Smart T’s has been producing quality branded garments since 1996 and believe we offer a friendly, bespoke service at highly competitive rates.
We have a range of pre-printed Tees available, many with a “drink” related theme, and have a line of humorous slogans, all silk-screen printed for both longevity and durabilty, which we sell at Beer Festivals around the country and using the CATALOGUE links in the navigation above.
With our Bespoke Service we are able to advise on your personal needs, from the most apt decoration process to the suitability of garments for your end use – whether that is for leisure, heavy-soil workwear or light office duties. We won’t offer a cheap quote to secure your order – we’ll offer what we believe suits your needs at a competitive price.
If you are interested in having your own design(s) printed or embroidered onto garments, such as T’s, Polo, Sweat, Fleeces etc, we welcome the opportunity to quote to supply according to your needs.

Frequently asked questions....
Below is our guide to garment fittings. Please remember it is approximate – some people wear their shirts tighter than others!
If you are unsure of what size you need, the best way is to measure one of your existing shirts that fits you well and compare it to the “flat across chest” measurement.

All of our stock designs are silk-screen printed and, therefore are produced in bulk as required during the course of the year; unfortunately this does not allow for specific requests to be met – including sizes that are not in the options box.
If you see sites offering a choice of shirt colours and sizes, ad hoc it will be because they are “transfer” or “vinyl” printed images. Whereas we acknowledge this is great for offering choice, we feel the print quality is not as durable as screen print and avoid these styles of printing where longevity is demanded. Smart T’s shirts are designed to last for a reasonable amount of time and, if you follow the care instructions on the label should out-last ‘transfers’ or ‘vinyl’ prints in spades. This, we believe, offers better value for money.
All designs are in stock and orders are normally dispatched within 48 hours of your order being received. UK orders are sent by Royal Mail 1st Class Post which are scheduled to arrive within 3 working days of dispatch. For any other region please contact your postal service for information. Specific delivery dates cannot be guaranteed and orders can only be sent by standard Royal Mail post service – sorry, but we cannot dispatch by Recorded Delivery, Special Delivery or Next Day Delivery and can only advise that you place your order with ample time to receive for any time-sensitive occasions. Specific instructions such as “If not in, please leave in the plastic box behind the shed” (or similar) cannot be adhered to, also see “Packaging”, below.
In the unlikely event your order is not currently in stock we will advise within 48 hours. You will be offered the opportunity to cancel your order with complete refund, await re-stocking or to select an alternative design or size. We aim to hold all items in stock or to re-stock within 14 days.
All shirts are posted separately, regardless of multiple orders being placed at the same time; shirts are dispatched in a bio-degradeable plastic envelope, suitable for delivery through a standard letterbox and no signature is required. Shirts are folded inside the envelope. Although we make our best endeavours to avoid ‘surprise gifts’ being discovered it will clearly be fabric inside the envelope!
Pre-Printed Tees Delivery Schedule:
All designs are in stock and orders are normally dispatched within 48 hours of your order being received.
UK: orders are sent by Royal Mail 1st Class Post which are scheduled to arrive within 3 working days of dispatch.
Europe, North America and Australia: orders are sent by Royal Mail 1st Class Air Mail and will arrive after 5 working days.
For any other region: please refer to your local mail service for more information.
Specific delivery dates cannot be guaranteed and orders can only be sent by standard Royal Mail post services – sorry, but we cannot dispatch by Recorded Delivery, Special Delivery or Next Day Delivery and can only advise that you order with ample time to receive for any time-sensitive occasions. Specific instructions such as “If not in, please leave in the plastic box behind the shed” (or similar) cannot be adhered to.
Returns/Refund Policy Pre-Printed shirts:
Don’t panic! We all make mistakes. If you are at all unhappy with your garment(s), whether it be an incorrect size, ordered in error or simply an unwanted gift, we will be only too pleased to refund your payment for all or part of your order, provided the goods are returned in the same condition in which they were supplied; simply return to Smart T’s Ltd, enclosing a brief description of your requirements and a return address; unfortunately it may mean we need to issue a cheque for the amount due as there is limited time in which we can refund to your card account, which will mean we will also need a name to make the cheque payable to; we cannot accept returned goods that have been washed or excessively worn or are no longer in the same condition as supplied. This does not effect your statutory rights. Our ‘no quibble guarantee’ is for 30 days from receipt of order but we may extend this under certain conditions, such as a gift for an occasion in the future where the complaint could not be anticipated. Goods received as our error will be replaced without further cost to you.
