent for small to medium run custom branded clothing. They do good design work. Can provide you with a proof before production and provide reliable consistent service
Always a pleasure working with T-shirt time to supply our merch for kids camps
Fast shipping, great communication, high quality product. Couldn't be happier!
Creating my design was easy and fun! After purchasing my apparel I also realized I neglected to use the promo code they were offering, so I emailed them and asked if it could be applied and they graciously offered it in a timely manner. Great company to use!
I made Tshirts for my daughter. They came very pretty, nice colours. She loves them and wears them constantly. I washed and dried them multiple times and print holds very well. Very pleased with my purchase. I’ll definitely order more.
The ordering process was easy, and the t-shirts arrived in a timely manner and seem nice. The printing was good quality. The only minor complaint I can make is that the web site gave me no updates on the progress of my order --- even now, having received the t-shirts, it still says my order is "being processed". So I had a couple of uncomfortable weeks wondering what was happening with my order and if it would even come. Still, in spite of that the t-shirts arrived within a day of the original estimate at the time I placed the order.
T-shirt elephant did an amazing job getting our shirts done on a tight timeline, and the quality was excellent. Couldn't recommend them more!
Great and fast work.
I am very happy with the tees I recived.
Jason was incredibly helpful in creating my design and getting the order placed. Delivery was quicker than promised, and the tee shirts are great! Thank you.

Amazing job! My husband loves his shirt!
Great selection of items at a reasonable cost. The print was amazing. I just wish they had quicker turnaround times. Overall, very satisfied!
Customer service was great, T-shirt is exactly what I wanted!
Really good job. They couldn't do embroidery like they initially said they would but the finished product was still very nice. They turned the job around quicker than advertised too which was great. Would definitely use them again.
Had a great experience working with T-Shirt Elephant and Jason to order 250 hats for our business. He was competitive, quick to reply to messages and delivered the order when requested. All around, it was a great experience and I would be happy to work with them again. :)
T shirt elephant was incredibly accommodating with me. I had many questions and requests in regards to making my work shirts.
They were very clear in explaining my options and in the end the result was incredible. I will be using this company for my work shirts moving forward without a doubt.

Ordered custum t-shirts for an event. THe shirts came in on time and were exactly as pictured. I appreciated how many options there were to custominze the shirts. The price was affordable even though I didn't order many (only 5). On top of that, custumer service responded quickly to my inquiries and helped me out after I made a mistake in the shipping options. I will for sure order shirts from them again for my next event.
I was more than satisfied with the overall service. Keep up the excellent work.

The Comfort Colors 1717 is the original garment-dyed heavyweight t-shirt — the shirt that launched the vintage, lived-in aesthetic that dominates trending apparel today. Made from 100% ring spun cotton and individually garment-dyed for a unique, soft, broken-in feel from day one, it's the #1 choice for brands, Greek life, resort merch, and anyone who wants custom t-shirts with character.
The trendiest blank t-shirt on the market. Printed in Canada with no minimums.
Fabric & Construction
- 100% ring spun cotton — premium, soft hand feel
- 6.1 oz / 207 GSM — true heavyweight with a thick, substantial feel
- Garment-dyed — each shirt is dyed after construction for a unique, vintage, broken-in look and feel
- Preshrunk — garment dyeing process pre-shrinks the fabric
- Double-needle stitching on neck, sleeves, and bottom hem
- Seamless collar — soft, comfortable neckline
- Shoulder-to-shoulder tape for durability
- Side-seamed construction — contoured fit
Fit & Sizing
- Relaxed unisex fit — generous, slightly oversized aesthetic
- Available in S through 4XL
- Garment-dyed shirts run slightly smaller due to the dyeing process — consider sizing up for an oversized look
What Makes Comfort Colors Different?
- Garment-dyed process — unlike fabric-dyed shirts, each Comfort Colors tee is dyed as a finished garment, creating a unique, slightly weathered look with natural colour variation
- Broken-in from day one — feels like your favourite t-shirt you've worn for years, right out of the box
- Vintage colour palette — muted, earthy tones that you won't find in standard blanks: Pepper, Chalky Mint, Blue Jean, Yam, Berry, Ivory, and dozens more
- Social media favourite — the most requested blank tee by content creators, influencers, and trending brands
- Gets better with age — the colours soften beautifully with each wash, developing more character over time
Best Print Methods for Comfort Colors 1717
- Screen Printing — the #1 method. The garment-dyed cotton absorbs ink uniquely, creating prints with a vintage, lived-in quality. Puff ink and discharge printing are especially popular on Comfort Colors.
- DTG (Direct-to-Garment) — outstanding on the cotton surface. Full-colour prints blend into the fabric for a soft, worn-in look.
- DTF (Direct-to-Film) — works on all colours with vibrant results.
- Embroidery — the heavyweight fabric provides an excellent base for embroidered logos.
