The Ann Arbor T-shirt Company: Where Passion and Craftsmanship Meet
Fabric Composition: This garment is crafted from a blend of 50% polyester, 25% combed cotton, and 25% rayon, offering a soft, lightweight, and vintage-inspired feel.
Care Instructions: For easy maintenance, this item is machine washable.
Origin: Proudly made in the USA, with some components sourced internationally.
Closure: This top features a pull-on design for a comfortable, easy-to-wear fit.
About the Brand: The Ann Arbor T-shirt Company was born from a university dorm room project between two friends at the University of Michigan. Today, the company is composed of approximately 48 talented artists, screen printers, art technicians, logistics professionals, embroiderers, and support staff, all operating out of Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Employee Benefits: The Ann Arbor T-shirt Company believes in treating its employees with respect and providing them with competitive benefits. This includes subsidized healthcare, a 401(k) match, company sports teams, catered employee lunches, and quarterly company parties around the city. The company understands that happy, engaged employees are key to producing high-quality products.
Design and Production: The designs for this apparel are drawn and screen-printed (silk-screened) with pride by the skilled illustrators and printers at the Ann Arbor facility. Customers are welcome to visit for a free tour to see the production process firsthand.
Fit and Sizing: This v-neck shirt is contoured for adult women, not a junior's cut. It is pre-shrunk and, due to the low cotton content (25%), will not shrink significantly in the wash.
Fabric Quality: The top is made from a silky-smooth, lightweight tri-blend of cotton, polyester, and rayon, giving it a vintage, retro heathered look and an elegant, soft touch. The tag is tearaway for a clean finish.
Ink Quality: The company uses high-quality QCM screen printing inks, manufactured in Pineville, North Carolina. These inks are vibrant, durable, and highly crack-resistant. Some designs may intentionally feature a faded or cracked appearance, but the inks always deliver consistent results.
Printing Equipment: The Ann Arbor T-shirt Company utilizes top-of-the-line printing presses and ovens (for curing the inks) made by M&R in Illinois, ensuring the highest quality standards.
Environmental Consciousness: QCM, the ink manufacturer, has been an industry leader in adopting safer, phthalate-free formulations, well ahead of the curve. Their inks are also CFC-free and rated as carcinogen-free by the state of California.
In summary, the Ann Arbor T-shirt Company takes great pride in designing, printing, and embroidering the majority of its products in-house, while providing its employees with excellent benefits and a collaborative work environment. The result is high-quality, environmentally-conscious apparel that celebrates the artistry and craftsmanship of the Midwest.
