Shop by brand
Every brand we print, embroider, and laser
On The Island Apparel sources blanks from S&S Activewear, SanMar, and direct-from-manufacturer relationships, then decorates them in our Huntington, NY shop using DTF printing, computerized embroidery, and CO2 laser engraving. The eight brands below are our tier-1 authority pages — each has a full editorial page with featured styles, decoration guidance for that brand's typical fabric, and a set of FAQs we get asked the most often about that catalog.
Past these eight, we keep a working catalog of roughly 190+ brands available to source and decorate on demand. If you don't see a brand listed, that usually means we haven't written a long-form page for it yet — not that we can't get it. Use the catalog browser or the personal shopper if you need help routing to a brand we haven't profiled here.

What we decorate them with
Three methods, one Huntington shop.
Every brand above gets decorated the same way: DTF printing for full-color and photographic artwork, computerized embroidery for polos / hats / outerwear, and laser engraving for leather goods, drinkware, and accessories. Each method page explains which brands tend to run best with that decoration and why.
