Crooked Monkey
We set ourselves apart from other screen printers by going above and beyond to bring retail quality merchandise to your brand. We focus on high quality design and logistics with a specialty in customer service. Beyond our screen printing and embroidery capabilities, we have relationships with factories all over the world (yes the world), and are able to bring all of your fully custom ideas to life.

In 2005, we began selling "f*ck duke" t-shirts out of our dorm at the University of Maryland where my future wife bought our very first shirt. After being chased through the quad by the cops and getting tossed out of the dorms we launched our first line of retail shirts that summer. Our apparel first focused on funny shirts you could wear out of the house.

Our organization teamed up with Crooked Monkey to create a new line of custom bags and jackets for our members and they turned out absolutely amazing! Pillar and her team went above and beyond making sure our new items were exactly how we wanted them to look. Plus, they have fair prices and quick turnaround times! We will definitely be doing more business with them in the future.

I reached out to Crooked Monkey to create some branded merch for my company's annual event. Not only was the merch of great quality, but Crooked Monkey shipped the kits to every employee directly, had fantastic customer service, and were just great along the entire planning and execution process. Will absolutely be using again. Thanks Micha & MJ!

I can’t say enough good things about Pillar, Emily, Micah and the rest of the staff!!! They were able to make my vision come to life based on a challenging design and even went as far as to help me brand things not normally done. As a new business owner I can say I am glad I made the decision to have my apparel printed here as it has opened the door for many possibilities and Crooked Monkey Can literally do almost any thing you can imagine.
Hope this Helps if your trying to decide on a printing company. They are much more than that. They will consult with you, understand the culture of your

Crooked Monkey was as joy to work with for our cooperate holiday gift this season! The entire team was a joy to work with from design to execution. All items were received in a timely manner and the highest quality. Our employees loved all the customs touches the Crooked Monkey team was able to produce, including custom boxes that were the cutest little thing to receive on their front porch. 10/10 would recommend for all your needs.

I could have gone anywhere to get my custom t-shirts, but when a friend told me about how great of an experience they had with Crooked Monkey I had to see for myself. I am so impressed with the genuine and quality customer service I received from my sales person Jon that I will never again go anywhere else for custom apparel. Thanks Crooked Monkey!

I've worked with Jon Lacerda on a couple of projects over the past year. He is an absolute joy to speak and work with. He takes the time to speak with you and truly understand what your needs are. His recommendations have always been a bit hit with our employees. Somehow, he is always able to deliver our orders in a short amount of time, fitting without tight turnaround needs. I can't say enough nice things about him or Crooked Monkey. Thank you, Jon!

It was a dream working with Crooked Monkey. Micha, Pillar and their team was responsive, personable, understanding and listened well to our needs. The custom design was FABULOUS! We had a fast turn around and they worked hard to meet the deadline. We are getting our message out to our community in a fun and safe way because Crooked Monkey helped us! We couldn't be happier and look forward to working with them again.

I bought the 3-ply custom masks but when they arrived they are not sewn to be fitted like they are advertised. They are instead just a flat cloth. No good.

Pillar and Micah at CM are more than printers- They will help you develop your business. They have gone above and beyond for me and all my crazy ideas and have made them a reality!

I can’t ask for more, and i received more than I thought with the assistance, guidance, and lots of patience as I asked for different variations and colors, Pillar was happy to assist. Pillar helped my vision come to life on my clothing and I am grateful to them. Crooked Monkey is a Great value and

Crooked Monkey was so helpful in making sure we received our shirts for our fundraiser in time, and they were even more helpful in helping us spice up our design. Our t-shirts look better than we even imagined, and I highly recommend them for custom apparel in the DC area!

Extremely professional, responsive and unbelievable customer service! The t-shirts were of great quality. Thank you to Mr. Micha who was our point of contact. He was literally answering to all our queries 24/7! His responses came so quickly each time. Our organization had a huge yoga event at the Mall area in Washington DC and we can't thank Crooked Monkey enough for its brilliant customer support. We had 2000 guests and literally everyone loved the t shirts. The t shirts were not only of superior quality but also at a reasonable price. We've called/ emailed/ texted so many times with

First we wanted hats for our employees to wear. So they designed us some cool hats at a reasonable price. But then our guests wanted the hats too, so we ordered more. Then the process repeated with shirts. Throughout, they were flexible, creative and fun. What we originally thought we would be an expense has become a source of profit. Enough said!

I have only great things to say about getting custom t-shirts done here! Micha and his team were easy to work with and super helpful in coming up with a design that was catchy but not over the top. Their professionalism and quick turnaround was very impressive and probably the biggest reason I'll call them for our next event t-shirts or other swag.

If there's anything they could do better - I will suggest how about about including a little chocolate or other surprise candy in the box of t-shirts. That way when I'm at my office and the event team says our shirts arrived, I can ask

Quality shirts. Thankfully with Micha's design suggestion we ended up selling more shirts for our charity!

Crooked Monkey is a fantastic company. I have made two separate orders through them and have been completely pleased with both. They are efficient, professional and provide premium products at a discounted price. I would highly recommend them to anyone interested in custom-made apparel!
