I've been working with Special Tees in Gaithersburg for several years now through Loiederman Middle School for the Creative and Performing Arts. We do 2 productions a year; we order our cast and crew shirts as well as our general Loiederman Drama shirts. Everyone at Special Tees is great to work with, but working with the director Hannah has been a true creative collaboration. The time and effort put into the shirt designs and the quality of the prints are truly superior. Being a specialized program-our school strives to stand a cut above in our arts programming; Special Tees simply delivers a superior product and superior services-and directly supports our goals as a theater program. At this point, I can't imagine a production being done WITHOUT Special Tees.... Lastly-the shirts and designs hold up well-I have production shirts going back 5-6 years that still look great. Couldn't recommend them more! In fact-we did a glow in the dark shirt a few years back-I recently put it on at bedtime and I thought I had left the a light on.....nope-it was my shirt! That production was 3 years ago! Again-just an example of the quality level. Whatever your needs are-they'll do the job right. read more

We have had the pleasure of working with Special Tees for over Six (6) years and every order we have received is a high quality shirt! Our staff looks forward to the new design as the new school year begins - - we even have people who come to visit ask about the shirts - wanting to know if they can buy them....i explain our Principal designs them with the help of Special Tees!! Special Tees also does the shirts for our students for our Character Counts Program and STEM Program. I highly RECOMMEND Special Tees to anyone looking for getting shirts (they do other stuff too) done with a Wonderful Professional Accommodating Staff in a timely fashion! I LOVE SPECIAL TEES!!!!!!!! Most Sincerely, Jenny Hirst read more

In May 2023 I purchased an event shirt from Special Tees for the American Rocketry Challenge for my Son who was a participant. However, in all the excitement of the event, watching the rockets launch, I inadvertently left the shirt on their table. I didn't discover I had left the shirt until later that night in the hotel when we were packing for our early morning flight. Once I got home I contacted Special Tees by email and asked if I could get another shirt. They responded immediately and shipped me another one right away. My son was so excited to be able to get this shirt in the mail. Thanks for the great customer service!!! read more

I used these guys for my company shirts for a promotional day. They not only took on the order on rush status, they took modifications until the day before they were needed. I wouldn't ask this of them typically, but it was amazing they were able to do it for me. The day went well, and my company got lots of attention specifically from the tee shirts and made it so people approached us instead of the other way around. Which is exactly what we wanted them to do in the first place. Thanks guys, and Hannah especially! read more

If you're looking for the best customer service, creative designs and fast service then look no more because you found it at Special Tees. This is the second time that we ordered our 5th grade promotion t-shirts from Special Tees and they came out better than we expected and under budget! Hannah is the BEST and will help you with original designs. She does great work and is really friendly and nice. My students are so happy with their 5th grade t-shirts and we will definitely be using Special Tees again and again! read more

I cannot recommend Special Tees enough! The entire process - design, submission, image rework, quote, and payment - was smooth and simple. I created my own shirt design and submitted it via email. Super fast and easy. The quality of the printed image is like something found on the high-end, named-brand products. The outcome was exactly as I had envisioned. The customer service was great, too. Ian, the manager, was knowledgeable, amazingly helpful, and responsive. I highly recommend this Special Tees! read more

This place is awesome! I use them to make all the jerseys/shirts/swag for my football league and they come through every time! If you need something simple or have a complex order, they really take the time to work with you and get you what you need... and they do it fast! The key is that it's a local business, they can do everything that the big online company can do, but being able to meet in person and see products in their offices makes all the difference in getting exactly what you want! read more

Hannah and her team go above and beyond the call of duty and design to provide top-notch work and unsurpassed customer service. The first time I used them, they manipulated my design and improved it-- the response was overwhelmingly positive. This time, I decided to trust their design skills over my own once again and was thrilled by the results. Even though they moved from Gaithersburg, I would still venture out a bit further for such reliable and expert service. Well done, Special Tees! read more

Our school ordered our end of the year shirts for our 5th graders through special tees during the pandemic. Due to the circumstances our timeline continuously changed and shortened. Special tees was incredibly accommodating. They were very quick to communicate when I had a question or request. They expedited our order when our timeline unexpectedly changed. The product was outstanding, and the students were very excited. We will absolutely continue to work with them in the future. read more

I needed an expert to help me understand the complexities of printing a 6-color logo at shoulder size while maintaining the level of detail in the artwork (a JPG file). Special Tees exceeded my expectations with their expertise. They were professional, friendly, and delivered ahead of a tight schedule. The price was more than fair, considering it was for only 50 T-shirts. I won't use anyone else! Thank you, Addrienne and Special Tees for making it a big success. Everyone LOVED them! read more

Great company that helped me out in a pinch. I needed 100 custom wedding t shirts made by the end of the week (it was Tuesday) and they helped me design and print all of them within our time constraints. They even made a new batch after the first one had an error in it (even though the error was 100% my fault). I would highly recommend using Special Tees for any bulk t shirt orders - and it also doesn't hurt that they're super friendly and easy to work with! read more

Wow! Is the word that comes to mind when reviewing Special Tees. Even during a global pandemic they were able to assist our school with getting awesome t-shirts for our kiddos. They were prompt with any email I sent or any question I had via the phone. They accommodated us without hesitation when our shipping location changed. We will be using Special Tees in all of our future orders! Just so people know, this was not a small order, we had over 100 t-shirts! read more

Hannah and her team are creative, meticulous, patient and punctual. They came highly recommended and they exceeded our expectations. It's rare that you work with a business that you feel is trying to save you money -- and they are so very kind as well. We ordered a variety of items (T-shirts, back packs, stress balls, caps, flexible Frisbees, and magnets) and they all look spectacular! We plan to use them whenever we have promotional needs. read more

Special Tees MD is the best! We (Midnight Run Brewing) were working with a big box printer before we started using Specials Tees and will never go back. They have great ideas during the design process and always seem to know what we want before we do. As busy as they are they always find a way to expedite our orders for tight timelines. We have 100% confidence that anything we sell from Special Tees is of the highest quality! read more

We have ordered all of our company shirts through Special Tees for the last couple of years and it has been a breeze! Hannah not only stayed well within our budget, but she exceeded our design expectations. To top it all off, our order arrived incredibly quick compared to our previous company. Will continue using them for all of our company's marketing needs, and I highly recommend Special Tees to anyone! read more

The staff, the artists, the work is all top notch! The best part is the customer service- quality other businesses should use as a model! Our projects tend to be "last minute", and Ian and Hannah do what is possible to help make our deadlines! "Above and beyond" service! The quality of all our shirts and trinkets is beautiful- just what we wanted...and more!!! We are solid customers! read more

I don't think I would have been able to accomplish this project without Special Tees. I didn't know exactly what I wanted-Ian took an idea and ran with it. He had the proof back almost immediately. My organization had change after change after change and Ian was so accommodating. Both projects were delivered ahead of schedule and look fabulous! Thanks again to Ian and Hannah! read more

Special Tees is FANTASTIC! They are always so easy to work with. The designs they come up with always look amazing and they always try to ensure that they are keeping the designs within my budget. They even always get my products to me early, which I love! I will never use another company for my Drama Department t-shirt needs again. Special Tees is the way to go! read more

Our large swim team has used Special Tees for our annual t-shirt order for several years, and we always have the best experience!! The Special Tees team is so kind and patient, and really easy to work with; they make sure we have a great looking shirt at an excellent price, and on schedule, every time - I really can't imagine working with anyone else!! read more
