Custom Bootleg T-Shirts

A custom bootleg T-shirt is a unique, vintage-inspired design that blends nostalgia, streetwear aesthetics, and DIY creativity. At Garment Printing, we specialise in bringing these ideas to life with high-quality printing techniques, so your design looks like a rare, thrift-shop-worthy find. Whether you want faded tour merch vibes, an artistic mashup, or an underground streetwear piece, we can print it for you.

Yes! At Garment Printing, we offer fully customisable T-shirt printing, allowing you to create your own unique bootleg-inspired design. Just upload your artwork, choose your print method, and we’ll handle the rest.

We offer several high-quality printing methods to get the perfect bootleg effect:

• Screen Printing – Ideal for that authentic, slightly imperfect retro look.
• DTG (Direct-to-Garment) Printing – Great for detailed, full-colour designs with a slightly faded aesthetic.
• Vinyl Printing – Best for bold graphics and text-based designs.
• Embroidery – If you want to add a stitched element to your bootleg tee.

At Garment Printing, we recommend:

• 100% Cotton Tees – Soft and breathable, perfect for that vintage feel.
• Heavyweight Cotton – Great for structured, 90s-inspired fits.
• Cotton-Poly Blends – A mix of durability and comfort, giving that naturally worn-in look over time.

Yes! Many of our customers create limited-edition bootleg-inspired tees to sell as part of their streetwear brand. However, we always advise ensuring your designs don’t infringe on copyright laws. Our team can help with best practices for creating unique, legally sound designs.

If you want that real bootleg aesthetic, consider:

• Bold, retro fonts
• Slightly faded or grainy textures
• Oversized, off-centre graphics
• Collage-style mashups with vintage effects

Our team at Garment Printing can help refine your design to achieve the perfect bootleg look!

Turnaround times vary depending on the order size and printing method, but we offer fast printing and express delivery options across Australia. Get in touch with us for an estimated delivery date on your custom bootleg tees.

To keep your tee looking fresh:

• Wash inside out in cold water.
• Use a mild detergent to preserve colours.
• Avoid high heat when drying—air drying is best.
• If ironing, turn the tee inside out to protect the print.
