A Tee Shop

Custom t-shirts have a way of turning everyday fabric into something personal, whether it’s for a local band, a family reunion, or just a quirky inside joke. A Tee Shop brings that idea to Long Island City, where the fourth-floor suite at 51-02 21st St—Suite 123, to be exact—serves as a small-business hub for anyone needing prints that stand out. The space sits above the street-level buzz, offering a quiet corner for designs that don’t fit the mass-produced mold. Black-owned and independently run, it’s part of a neighborhood where creativity often spills over from nearby studios and galleries, making it a natural fit for those who see clothing as more than just fabric.

Getting started is as simple as calling (516) 386-4177 to discuss ideas, though the process itself remains flexible enough to handle last-minute requests or bulk orders. The shop’s location in Long Island City means it’s accessible without the Manhattan markup, a detail that local artists and small groups tend to appreciate.
