We craft quality.

Premium Shirts was founded by Eddy Chavez, whose first step into apparel came out of necessity. He began making and selling T-shirts to help put himself through college at USC. As a pre-med student, he started designing team shirts, fraternity merch, and weekly game-day tees. He eventually earned licenses for the entire Pac-10. With support from friends, local artists, and a crew of teammates turned sales reps, Eddy built a small but thriving business right out of the Coliseum parking lot.

That same hands-on, grassroots energy still drives Premium today. Decades later, we’ve grown into one of North America’s most trusted vertically integrated manufacturing partners. We combine experience, creativity, and operational precision to deliver custom graphic apparel at scale.
