Search behavior around custom apparel on Etsy clusters into a fairly small set of product categories: t-shirts, hoodies, hats, sweatshirts, polos, and tank tops account for most of the volume. Whether the intent is to buy a one-off piece or to research setting up a shop to sell one of these categories, it helps to know what a fixed-price catalog looks like for the same products, since an Etsy listing price usually already has a POD app fee, a print markup, or both baked in before the seller's own margin is added.
| Product | Brand | VIP base |
|---|---|---|
| Airlume Cotton Tee | Bear Grips | $19.88 |
| Premium CVC Jersey Tee | Next Level | $24.88 |
| Ladies Racerback Tank | Next Level | $19.88 |
| Women's Essential Spaghetti Strap Tank | Bella+Canvas | $25.88 |
| Long Sleeve Cotton Shirt | Bella+Canvas | $29.88 |
These cover the bulk of custom t shirt, tank top, and long sleeve searches in one fixed price list.
Custom hats for men, custom hats with logo, and custom embroidered hats are three of the most common hat-related searches around Etsy sellers. The catalog covers all three with printed and embroidered options: the Classic Rope Hat (Richardson, printed) and Premium 5-Panel Baseball Hat (Otto Cap, printed) at $29.86 VIP base, and the Classic Flat Bill Snapback (Yupoong, embroidery) also at $29.86, with the Mesh Snapback and Adjustable Cotton Lifestyle Hat at $25.88.
Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.| Product | Brand | VIP base |
|---|---|---|
| Comfort Soft Hoodie | Bear Grips | $36.88 |
| Champion Performance Hoodie | Champion | $45.88 |
| Perfect Soft Crewneck | Bear Grips | $34.88 |
| Unisex Champion Crewneck | Champion | $41.88 |
| Men's Performance Quarter-Zip Pullover | Sport-Tek | $29.88 |
"Custom pullover" and "custom sweaters" searches map cleanest to the quarter-zip pullover and the crewneck tiers, since a dedicated knit sweater is not part of the print catalog.
Custom polo shirt and custom polos searches land on two pique polo options: the Men's Performance Polo (Sport-Tek) and the Men's and Women's Premium Cotton Pique Polo (Gildan), all at $34.88 VIP base. Embroidered polo requests are covered under the same product line, since embroidery and print both apply at the same fixed price with no per-method surcharge.
Every product above ships free to the buyer, prints in about a week, and carries no order minimum, whether the order is one piece or a hundred. The vendor sets the retail price on top of the VIP base and keeps the margin. For the loungewear side of the catalog (joggers, leggings, sweatpants), see the dedicated loungewear guide, and for embroidery-specific options, see the embroidered apparel guide.
