U.S. Army Insignia T-Shirts for Men and Women

The Ann Arbor T-shirt Company, a product of a dorm room project between two friends at the University of Michigan, takes pride in designing, printing, and embroidering the majority of its products completely in-house at its factory in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This approach allows the company to maintain high-quality standards, keep prices low, and provide fair wages, healthcare, 401k matches, and meals to its employees.

Our products are unique in that they are made with a focus on ethical and sustainable production practices. The fabrics, inks, and most other inputs are sourced from within the United States, and the shirts are predominantly made of U.S.-grown cotton. This not only supports the local economy but also ensures the quality and durability of the final products.

The Ann Arbor T-shirt Company's commitment to its employees is evident in the benefits they receive, as well as the company-sponsored activities, such as soccer, kickball, and quarterly parties. The happy and engaged workforce translates into better-quality shirts, with cooler artwork, higher-quality prints, and more precise quality control.

Our screen-printed apparel, featuring the 1st Armored Division's "Old Ironsides" design, is an officially licensed U.S. Army product. The artwork is expertly applied and cured on a soft, smooth, ringspun men's crewneck t-shirt. The screen-printing process is a skilled craft, and we take great pride in our highly trained professionals who understand the intricacies of ink chemistry, curing temperatures, and fabric fibers.

We use top-quality QCM inks, which are more vibrant, durable, and environmentally friendly than cheaper alternatives. Additionally, our state-of-the-art M&R printing presses, manufactured in Illinois, allow our printers to work efficiently, reducing waste and maintaining high-quality standards.

When you purchase one of our shirts, your money is supporting a diverse array of businesses across the country. Approximately 35% of the cost goes towards the design, printing, and production in Ann Arbor, 22% towards advertising and platform fees in Seattle, 6% to the apparel distributor in Cincinnati, 4% to logistics in Atlanta, 4% to the printing press manufacturer in Roselle, Illinois, 4% to cotton farmers in Texas and the Southwest, 3% to the fabric sewing in Toluca, Mexico, and 1% to the screen printing ink manufacturer in Pineville, North Carolina.

We invite you to visit our Ann Arbor factory for a free tour, where you can see firsthand how we create your apparel with pride and gratitude. Our team of artists, screen printers, art technicians, logistics professionals, embroiderers, and support staff are eager to share their passion for producing high-quality products that celebrate American craftsmanship and support our nation's soldiers and their families.
