Handmade in York, PA — Each Piece One of a Kind

Custom Apparel in Reading, PA

Handmade in York, PA — 50 miles from Reading, PA

Reading's deep manufacturing heritage — from the textile mills that earned it the "Outlet Capital of the World" nickname to the iron foundries that shaped Berks County's economy — has created a community that instinctively understands the difference between quality production and cheap mass output. When Reading-area organizations invest in custom apparel, they expect craftsmanship, not commodity goods. That expectation aligns perfectly with our approach: premium blanks, professional printing, and personal attention on every order.

The revitalization around GoggleWorks Center for the Arts has energized Reading's creative economy and small business sector. Restaurants, galleries, maker shops, and startups along Penn Street and in the DoubleTree district are building brands that need apparel to match their identity. For these emerging businesses, custom-printed Comfort Colors or Bella Canvas tees serve as both team uniforms and marketing tools — every staff member and customer wearing your branded shirt extends your reach through Reading's increasingly walkable downtown.

Reading-area schools, including the Reading School District and suburban districts across Berks County, generate year-round demand for team apparel, spirit wear, and event merchandise. The area's strong youth baseball and softball culture, anchored by programs feeding into Reading Fightin Phils fandom, creates additional demand for team gear. At about 75 minutes from our York studio, Reading organizations receive 2-3 day delivery on standard orders.

About Reading, PA

Reading’s identity has always been rooted in manufacturing and making things. From its 19th-century iron and steel foundries to the textile mills that made it the “Outlet Capital of the World,” Berks County has a deep appreciation for quality production and craftsmanship. That manufacturing heritage makes Reading’s retail community especially receptive to locally-produced wholesale apparel — they understand the difference between mass-produced imports and handmade domestic product.

The revitalization of downtown Reading, anchored by the GoggleWorks Center for the Arts in the former Willson Goggle factory, has sparked a growing creative economy and independent retail scene. Boutiques, galleries, and maker shops along Penn Street and in the DoubleTree district are building a customer base that values unique, artisan products — exactly the market our ice-dyed apparel and custom graphic tees are designed to serve.

At about 75 minutes from our York studio via Route 222 and the turnpike, Reading-area businesses receive standard 2–3 day ground shipping on wholesale orders. For larger orders, we can arrange direct delivery. Reading’s position between Lancaster, the Lehigh Valley, and Philadelphia also makes it a strategic location for retailers serving customers across eastern Pennsylvania.
