Twisted Kilts Tees

What Twisted Kilts Tees does

Twisted Kilts Tees & Such is a privately held, owner-operated custom apparel and promotional products business established in 2010 and based in Indianapolis, Indiana (with a contact/mailing address in Avon, IN). The company provides custom printed or embroidered apparel across an extensive catalog that spans t-shirts, juniors' apparel, sweats, athletic uniforms, hats, outerwear, bags, business apparel, and women's apparel, with size coverage from onesies to 5XL. A single named contact ("Larry") handles sales via phone (317-413-8900) and email, with the website serving as the primary product discovery channel.

Complementing its apparel business, the company operates a promotional products line ("& Such") covering buttons, dog tags, key rings, koozies, lapel pins, magnets, money clips, patches, wrist bands, lanyards, metal items, silicone/PVC items, and miscellaneous merchandise, with stated budgets ranging from $100 to $10,000 per project. The company sources from multiple suppliers and claims a cost advantage derived from low overhead and creative sourcing rather than from proprietary technology.

More recently, the company launched TKDesign, a Shopify-based ecommerce website development service with prices starting at $599, including site setup, image and collection creation, and optional monthly maintenance. TKDesign represents a new revenue stream that targets the same SMB and organizational customer base that purchases apparel and promo products, with sample client sites including cranekids.com, savannahstrong.life, r4lshop.com, and gear584.com. The company has no disclosed revenue, no headcount data, no outside funding, and no parent company or institutional investors.
