Our Story

What started as a small family business in our home has grown into our very own custom apparel shop in Charleston, Illinois.

I began this journey over 10 years ago, shortly after welcoming our son, while trying to find myself and what I was truly passionate about. That passion turned out to be crafting — starting with custom shirts and slowly growing into something much bigger than I ever imagined.

What began at our kitchen table has blossomed into a full-time family business, run alongside my husband and son. Today, we are proud to be a family-owned and operated business in Central Illinois, creating everything from custom shirts and hats to laser-engraved items and so much more.

Every order we produce is made with care, pride, and attention to detail. When you support Local Tees, you aren’t just supporting a small business — you’re supporting our family, our story, and our community.

Thank you for being part of our journey.
