American Friendship Nations Flag Low Profile Dad Hat for Men and Women

The Ann Arbor T-shirt Company takes great pride in designing, printing, and embroidering the majority of our products entirely in our Ann Arbor, Michigan factory, located about 40 miles west of Detroit. Our story began as a dorm room project between two friends at the University of Michigan, and we've grown into a thriving business composed of dozens of talented artists, screen printers, art technicians, logistics professionals, embroiderers, and support staff.

At the heart of our operation are the people who make it all happen. We believe in treating our employees with respect and providing them with fair wages, healthcare, 401(k) matching, company-sponsored sports teams, catered lunches, and quarterly celebrations. After all, happy people make better shirts – from the artwork and design to the printing and embroidery, our team's passion and expertise shine through in every product.

When you purchase one of our items, your money is supporting a network of businesses across the country. While the exact percentages can vary, the general breakdown looks like this: 35% spent on design, printing, and production in Ann Arbor; 22% on advertising and platform fees in Seattle; 6% on apparel distribution in Cincinnati; 4% on logistics in Atlanta; 4% on printing presses and equipment in Roselle, Illinois; 4% on cotton farming in Texas and the Southwest; 3% on fabric sewing in Toluca, Mexico; and 1% on screen printing inks in Pineville, North Carolina.

Quality is of the utmost importance to us, which is why we invest in the best equipment and materials. Our screen printing presses and support machinery are manufactured by the industry leader, M&R, in Roselle, Illinois. We also use top-shelf QCM inks, which are better for the environment and produce more vibrant, long-lasting results than cheaper alternatives. Our in-house team of skilled professionals, trained through our apprenticeship and educational programs, ensures that every step of the printing and embroidery process is executed with precision.

If you ever find yourself in Ann Arbor, we'd love for you to stop by our factory for a free tour. You'll get to see firsthand how our talented illustrators and designers create the artwork, how our art technicians convert it into files for the embroidery machines, and how our expert embroiderers bring the designs to life with durable, vibrant stitching. We're proud of the products we create and can't wait to share our passion with you.
