Our Story

A father, a son,
and a print shop built for everyone else's ideas.

Custom Kent started in 2025 — a dad and his son trying to figure out how to actually say yes to the small print jobs. Not just the 50-shirt minimums. The team mom who needs 12 hoodies for the playoffs. The booster club with a one-time fundraiser. The small business with a logo and no graphic designer on call.

We've leaned into every tool that helps us deliver — AI design, hand-finishing, real conversations on the phone. The point is the same either way: your idea, on a shirt, done right, without the runaround.

Brand new — and proud of it

Just getting started.

We're a brand new shop and you're catching us at the beginning. That means every order matters more, every customer becomes part of the story, and we still have the time to actually care about the details. Be one of our firsts.

How it works

From idea to
finished shirt.

The whole process — start to wearing it — usually takes about a week. Here's what each step looks like.

01

Tell us your idea

Use the Design Lab, fill out an order form, or just send us a text or email. Quick and zero pressure.

02

We send a proof

Within 24 hours you get a digital mockup. Tweak it as much as you want until it's exactly right.

03

We print it

Once you approve the proof, we get to work. We'll let you know when it ships or is ready for pickup.

04

You wear it loud

Tag us on Instagram and we'll repost. Be one of the first faces in our community gallery.
