About us

Lakeshirts is a custom apparel decorating company that started in our owner’s parents’ basement in 1984. We have since grown to an $80 million+ company in a 275,000 square foot facility. Our production floor includes 48 automatic screenprint presses, 32 multi-head embroidery machines, six 60-foot laser appliqué bridges, three sublimation presses, and a number of dogs running around the place. Lakeshirts sales continue to grow, as does its profitability, due to the hard work and continuous improvement efforts of its 500+ employees and over 60 nation-wide reps. Lakeshirts provides decorated apparel to thousands of customers in the resort and college markets, being a preferred choice to customers based on its breadth of great designs, great garments in its inventory, and reliable and responsive delivery. With more than 40 artists on our staff, we create thousands of pieces of art each year, giving each customer a unique look. We have over 100 bodystyles in stock, and each one comes in a multitude of colors, totaling more than 1,000,000 pieces in our inventory. This is all done in a culture that reflects respect, community, and fun. Our culture is second-to-none and must be experienced to be truly understood. If you happen to be in the lakes area, we invite you to stop in and see for yourself. We always enjoy visits, and we’re proud to show off the community that we’ve called “home” for all of our lives. And if you happen to bring along a Milk Bone or two with you, we know you’ll make some very quick and deep friendships. Life’s Better in a T-shirt

    Through all of our brands, we believe in the power of collaboration to create iconic products that resonate with our customers. This recent project is a testament to how our team member, Matt Boeke and the Blue 84 & Zephyr licensed teams translated the essence of UC Davis Eggheads into vibrant apparel that celebrates quality and innovation. We are proud of the teamwork and dedication that brought this collection to life, reflecting our commitment to excellence in brand licensing and partnerships. What a fun way to celebrate the intersection of art, culture, and fashion as we look forward to continuing to innovate and inspire through collaboration. Thanks for working with us, Tiffany & crew! #lifesbetterinatshirt #wowourcustomers #valuesinaction #ourcommitment #brandcollab #partnership #licensing #collegiateapparel #licensedapparel

    I am thrilled to highlight another fantastic partner from the launch of the UC Davis Egghead Collection I worked on this Spring. Working to bring the Eggheads to life across apparel, we were fortunate to collaborate with Matt Boeke and the team at Blue 84. Their unwavering support through multiple iterations resulted in the creation of these iconic products. If you'd like to learn more about how I helped bring this line to life, shoot me a message. #Collaboration #Teamwork #QualityProducts #brandlicensing #licensingconsultant #brandpartnerships Jasmin Francis-Bush Isabella Verduzco

    #WhosWhoWednesday •• Fit to a Tee REMOTE Edition Krista was nominated by Sidd for contributing to our value of WOW Our Customer. "Krista has been totally kicking butt, and two recent projects need to be called out. First, she crushed a massive lifestyle image for a huge opportunity that we have with the NBA. Then, when we desperately needed some new Lakegirl shots, she grabbed some models, found a spot for the shoot, and absolutely crushed a ton of new photos for us. All of this is so important to us, and Krista always takes on these new challenges in such a positive, proactive way. And her results? *chef's kiss* Thank you for all you do, Krista. You are amazing and we appreciate you so much." Khaira was nominated by Matt for contributing to our values of WOW Our Customer, Continuous Improvement, Community, Team & Meritocracy, "Khaira is a truly one-of-a-kind coworker and someone who I am thankful to have as a key part of handling JM's heavy workload. She is very knowledgeable about the art side of Zephyr, and if there is ever something standing in the way of a task getting done, then she will have it solved/improved/corrected with an incredible quickness. I can safely say that Khaira has saved me a TON of sanity since I have begun working closely with her, and I truly cannot imagine handling all the work that I do without her as major part of the team!" These team members are ah-mazing, and clearly they both have great style! 😉👕 #lifesbetterinatshirt #lakeshirts #valuesinaction #peerrecognition #fittoatee
