First time buying a custom item from T-Shirt Elephant.

I am 100% going to be making more of my work shirts and sweaters through T-Shirt Elephant going forward!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I recently ordered some custom apparel for my business, PhenX Stucco & Siding. We had a few issues with the hoodies and getting everything exactly how I wanted it, but the team at T-Shirt Elephant was great to deal with.
They were patient, professional, and willing to work with me to make things right. They took the time to respond to my concerns and made sure I was looked after.
Customer service goes a long way, especially when you're running your own business. I really appreciate the effort they put in.
Thanks again to the team at T-Shirt Elephant!
Quality is great, they came fast and customer service is excellent.

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.

- 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
