What Our Customers Say
I can't recommend T-Shirt Elephant enough!
I was in charge of ordering all the swag for our family reunion (custom t-shirts and tote bags), and after a very frustrating experience with Custom Ink, I found T-Shirt Elephant at the last minute. I had been extremely clear with Custom Ink about my deadlines, but on the day I was finally ready to place the order for tote bags, they suddenly told me they couldn't get everything to Canada in time, even though they had assured me multiple times that they could.
In a panic, I emailed T-Shirt Elephant explaining that my request was urgent and asking if there was any way they could help. Not only did they respond quickly, but they delivered everything on time exactly as promised.
Then, just a week later, Custom Ink let us down again by repeatedly altering the design that my family member had worked so hard to create for our T-shirts. She was understandably upset, so I reached back out to T-Shirt Elephant with another last-minute request. Once again, they came through without hesitation, respected our design, met our tight deadline, and made the entire process seamless.
The quality of the shirts and tote bags was fantastic, and everyone at the reunion was blown away by the swag. Most importantly, the family member who designed everything was so happy to see her vision come to life exactly as she intended.
Thank you, T-Shirt Elephant, for turning two stressful situations into huge successes. Your customer service, reliability, and attention to detail far surpassed any other company I looked into. I'll absolutely be using you again!
Arrived on time, print quality was great. Fair pricing.
Beautiful printing. Excellent service. Excellent shirt quality. Very satisfied. We will continue to order for the winter. And we will recommend to friends
Excellent service with a short lead time. The dry-fit t-shirts I ordered were perfect and the silk screening on the front and bak of the logo and the year came out great with just the right placement. They know what they are doing and it shows in the quality of their work. I look forward to doing business again with them very soon.
They were able to resize my graphic without loss of fidelity. The printed graphic, while plastic, is well bonded to the material.
The shirt itself is a good weight, and delivery cost was reasonable, if a bit slow.
All in all a really good experience
Amazing quality! Tank tops arrived in time for our pickleball tournament!
Absolutely fantastic! It was my first time printing my own artwork on a T-shirt, and the whole process was very easy. The website is intuitive and user-friendly, also shipping was extremely fast. The quality of the product is out of this world, from the material (heavy cotton) to the print quality itself. I’ll definitely be printing more stuff in the future!
I ordered 3 shirts and 2 hats. After I placed my order, I emailed them to confirm a detail, that was after hours. They responded first thing the next business day and were quick to respond after that.
The quality of the shirts and hats are great and the printing came out perfect.
I definitely recommend Tshirt Elephant for printing jobs, especially if you don’t need a lot as they allow any amount of printing.
The ordering and pick up process was easy and we are very happy with the final product.
This wasn't our first time ordering from Tshirt Elephant, and it won't be our last!
The shirts look great! The delivery didn't show up on the original timeframe, but life happens and sometimes things don't go to plan! The important part is how Tshirt Elephant handled the delay. They fielded my panic, were kind, and very fast responses from customer service. I would absolutely use again!
A wonderful company! We have been in correspondence with Jason, and we are very happy with the help and guidance he has offered for our apparel needs. We recommend T-Shirt Elephant to all of our friends.
5 Stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Needed a few tactical shirts with our logo done for an event on the same day, and they made it happen!! The turnaround was incredibly fast, the shirts came out exactly how we wanted, and the whole process was seamless. Couldn't have asked for better service. Highly recommend!
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.
Love the shirt good quality printing I’ll definitely be going back for all my printing and embroidery needs

Everything You Need to Know About Custom Work Shirts
Canada's trusted custom work shirt partner since 2012
Custom work shirts Canada businesses order fall into three main categories, each designed for different work environments, dress codes, and durability requirements. Understanding the differences helps you choose the right shirts for your team and budget.
Industrial Work Shirts (SP14 & SP24)
Industrial work shirts are built for physical labour environments, construction sites, manufacturing floors, automotive shops, and maintenance facilities. The SP14 Long Sleeve ($22.85) and SP24 Short Sleeve ($25.00) feature heavyweight fabric, button-front closures, chest pockets, and reinforced seams designed for demanding daily use.
Everyday Woven Shirts (D6021, L6021, D6013, L6013)
Woven work shirts bridge the gap between industrial durability and professional appearance. Available in both short sleeve ($22.00) and long sleeve ($25.00) with matching ladies cuts, these shirts suit offices, service businesses, and customer-facing roles across Canada.
