About this tee
Description
Your child's drawing, machine-embroidered onto a premium men's tee. Upload any drawing they made, a wonky shark, a rainbow, "I love Dad" in giant uneven letters, and we'll trace every line and machine-embroider it onto a soft cotton men's tee. The art stays unchanged. We just put it on the chest of someone who'd wear it twice a week if you let him.
Built on a mid-weight 100% cotton tee with a classic men's fit. The kind of tee you wash, fold, and reach for first.

Designed and embroidered in Melbourne by RK Threads.
The embroidery
Machine embroidered in our Melbourne studio. We set the drawing up for the machines, which means turning it into a stitch file the machine can follow.
Bold lines and strong colours stitch best. Very fine details can get simplified so they stitch cleanly. The design tool shows the biggest size each spot can take.
Sizing
The size guide next to the sizes has the measurements. They're taken flat on the garment in centimetres, so lay a piece you like flat and compare.
Care
Wash cold and inside out. Skip the dryer if you can, and don't iron straight over the stitching.
Shipping and turnaround
Custom pieces are ready to post two weeks after you order (10 business days). Rush is five business days for $25 more, and you add it in the design tool.
Shipping is free in Australia over $90 and free internationally over $150.
Returns
Our refund policy has the details. If something's not right, message us.

Questions people ask
What's included in the price?
The garment, the first embroidery spot and setting up your first design for the machines. Extra designs and extra spots are add-ons, and the design tool shows the total before you add it to your cart.
How long does it take?
Two weeks (10 business days) from your order to when we post it. The date near the top of this page is when we would post an order placed today.
Can I get it sooner?
Yes. Rush costs $25 and we make it in five business days. You add it in the design tool. Postage takes the same time either way.
How much is shipping?
Free in Australia over $90, and free internationally over $150.
Is there a minimum order?
No. One piece is fine. If you need 10 or more, our wholesale site gives you an instant quote, no account needed.
Can I send a photo of the drawing?
Yes. A phone photo works. Lay the drawing flat in good light, get all of it in the shot and upload it in the design tool.
What size should I get?
Tap "Don't know what size to get?" under the sizes. Pick women or men, add your height and weight, and it suggests a size. The size guide next to it has the measurements in centimetres.
Can I see it before I buy?
The design tool shows a preview of your design on the garment before you add it to your cart. It's a guide, so the stitched piece can look a little different.
Can I ask you something first?
Yes. Message us any time.
