New York City heat-transfer/heat-press vinyl T-shirts ASAP
July 22, 2017 9:58 AM Subscribe
I would like to get custom heat-transfer/heat-press vinyl T-shirts made in New York City this weekend, ideally with sparkly/glitter/metal flake lettering. Can you recommend a shop?
A shop that does iron-on sparkly vinyl letters (in multiple sparkly colors, ideally) would be fine, or I'd be interested in a place that could make and press more custom die-cut vinyl lettering with a heat press. Ideally these would be black V-neck T-shirts, size XL, made this afternoon or tomorrow. I want about a half-dozen. I don't want to design something and have it screen-printed; I'd much rather go lo-fi/old-school with the vinyl.
I would like to have them for something on Monday, so time is of the essence. I can Google this and have done so, but a lot of T-shirt places have unclear wording on their sites, and it's hard to tell what services they actually offer, what the pricing is, and what turnaround time to expect. Rather than spend a ton of time combing through search results, I figured I'd ask you guys and see if you had any suggestions to get this idea executed locally ASAP. Thanks!

Best answer: Can't vouch for them personally, but I walk by this place all the time and they seem to have what you're looking for.

Response by poster: spilon, in fact that's exactly where I ended up going. They had more sparkly colors than shown on the site (sparkly white, sparkly red, and sparkly silver), great fonts, and a turnaround before I leave. Josh also cut me a deal on a slightly larger custom design to better fit the size of the shirts. So far so good!

Response by poster: They came out beautifully, by the way. I'm very happy with the results and with the pricing. I would definitely recommend Gifted to others looking for quick one-off shirts, especially sparkly ones.

Response by poster: To follow up: The T-shirts were a hit with their intended audience, and I put in an order for more before the summer was up. They came out beautifully sparkly. Note that the Yelp reviews of staffers' predilections and personality traits are not inaccurate. Josh is the best, most careful maker of T-shirts.