Easy-Care Twill Shirts (S04600 & S04601)
The Camden Easy-Care Twill ($22.95) shirts feature poly-cotton twill fabric that resists wrinkles and maintains a crisp appearance throughout the workday. Available in men's and ladies ($22.95) cuts with 6 colour options. Ideal for corporate uniforms, property management, and professional service companies.
Choosing the Right Work Shirt
Select industrial shirts for physical labour. Choose woven shirts for professional versatility. Pick easy-care twill for corporate and office environments. T-Shirt Elephant can mix styles within a single custom work shirt order, different shirts for different roles, all with matching company branding.
Industrial work shirts deliver the heavyweight construction and reinforced features that tradespeople and industrial workers demand. These are not dress shirts, they are purpose-built garments designed for physical labour, tool use, and daily wear in demanding environments.
SP14. Industrial Long Sleeve Work Shirt ($22.85)
The ATC SP14 is our most popular custom work shirt for trades and industrial applications. Heavyweight 4.25 oz twill fabric with button-front closure, two chest pockets with button flaps, and pencil slot. Available in 10 colours including Navy, Black, Charcoal, and Grey. The long sleeve design provides arm protection for welding, grinding, and outdoor work across Canada.
SP24. Industrial Short Sleeve Work Shirt ($25.00)
The ATC SP24 provides the same heavyweight construction as the SP14 in a short sleeve format at $25.00 CAD. Ideal for warm-weather trades work, indoor industrial environments, and automotive shops where arm coverage is unnecessary. Same 9 colour options and dual chest pockets.
Industrial Shirt Features
Both industrial work shirts feature: button-front closure for easy on/off over base layers, two chest pockets with button-flap closures for secure tool and supply storage, pencil slot for writing instruments, and reinforced seaming at stress points. These details separate industrial work shirts from standard button-downs.
Best Industries for Industrial Shirts
Construction companies in Toronto, automotive shops in Calgary, HVAC contractors in Edmonton, electrical firms in Vancouver, and manufacturing plants in Hamilton choose industrial custom work shirts Canada tradespeople wear for their combination of durability, professional appearance, and embroidery-friendly fabric.
Everyday woven work shirts deliver a clean, professional appearance suitable for customer-facing roles, office environments, and service businesses. Available in 7 colours with both men's and ladies cuts, these shirts create cohesive team uniforms with your company branding.
D6021. Short Sleeve Woven Shirt ($22.00)
The ATC D6021 is our most affordable custom work shirt at just $22.00 CAD. Clean button-front design with a professional collar, suitable for offices, retail, and service environments. Available in Black, Blue Lake, Iron Grey, Rich Red, True Navy, True Royal, and White.
L6021. Ladies Short Sleeve Woven ($22.00)
The ATC L6021 is the ladies companion to the D6021, with tailored fit and feminine cut at the same $22.00 price point. Same 7 colour options ensure matching team uniforms for mixed-gender workforces.
D6013 & L6013. Long Sleeve Woven Shirts ($25.00 / $34.70)
The D6013 men's ($25.00) and L6013 ladies ($34.70) long sleeve woven shirts provide year-round professional appearance. The additional arm coverage suits formal office environments, client meetings, and professional service roles.
Woven Shirt Applications
Real estate offices in Toronto, dental clinics in Vancouver, insurance agencies in Calgary, accounting firms in Ottawa, and hospitality companies in Montreal choose woven custom work shirts for their balance of professional appearance and everyday durability. Embroidered logos add brand identity without compromising the professional look.
The Camden Easy-Care Twill shirts combine professional appearance with practical low-maintenance fabric, poly-cotton twill that resists wrinkles, releases stains, and maintains a crisp look throughout the workday without ironing. These are the smart choice for companies that need their team looking sharp without dry cleaning bills.
S04600. Camden Men's Long Sleeve Twill ($22.95)
The ATC S04600 Camden features poly-cotton twill fabric with easy-care properties at $22.95 CAD. Button-front closure with professional collar. Available in 6 colours: Black, Blue, Grey, Navy, Sand, and White. The long sleeve design provides a polished corporate look.
