Vegvisir | Norse Pagan Symbol T-Shirt

The Ann Arbor T-shirt Company is composed of dozens of artists, screen printers, art techs, logistics professionals, embroiderers, and support staff, all operating out of Ann Arbor, Michigan, about 40 miles west of Detroit. We give our employees subsidized healthcare, a 401k match, company soccer and kickball teams, catered employee lunches, and quarterly company parties around town. While we believe in treating our employees with respect as a matter of course, it also makes good business sense. Happy people make better shirts - cooler art, higher quality prints, more exacting quality control, and so on.

From top to bottom, our people are proud of the product we produce and cannot wait to share it with you. If you ever find yourself in Ann Arbor, stop in for some coffee and a tour - we'd love to show you how we make our stuff!

The design for this Viking Vegvisir t-shirt was drawn and screen printed (silk screened) with pride by our skilled illustrators and printers in Ann Arbor. The tagless tag is printed on the fabric inside the collar, so you can't even feel it. This shirt has a unisex, modern fit - slightly tapered to be a little less boxy than the old style of mass-market t-shirts. It's pre-shrunk, but like any high-cotton product, will still shrink slightly in the wash.

Our shirts are made from a ringspun, 30/1 fine jersey knit on 100% USA-grown cotton. They are soft and smooth with a high thread-count, tight knit made from fuzzy plants grown by American farmers. These are mid-weight shirts - a bit lighter than your mass-market, thick gym class t-shirts, but substantial and not see-through.

We use QCM screen printing inks, manufactured in Pineville, North Carolina. These are high quality, vibrant and durable inks that are highly crack resistant. Some of our designs are intentionally faded or cracked, but our inks always "do what they are told" by our printers. We use top-of-the-line printing presses and ovens made by M&R in Illinois to ensure quality and efficiency.

QCM has been one of the most forward-thinking ink manufacturers, going phthalate-free over ten years ago. They're also CFC free and rated as carcinogen-free by the state of California, so you can feel good about what's touching your skin.

When you buy one of our shirts, your money is supporting businesses across the country - 35% goes to design, printing, and production in Ann Arbor, 22% to advertising and platform fees in Seattle, and smaller percentages to distributors, logistics, equipment manufacturers, and cotton farmers. We're proud to keep the majority of our operation in the US.

Screen printing is an art, and we hire, train, and retain skilled professionals to ensure the best results. We also invest in top-notch inks and equipment to deliver high-quality, long-lasting products at a reasonable cost.

At the end of the day, we love giving people fun ways to express themselves and strike up conversations with their neighbors. That's what drives us to keep creating unique, American-made apparel.
