The quality of the shirts were really nice for the price! Satisfied with both the material and the print quality. They were also super helpful in ensuring our shirts were ready in time for our event.
Fantastic quality of print, and the organic cotton shirt itself is very soft and well made.

I had a short time line for shirts to be made and shipped across the country. T Shirt elephant did not disappoint even got the shirts to me early !! so beyond impressed with this company
Excellent screen printing quality, and excellent selection of high quality garments. Love that I can order just 1 item instead of a large minimum order most custom garment companies require.
I've ordered a number of custom t-shirts from T-Shirt Elephant and have always been pleased with the results. The design software is easy to use, and the selection of colours and fabrics is endless. Turn-around time is short, normally just a few days before my products are in my hands. Recommended!
Was very happy with my order. Our hats look great!
Great turn around time for our team shirts and easy to contact when we had additions to our original order!
Easy to use website, quality product and effective service and delivery
The process of creating my custom hoodie for my partner was easy and clear on T-shirt elephants site. This was my first time making and ordering anything custom and they made it super easy. I chose them for that reason, and they are Canadian. No weird tax cross border stuff. my order even shipped earlier than was estimated which was awesome as it was a present. I highly recommend them.
Got a good quality shirt. They responded quickly over email when I was worried it would not arrive in time and got it to me on time.
Fast and affordable pick up for single items!
Great shirts and prices for small batches. Will use again!
Hi Jason,
I just wanted to let you know that the T-shirts worked out really well! The sizing was spot on, the quality exceeded my expectations, and the design turned out exactly as I had submitted it. Thank you for all your help throughout the ordering process. I really appreciate your assistance and responsiveness. Everyone was very happy with how they turned out.
Thanks again!
Very good service and product quality!
I used T-shirt Elephant to make t-shirts for my son's birthday. The website is easy to navigate and the customer service team was helpful. It took about 2weeks for my order to be delivered and I was very happy with the quality of the t-shirts and prints on them. I will definitely use T-shirt Elephant again for making custom t-shirts in the future.
The Quality of the print has been great. The design tool is very helpful as well.
I’ve placed another order and will be sharing my experience with my contractor friends.
I had a great experience with this company! I ordered custom aprons and needed them on a pretty tight timeline, so I asked if they could accommodate a rush order. They were very responsive and were able to have everything ready by the deadline I requested, which I really appreciated. The aprons turned out great and I’m very happy with the final product. Excellent service and would definitely recommend!

- 100% ring spun cotton — premium, soft hand feel
- 6.1 oz / 207 GSM — true heavyweight with a thick, substantial feel

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