S04601. Camden Ladies Long Sleeve Twill ($22.95)
The ATC S04601 Camden Ladies matches the men's version with a tailored feminine cut at the same $22.95 price. Same 6 colour options ensure uniform consistency across your team. The ladies cut provides proper fit without appearing oversized or boxy.
Why Easy-Care Matters
Easy-care work shirts save companies real money, no dry cleaning costs, less replacement frequency, and employees who look professional without extra effort. The poly-cotton blend resists shrinking, fading, and pilling through repeated machine washing. Companies in Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary with strict appearance standards choose easy-care twill for hassle-free uniform programs.
Ideal Applications
Property management companies, real estate offices, banks, insurance agencies, car dealerships, hotel front desks, and corporate offices across Canada choose easy-care twill custom work shirts for their wrinkle resistance and professional appearance. The fabric performs consistently through daily wear and weekly laundering.
Sleeve length in custom work shirts is not just a style preference, it affects safety, comfort, and professional appearance depending on the work environment. Understanding when each is appropriate helps build effective uniform programs.
When to Choose Short Sleeve
Short sleeve work shirts suit warm environments, indoor facilities, customer-facing retail, food service, and office settings where arm coverage is unnecessary. The D6021 ($22.00) and SP24 ($25.00) provide comfort during hot Canadian summers and in heated indoor workspaces.
When to Choose Long Sleeve
Long sleeve work shirts provide arm protection for welding, grinding, outdoor work, and formal environments. The SP14 ($22.85), D6013 ($25.00), and S04600 Camden ($22.95) serve trades, professional offices, and year-round outdoor work across Canada.
Seasonal Mixing
Many companies order both sleeve lengths with matching branding, short sleeves for summer and long sleeves for cooler months. T-Shirt Elephant applies consistent embroidery across all custom work shirts Canada companies order, maintaining brand identity regardless of sleeve length or style.
Safety Considerations
Some workplaces require long sleeves for arm protection, welding shops, chemical handling, outdoor sun exposure, and environments with hot surfaces. Check your provincial workplace safety requirements when selecting sleeve length for industrial work shirt programs.
Embroidery is the gold standard for decorating custom work shirts, thread-based logos withstand industrial laundering, maintain colour fidelity through hundreds of wash cycles, and project a premium professional appearance that printed graphics cannot match.
Why Embroidery for Work Shirts
Work shirts endure aggressive laundering, hot water, commercial detergents, and frequent cycles. Embroidered logos maintain their appearance through this abuse because the design is physically stitched into the fabric. Screen-printed logos eventually crack and fade, but embroidery stays crisp and vibrant. This durability makes embroidery the preferred choice for custom work shirts Canada businesses invest in.
Common Embroidery Placements
Standard embroidery locations on work shirts include: left chest (company logo, 3.5-4 inches), right chest (employee name, department), upper back yoke (company name), and sleeve (secondary branding). Left chest is the most popular single-location placement for work shirt programs.
Embroidery on Different Fabrics
Industrial twill (SP14, SP24) accepts embroidery excellently, the dense weave provides stable backing for clean stitch definition. Woven shirts (D6021, D6013) require lighter stabilization for clean results. Easy-care twill (S04600, S04601) embroiders beautifully with crisp detail. Our team selects appropriate backing and tension for each fabric type.
Free Digitizing
Every first-time custom work shirt order includes free logo digitizing, we convert your artwork into an embroidery file optimized for clean stitching on work shirt fabrics. The digitized file is kept on record for fast reorders.
Screen printing on custom work shirts delivers bold, large-format graphics that embroidery cannot achieve. Company names across the back, large chest logos, and multi-colour designs reproduce with vivid colour and sharp detail through the screen printing process.
When Screen Printing Works Best
Screen printing is ideal for: large back-panel company names (8+ inches), multi-colour logos with gradients, high-detail designs that exceed embroidery capability, and budget-conscious programs where per-unit decoration cost matters. Many companies combine screen printing on the back with embroidery on the chest for maximum impact on their work shirts.
Screen Print Durability on Work Shirts
Modern plastisol and water-based inks bond permanently with work shirt fabrics. Properly cured prints withstand commercial laundering for the life of the garment. Industrial twill and woven fabrics provide excellent surfaces for consistent ink adhesion and colour vibrancy.
Combining Embroidery and Screen Printing
The most professional custom work shirt programs combine both methods: embroidered company logo on the left chest with a screen-printed company name across the back. This dual-decoration approach maximizes brand visibility from all angles while maintaining a premium front appearance.
