There's plenty of brick and mortar locations in Calgary that do this. I believe even London Drugs does this? Or are you worried about the t shirt quality or final print quality or something?
I'm not sure if you're hoping to print, embroider, silk screen, vinyl etc. a shirt which is a huge difference too.
Others might think it's just something on surface of fabric, but printing isn't always straight forward. I remember going through a printed scrapbook with the wife for a gift she was making for the parents/inlaws, and seeing the matte vs gloss vs paper quality vs print quality difference was pretty jarring.
I could imagine that a difference in t-shirt and printing style could create a totally different look etc.
If you're doing embroidering, bc-chris is worth reaching out to. He's not in Calgary, but I don't think it's too hard to organize some kind of reasonable pick up from Kelowna. Canada post prepaid boxes aren't too expensive either for a few t shirts assuming they don't strike again. I've had him do some embroidery and he's nothing short of awesome. Quality very good (assuming provided instructions and requests aren't bad/unreasonable), but also walking me through different fabric/baseball cap options, plus pros and cons beyond basic cost differences, and alternatives in design if there's a risk it could end up looking a little funky.
