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.

T-shirts, tanks, and long sleeves

ProductBrandVIP base
Airlume Cotton TeeBear Grips$19.88
Premium CVC Jersey TeeNext Level$24.88
Ladies Racerback TankNext Level$19.88
Women's Essential Spaghetti Strap TankBella+Canvas$25.88
Long Sleeve Cotton ShirtBella+Canvas$29.88

These cover the bulk of custom t shirt, tank top, and long sleeve searches in one fixed price list.

Hats and embroidery

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.

Hoodies, sweatshirts, and pullovers

ProductBrandVIP base
Comfort Soft HoodieBear Grips$36.88
Champion Performance HoodieChampion$45.88
Perfect Soft CrewneckBear Grips$34.88
Unisex Champion CrewneckChampion$41.88
Men's Performance Quarter-Zip PulloverSport-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.

Polos

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.

What stays the same across every product on this list

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.

Is there a minimum order on any of these products?

Do boxer shorts or underwear-style items appear in the catalog?

No. The catalog covers outerwear, tees, tanks, hoodies, sweats, shorts, leggings, and headwear, not underwear-category items.

Yes. The same uploaded design can be applied across multiple products in the catalog without re-uploading for each item.
