You’ve seen our design catalog. You’ve met with us at a show. And there are a bunch of designs you’re digging, but you’re just not sure they will work for your location. It doesn’t seem like a perfect match, so you’re hesitant to place an order. We understand. Our detailed, customizable artwork is what sets Wild West apart, but it can be tough to envision how your customized design will look if you don’t know the process. Let’s dive into a step-by-step guide to customizing your design.
STEP 1: Discover Artwork You Love
This step may seem obvious, but honestly it can be the most challenging part for a buyer! There are A LOT of designs to choose from in the Wild West design catalogs and finding what you love (that your customer will love) and narrowing it down from hundreds of options can be overwhelming. Let us help! Our sales team knows the artwork with their eyes closed. Give them an overview of the type of styles you’re looking for, what’s been a hit in the past, and the overall aesthetic of your shop. From there, our team can introduce you to a few designs that will help guide the artwork discussion and distill down the process to find the artwork selects that work for you.

STEP 2: Change It Up
So the artwork you’ve selected features lions, tigers, bears – oh my! But you’re a fishing shop and the details in that art just won’t fly. Not a problem, let’s dig into some fishing art that is already created to pull some icons and design components that work for your unique needs. Our sales team knows exactly what can and cannot be changed within each unique piece of art. They’ll be able to show you other options that could work in that space, but during this part of the process you have to use your imagination and trust the team. It can be hard to “see” what isn’t actually there, but our experienced sales team has done this before and their recommendations come straight from our art department.
STEP 3: Place Your Order
The hard part is now complete! Let us help you pick size breakdowns and unit totals for your order so that you can get your job in our production queue. Once your order is in the system, the art department gets to work on customizing your design. Here, the sky is the limit. If you love it after the first proof, awesome! If you want to swap out colors or try a different icon, also cool! The process is part of the fun. You didn’t buy something off-the-rack, you’re customizing your design to suit your shop and we want it to be exactly what you’re envisioning.
STEP 4: Approve Your Art
The most important step of them all! Since we don’t sell pre-made products, everything is printed on demand. We don’t print your order until you are 100% happy with your design, colors and format. Make sure your proof is perfect – spelling, artwork and any additional information you include.
STEP 5: Leave the Rest to Us
Once your proof is approved, we do the rest! We match the garments to your order, queue your customized artwork for production and pack and ship once it is printed. A Wild West Shirt Company will show up at your door by the agreed-upon ship date.