Volume Pricing Advantage
Screen printing becomes increasingly cost-effective at higher quantities. Orders of 24+ work shirts with screen printing achieve significantly lower per-unit decoration costs compared to embroidery on the same area size. Contact [email protected] for volume quotes.
Custom work shirts are the foundation of professional identity for construction and trades companies across Canada. Branded shirts distinguish your crew on shared job sites, build client confidence during residential work, and create cohesive team identity that reflects your company standards.
General Contractors

Electrical and Plumbing

Long sleeve SP14 shirts provide arm protection during physical work while embroidered logos ensure company identification on shared job sites.
Landscaping and Property Services

Corporate custom work shirts create unified team identity while maintaining professional office standards. Embroidered company shirts eliminate the daily "what to wear" decision while ensuring every employee represents your brand consistently to clients and visitors.
Corporate Uniform Programs
The Camden Easy-Care Twill ($22.95) is the top choice for corporate uniform programs. The wrinkle-resistant fabric maintains a polished appearance from morning meetings to evening events. Available in professional colours including White, Navy, Black, Blue, Grey, and Sand.
Real Estate and Insurance
Real estate brokerages, insurance agencies, and financial services firms in Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary outfit teams with branded D6013 woven shirts ($25.00) for a polished yet approachable look. The embroidered logo conveys established professionalism during client interactions.
Technology and Startups
Tech companies and startups prefer the relaxed professionalism of D6021 short sleeve woven shirts ($22.00) for team events, conferences, and office wear. The casual button-front style bridges the gap between corporate dress codes and startup culture.
Property Management
Property management companies outfit building superintendents, maintenance staff, and office personnel with branded work shirts, different styles for different roles but matching company branding. Embroidered shirts identify staff to tenants and create professional accountability.
Automotive and mechanical businesses have a long tradition of branded custom work shirts, the professional button-front shirt is the iconic uniform of the service bay. Embroidered with your shop name, technician names, and certifications, work shirts project competence and trustworthiness to every customer who walks in.
Auto Repair Shops
Independent repair shops and multi-location chains across Canada outfit technicians with embroidered SP24 industrial shirts ($25.00). The short sleeve design provides comfort in warm shop environments while heavyweight fabric resists grease, oil, and tool abrasion. Name patches on the right chest personalize each shirt.
Car Dealerships
Dealership service departments in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, and Montreal use branded work shirts to create consistent presentation across service advisors and technicians. Service advisors wear Camden easy-care twill ($22.95) while bay technicians wear industrial SP24 shirts, matching brand, different styles.
Fleet and Heavy Equipment
Fleet maintenance operations, heavy equipment dealers, and agricultural machinery shops outfit mechanics with long sleeve SP14 industrial shirts ($22.85) for arm protection during welding, grinding, and hydraulic work. Dark colours (Navy, Charcoal, Black) hide grease stains between laundering cycles.
Tire and Quick-Service Shops
Tire shops, oil change centres, and quick-service automotive businesses in Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Hamilton order custom work shirts Canada automotive professionals depend on for customer-facing professionalism. Branded shirts create immediate trust when customers hand over their keys.
Hospitality businesses demand custom work shirts that look polished under customer scrutiny while surviving the physical demands of service work, bending, reaching, carrying, and constant movement. Button-front work shirts deliver both the professional appearance and practical durability hospitality requires.
Restaurant Front-of-House
Restaurants in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, and Calgary outfit hosts, servers, and managers with branded D6021 woven shirts ($22.00) or S04600 Camden twill ($22.95). The professional appearance elevates dining atmosphere while embroidered logos reinforce brand identity.
Catering Companies
Catering teams wear branded work shirts at weddings, corporate events, and private functions where your staff represents your brand to hundreds of guests. The Camden ladies cut ($22.95) and men's version create a unified, professional catering team appearance.
Hotels and Resorts
Hotel front desk staff, concierge teams, and management personnel wear embroidered custom work shirts that project hospitality professionalism. The easy-care twill fabric maintains crispness through long shifts. Hotels across Canada order matching styles for entire departments with consistent embroidered branding.
