My experience with Captain Jerry's Custom T-Shirts was fantastic! Another colleague used their service before and gave me one of his musician T-shirts as a gift. I loved the quality of that shirt. It held up nicely after many washes and the artwork never faded. So, when I needed T-shirts done for a positive community event, I was referred to the same provider. Doug at Captain Jerry's helped bring my vision and positive community message of "Choose Love Over Hate" to life in a wonderful T-shirt design!
The turnaround completion time of the shirts were more than reasonable and they accommodated my deadline needs. The pricing is affordable and the staff go out of their way to make sure the customer has options and gets a quality product/service. The owner and everyone who works there are super friendly. As a new customer I would absolutely recommend them to others and I plan to go back! KC-Owner-Community Light

I cannot say enough about my experience with Andy and his crew! Each project they take on for me turns out better than the last. They are honest, passionate and will take as much time as it takes to ensure they bring your vision to life. The prices truly don't match the level of service I have been provided. I have been serviced multiple times by a very talented young man named Doug. Each time I am serviced by Doug I am taken back by his level of passion. He and the rest of the staff at Captain Jerrys are second to none.

They're one of the best we've worked with! We do corporate event planning for large national companies where branding really matters. Their communication and especially quality is outstanding. They went above and beyond and will definitely use them for all our projects!
