Restaurant, cafe and downtown shop shirts for Nevada City and Grass Valley
Broad Street and Mill Street businesses need two things: a staff shirt that survives a dish pit and a merch tee a visitor buys on the way out. Battle Born Clothing prints the tees, embroiders the aprons and ships to Nevada City by ground from Yerington, Nevada.
Who orders
Restaurants, cafes, bakeries, coffee roasters, bookstores, outdoor shops and galleries in downtown Nevada City and Grass Valley, plus the Penn Valley and Truckee businesses that serve the same visitors. Typical orders: 12 to 36 staff shirts, 48 to 96 merch tees, a dozen aprons.

- PC61 or PC55 staff tees, 1-color left-chest print or back print
- PC450 or Comfort Colors 1717 merch
- Port Authority A500 full-length aprons, embroidered: blank $13.98, $19.98 all-in at 24

A realistic job
A Grass Valley cafe: 48 merch tees, 24 aprons, 12 staff tees
| Line | Qty | Each | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| PC61 tee, natural, 1-color front logo (merch) | 48 | $10.38 | $498.24 |
| Screen, 1 color | 1 | $20.00 | $20.00 |
| Port Authority A500 apron, left-chest embroidery (24-47 tier) | 24 | $19.98 | $479.52 |
| Digitizing, one logo | 1 | $18.99 | $18.99 |
| PC61 tee, black, staff, same screen | 12 | Quoted per job | Quoted |
| Order total | $1,016.75 + staff tees |
The staff tees use the merch screen, so the only extra cost is the short-run per-piece rate, quoted per job. A left-chest embroidered logo on the staff tees instead ($6.00 each at the 12-23 tier, $12.04 all-in on a PC61) uses the apron digitizing file at no extra setup.
Small staff orders
Under 48 shirts with a one-color logo, we usually suggest embroidery or DTF and tell you which is cheaper. One replacement shirt for a new hire is a normal order. There is no hard minimum.
What to send
- Logo (vector)
- Staff count by size and merch quantity
- Shirt and apron colors
- Whether the merch is for sale (we can suggest a retail-feel blank)
Questions
Can you print the menu or a slogan on the back?
Yes. One color is one screen. Keep text at least 0.1 inch tall so it prints clean.
Do aprons count toward the shirt quantity?
Aprons are embroidered, so they count toward the embroidery tier with any other embroidered pieces, not the screen print run.
