A cheap, nice alternative to Neighborhoodies?

Neighborhoodies wants $51 in shipping for pre-Christmas delivery (on top of $75 for a sweatshirt)... anyone know of a similar site that makes quality product for not so much money?

Response by poster: Right, but you can't personalize those.

I made some myself with homemade stencils and screenprinting ink.

Where are you located? You might not be near one of the Neighborhoodies stores, but there might be a store in your town that offers custom lettering on shirts. You'd have to call around and see if they offer single shirts, sweatshirts, and the stitched lettering that Neighborhoodies offers... they might not. But I'd recommend checking locally first; it'd definitely save you on shipping.

CustomInk might be an option for you. I'm not sure about pricing.

If you're in NYC and the issue is just the cost of shipping it to someone somewhere else in the country, you could go to the Neighborhoodies store to order the item, pick it up and ship it yourself.
