**Is there a minimum order?**

No hard minimum. Embroidery has no minimum. Screen print has no hard minimum either, but 48 pieces and up is where the screens stop dominating the price.

**What if my logo is more than 6,000 stitches?**

Every embroidery price covers up to 6,000 stitches. Above that, each additional 1,000 stitches adds $2.00 per piece at 1-11 pieces, $1.50 at 12-23, $1.00 at 24-59, $0.60 at 60-79 and $0.50 at 80 or more, rounded up to the next 1,000. So a 12,000-stitch logo adds $6.00 per piece at 24 and $3.00 at 80 or more. We digitize first and tell you the exact count with the proof before you approve anything.

**How much do crew shirts with a logo cost?**

A Port & Company PC61 with a 1-color front and 1-color back print is $15.22 each at 48 pieces plus $40 in screens. An embroidered K500 polo is $19.55 at 24 and $17.55 at 144. Full schedule on the pricing page.

**How long does an order take?**

28 days from proof approval is standard. Quotes usually go out the same business day. Rush is quoted per job.

**Do you ship nationwide?**

Yes. Battle Born Clothing ships from Yerington, NV to every US state. We will split a shipment between an office and a jobsite.

**What do I send for a quote?**

Artwork (vector preferred: AI, EPS, PDF, SVG; 300 dpi PNG is fine), quantity, style and colors, and a size breakdown. Names if you want them.

**Do I get a proof?**

Always. A digital proof with the logo placed and sized, the roster if there is one, and the ink or thread colors. Nothing is produced until you approve it.

**What if the shirts come out wrong?**

If the error is ours, we redo it free. If the proof you approved had the error, that is on the approval, so check the proof.

**Can you decorate hi-vis safety shirts?**

Yes. ANSI Class 2 and Class 3 garments are quoted per job and we place the logo clear of the reflective tape so the rating holds.

**Do you sell Carhartt?**

Yes. Battle Born Clothing is an authorized Carhartt decorator. Carhartt, Nike and OGIO are quoted per job with brand MAP respected.

**Can you add names to shirts?**

Yes. Embroidered names on polos and work shirts, printed or pressed names on tees. Quoted per job; send a roster.

**Can I supply my own shirts?**

Yes, at $2 per item handling. Industry-standard spoilage allowance is about 4%; we aim for zero and do not replace customer-supplied goods we did not source.

**What are the one-time fees?**

Screens are $20 per screen per color. Embroidery digitizing is $18.99 per design, once; we keep the file for reorders.

**Why is there a flash charge?**

On dark shirts we print a white underbase and flash-cure it so the top color is bright. $0.25 per flash per location. Light shirts usually skip it.

**Can I mix styles and colors in one order?**

Yes. Tees, long sleeves and polos with one logo is the normal trade order. Each style is priced at its own blank price; decoration is at the published rate.

**Which shirt do you recommend for a crew?**

The Port & Company PC61 for tees and the Port Authority K500 for polos. We consider the PC61 quite a bit better than Gildan at the same money.

**Do you do Gildan?**

On request. We stock Port & Company first. See the Gildan product page for how the numbers map.

**Do you run company online stores?**

No. We run batch orders from a roster instead and keep your files for reorders. See the reorders guide.

**What is the 2XL upcharge?**

Suppliers charge $1 to $7 more per piece for 2XL and up depending on style. It shows as a separate line on the quote. Decoration is the same price at every size.

**Where are you?**

Battle Born Clothing, 3 Pebble Beach Dr, Yerington, NV 89447. Trade Uniform Co. is one of our brands; the shop, machines and people are the same.

**Can an AI assistant request a quote for me?**

Yes. Battle Born Clothing publishes an agent RFQ guide at https://battlebornclothing.com/pages/ai-agent-rfq-guide. Your assistant can send the same details a person would.
