Print-On-Demand Clothing: What You Need to Know Before You Order

Shopping for men’s clothing online is easier than ever — but finding the right balance of quality, fit, and sustainability? That’s where we come in.

At Omega Saints, we’re building something better. We make every piece to order — no overstock, no waste — using high-quality materials and modern printing tech. Whether you’re browsing for graphic t-shirts, custom made shirts, or a new beach shirt to throw on for summer, we want to make sure you know exactly what you’re getting.

Here are some of the most common questions we get about print-on-demand fashion, mens clothing shops, and how we’re doing things differently.

Do print-on-demand t-shirts last as long as retail tees?

Yes — when they’re made properly. At Omega Saints, we use premium blanks like Gildan Heavy Cotton and Bella+Canvas 3001. These aren’t cheap throwaway shirts — they’re built to last.

Our DTF printers produce vibrant, durable designs that resist cracking and fading over time. Whether it’s one of our basic t-shirts, oversized shirts, or a limited-run vintage tee, you’re getting something that’ll hold up wear after wear — as long as you treat it right. (Tip: wash cold and hang dry to make it last even longer.)

How long does delivery take for made-to-order clothing in the UK?

We don’t keep stock — everything is made just for you. That means delivery takes a little longer, typically 5–7 working days for UK orders. But the upside? You get something that’s printed fresh, with no waste, and free UK delivery is included on every order.

Whether you’re ordering cool t-shirts for men, custom made t-shirts, or one of our vintage graphic tees, you’ll get a personal product crafted with care.

Why are more mens clothing shops switching to print-on-demand?

Fashion is changing — and for the better. More and more mens clothing shops are moving away from bulk production to reduce waste and environmental harm.

At Omega Saints, we embraced print-on-demand from day one. It lets us offer an ever-growing collection of graphic t-shirts, beach shirts, and custom made shirts without overproducing or guessing what might sell. You get what you want, and the planet gets a break.

What’s the best t-shirt for fit, comfort, and durability?

We offer two main options to suit different preferences:

• Gildan Heavy Cotton: Great for a classic, structured fit. It’s durable, reliable, and ideal for prints that need to hold up over time — perfect for everyday basics or custom t-shirt printing with bold designs.

• Bella+Canvas 3001: Our premium option for those who want softness and style. Lightweight with a flattering fit, it's incredibly comfortable and ideal for high-detail graphic t-shirts, vintage tees, or anything that deserves a more elevated feel.

No matter which you choose, you're getting a shirt made to last — not one made to sit on a shelf.

Is custom t-shirt printing actually eco-friendly?

It depends on how it’s done — and we do it right. Traditional printing often leads to leftover stock and wasted fabric. Our custom t-shirt printing process only kicks in once you place your order, meaning zero overproduction.

Using modern DTF printers and water-based inks, we produce rich, detailed designs without the environmental cost. That makes your custom made shirts more than stylish — they’re sustainable, too.

Are vintage graphic tees actually vintage?

We get this one a lot. Our vintage graphic tees are newly made, but inspired by retro styles and subcultures from past decades. We design them with that lived-in aesthetic, but every shirt is printed fresh using the same eco-focused, made-to-order process as the rest of our collection.

It’s vintage without the smell of mothballs.

Final Thoughts

From mens clothing sales and custom made t-shirts to oversized shirts and beach-ready staples, Omega Saints is here to slow things down and do things right.

We don’t mass-produce. We don’t follow trends for the sake of it. Every item is made when you order it — with purpose, personality, and a commitment to sustainability.
