Choosing the Correct Garment Sizes

It’s a Challenge

Questions about ordering t-shirt sizes “What shirt size do you want to order?” The best advice we have is ask them! Guessing sizes is a minefield. Every Scout Troop group is different. From our experience, it’s best to avoid Youth small size. Kids grow too quick. We have a tool to help—try our Size Distribution Calculator.

Size Sample Kit

T-Shirt size sample kits make ordering t-shirts easy For the B110 100% Cotton Short Sleeve T-Shirt we have a size sample kit you can order. It comes with a coupon you can apply to your Troop’s custom t-shirt order.

Size Variation

Reviewing garment details and sizing before finalizing your order Not all medium-sized shirts are the same. Garment types (even from the same vendor!) are often cut differently. In general, all garments are cut differently. Please review the garment detail pages for sizing information. Smaller shirts and features like zippers, v-necks and scoop necks can affect the overall imprint size for all your shirts.

Order Extras

Need to add more shirts, no problem. We always recommend ordering extras Ordering extra shirts is the best thing you can do to solve size issues. After the shirts arrive, some people change the size they need. Having a few backup shirts enables you to keep those people happy. As new scouts and parents join the Troop, it’s a great idea to welcome them with a t-shirt.

Mixing Garments Types

Everyone wants something different? We can help with that! As long as they can all be printed with the same design & ink color(s), you can mix garment types like sweatshirts, ladies shirts, and hoodies with your T-Shirts. Price will vary per garment type, but the total quantity determines the price break!

Reorders

Reorders are priced based on quantity. It’s a good idea to get some extras at the higher price break. If you need a smaller number of shirts after your first order, they will cost significantly more.

Decoration Methods

Different decoration methods

We carefully select the most suitable and cost-effective decoration method for your order, ensuring the best results for your apparel. Please note that if you place a reorder, the decoration method may change depending on the garment type and order quantity. If you have a preference for a specific decoration method, let us know—this may affect the pricing.

Decoration colors – Inks and threads

Some inks require specific processes. Inks like Glow in the Dark, Metallic Gold and Silver, Fluorescent Pink, Neons, and Glitters all require Screen printing. These inks require a minimum order of around 20-40 garments. Additional charges of .50-1.00 per shirt may apply. We will reach out to you to discuss this since our online ordering system does not deal with this.

Screen printing is the Best Choice for larger custom t-shirt orders since larger orders usually cost significantly less when screen printed. A screen printed design will last as long as the garment—even when worn by an active person. Visit our article on the screen vs digital printing. See the extensive charts and description of the decoration process.
Digital Printing is good for shirt orders under 10 pcs. It is a computer controlled printing process that applies a special ink to the fabric. While not as durable as screen printing, the digital print has an advantage: it costs the same regardless of the number of ink colors used in a design. This process is perfect for small quantity orders and single shirt orders. Digital printing cannot reproduce some specialty inks like Glow or Glitter.

Benefits of Scouts BSA T-Shirts for Your Troop

Everyone Can Wear a Scouts BSA Troop T-Shirt

Scouts BSA Troop T-Shirts are a great way to build pride in your scouts and their parents. Parents don’t often buy a Official BSA uniform unless they are part of the Scout Troop leadership. Scouts BSA Troop T-Shirts are a way for everyone to feel a part of the Troop at events. Troop t-shirts can make a new scout feel immediately welcome and a part of the troop.

Gearing up for Fun

Some activities are not suited to full Official Uniform wear. When the fun is really intense, t-shirts are easy to wash and much less costly to replace. Your scout’s parents will thank you. Mud splatter illustrating that cub scout t-shirts get dirty

Recruiting

Start the conversation about your Troop! Your scouts will wear their Troop t-shirts to school, church and sports activities. In today’s plugged in society, it’s easy for scouting to go unnoticed in your community. The best tool for recruiting is your scouts talking about the great things they do in scouting.
