America's Best Apparel has been locally owned & operated since 1986 here in West Des Moines, Iowa. We started as Champ's Choice in Valley West Mall when it was literally in the midst of cornfields. Champ's Choice was a retail store where we screenprinted select designs as the customer waited.
As Champ's continued to grow, we had an opportunity to sell our designs which ultimately launched our wholesale business, which at it's inception was named Heartland Printed Apparel.Over the next few years, we moved away from retail & concentrated our efforts on the preprint line, gaining attention across the nation in a variety of different markets.

Screenprinting, sometimes called silk screenprinting, uses a custom prepared stencil. The part of the design that is to be printed transferred to a screen that is made up of silk, nylon or a stainless-steel mesh. This process is similar to developing a picture. Once the screen has been "burned" with the design it allows ink to pass through the area specific to the design, but not through the other part of the stencil.
Custom embroidered apparel is an incredibly popular product for businesses, gift shops, universities and more. Embroidery is affordable, and a great way to show off your corporate logo or design with style. All logos are given to our in-house embroidery professionals to decide on which stitch pattern to use for each section of your custom designed logo.
Traditional garment screen printing has come a long way to lower its environmental impact, but direct to garment printing is much better at it. Through the entire process of art to completed print, it uses up to five less chemicals than traditional screen printing and much less water. Durability of the print is excellent, plus we are able to decorate most shirt material in great detail.

Doug is AWESOME! I have worked with him on a couple of different occasions and he has been extremely easy to work with. I give him bits and pieces of my vision, and he brings it to life. He also has a ton of different apparel to select from, making sure it will fit into your price range. The best part about this company is the customer service. I came to Doug on a time crunch and he assured me several times that they were going to be able to get it done in time. His team got it done BEFORE my deadline and exceeded all expectations. I can't recommend this company enough.
