FAQ

How much text actually fits?
The system allows up to 50 characters total. In practice, that's roughly 3 lines of 16–18 characters each, or 2 lines of about 25 characters each, depending on the font you pick. Shorter and bolder fonts (Block, Varsity) fit fewer characters per line. Tighter fonts (Connecting Script, Block Condensed) fit more. If your text is close to the limit, we'll adjust font size or wrap lines during the proof step.

Can I do multiple lines of text?
Yes. Hit Enter inside the Text field to add line breaks. Most names + titles or names + dates fit comfortably across 2 lines.

Can I pick the font?
Yes. Browse our embroidery font library and note your preference in the Instructions/Notes field. If you don't specify, we'll pick something that fits the text length and looks balanced.

Can I get more than one thread color?
This listing covers a single thread color for the whole text. For multi-color text (e.g., name in one color, year in another), use our custom order form for a quote.

How do I know which thread color to pick?
Type the name of any color you see on our in-stock thread colors page — they're all in stock. If you want a brand-specific color match, leave a note in Instructions/Notes and we'll order it in.

Crewneck or hoodie?
Same 8.0 oz heavy blend fabric and the same color range. The crewneck runs a few dollars less, layers better under a jacket, and gives you a flat chest panel with nothing in the way of the lettering. Pick the hoodie if you want the pouch pocket and hood.

Do you ship nationwide?
Yes. Ships from Indianapolis via USPS or UPS. Free personal delivery on orders of $50+ within 30 miles of Indianapolis.

Made in the USA?
Gildan 18000 fabric is imported; manufactured by Gildan. Embroidery is done in our Indianapolis workshop.
