About Us
The Homestead Tee is a custom apparel and promotional product shop based in West Michigan, run by two sisters-in-law who love great design and quality work. We create custom t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, and a wide range of promo items for schools, churches, businesses, teams, and events.
Our goal is to make the process simple and stress-free — with no setup fees, low minimums, and fast turnaround times. Whether you need one shirt or hundreds of items for your next fundraiser, staff order, or community event, we’re here to help you create something you’re proud to wear or share.