Breweries, Wineries, and Tasting Rooms
Craft brewery taprooms, winery tasting rooms, and distillery tours outfit staff with branded work shirts that combine casual approachability with professional identification. The button-front style works for both behind-the-bar service and customer-facing tours.
Canadian weather demands seasonal variety in work shirt programs. Smart companies plan ahead with short sleeve shirts for summer and long sleeve for winter, all with matching company branding for year-round professional consistency.
Summer (May - September)
Short sleeve work shirts keep crews comfortable during hot Canadian summers. The D6021 ($22.00) and SP24 ($25.00) provide breathable comfort for construction, landscaping, and outdoor service work in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, and Montreal.
Fall and Spring (March - May, September - November)
Long sleeve custom work shirts bridge the shoulder seasons. The SP14 ($22.85) and S04600 Camden ($22.95) provide arm coverage for cool mornings while remaining comfortable as temperatures rise. Layering with a vest or jacket adds warmth as needed.
Winter Layering (November - March)
Long sleeve work shirts serve as a professional base layer under jackets and outerwear during Canadian winters. Button-front design allows easy temperature adjustment throughout the day. Companies in Edmonton, Winnipeg, Ottawa, and Calgary layer work shirts under insulated outerwear for cold-weather operations.
Year-Round Ordering Strategy
Order short and long sleeve versions simultaneously with matching embroidery. T-Shirt Elephant keeps your logo digitized on file for easy seasonal reorders. Consistent branding across all custom work shirts Canada companies order builds recognizable team identity regardless of season.

General Size Chart. Men's Work Shirts
| Size | Chest (inches) | Neck (inches) |
|---|---|---|
| S | 34-36 | 14-14.5 |
| M | 38-40 | 15-15.5 |
| L | 42-44 | 16-16.5 |
| XL | 46-48 | 17-17.5 |
| 2XL | 50-52 | 18-18.5 |
| 3XL | 54-56 | 19-19.5 |
Industrial vs Woven Fit
Industrial work shirts (SP14, SP24) run with a roomier, workwear-oriented fit designed for physical movement and layering. Woven shirts (D6021, D6013) offer a more tailored, office-appropriate fit. Easy-care twill (S04600) fits between industrial and slim, professional but comfortable. For workers who straddle both environments, size up on woven styles.
Sizing Tips for Team Orders
For crew orders of custom work shirts, a safe size distribution is: 5% Small, 15% Medium, 30% Large, 25% XL, 15% 2XL, 10% 3XL. Trades and industrial crews tend to skew larger than office teams. We offer free size exchanges on unworn blanks within 30 days.
Ladies Sizing
Ladies work shirts (L6021, L6013, S04601) use standard women's sizing with tailored cuts. Do not substitute men's sizes for women, the cut, shoulder width, and body shape differ significantly. Matching men's and ladies styles ensures consistent branding across your entire team.
Getting the best results on custom work shirts starts with proper artwork and thoughtful placement. Our design team handles the technical details, but understanding the basics helps you provide the right files and make informed decisions about your branded work shirts.
Artwork File Formats
For the sharpest embroidery on work shirts, provide vector artwork in AI, EPS, SVG, or PDF format. Vector files scale to any size without quality loss. If you only have a raster image (PNG or JPG), ensure it is at least 300 DPI at the intended size. Low-resolution logos are the number one cause of disappointing embroidery results.
Optimal Placement Locations
Standard embroidery placements on custom work shirts: left chest (company logo, most popular), right chest (employee name or secondary logo), upper back yoke (company name), and sleeve (certification logos or secondary branding). Button-front shirts provide clean, flat embroidery surfaces on the chest panels.
Colour Selection on Work Shirts
Logo thread colours must contrast with the shirt fabric colour. White and light thread colours pop on dark shirts (Navy, Black, Charcoal). Dark thread colours work on light shirts (White, Sand, Light Grey). Our team recommends optimal thread colour combinations for maximum visibility on your chosen work shirt colour.
Design Complexity
Embroidery handles text, logos, and simple graphics excellently, but ultra-fine details and photographic images do not translate well. Simplify complex logos for embroidery by reducing small details and increasing line weights. Our free digitizing service optimizes your design for clean stitch execution.
Free Design Assistance
T-Shirt Elephant offers free artwork review, logo optimization, and digitizing with every custom work shirt order. Send your logo to [email protected] and our design team will create a digital proof showing exact placement and size before production begins.
