Did you know that ShirtSpace started in a garage among a group of friends and family?
Originally founded in 2004 by screenprinting supply pioneer, Ryonet, and purchased just
one year later by Ryonet employee #7, ShirtSpace has come a long way since its inception
over 15 years ago.
Proud to be a U.S. based company in the Pacific Northwest, ShirtSpace is made up of creative,
dedicated team members who all bring unique skillsets and colorful personalities to the office.
ShirtSpace isn't just about selling t-shirts.
Starting from the top-down, every member of the ShirtSpace family is committed to serving our
customers. For us, we consider our customers part of our family and understand that we serve
a diverse group of people with unique needs. Whether you're running a business, big or small,
are dabbling in a new hobby, or you're a savvy shopper looking for the perfect piece— you matter to us.
"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life."
Confucius got it right — It's easy to work as a team when you feel like a family and the ShirtSpace
team can attest to that. Headquartered just minutes away from iconic Mount St. Helens with every
department under one roof, team members enjoy frequent perks & laughs, comprehensive benefits, birthday
& holiday parties, and unmatched flexibility.
Alternately, it's easy to support others when you're supported. It's science. And a family-first mentality.

"The question isn't what are we going to do. The question is what aren't we going to do?"
Ferris Bueller got it right too. And when it comes to our customers, our commitment is unmatched
and we'll go above and beyond to prove it. With both globally-sourced and American-made apparel,
we'll search high and low to find what you need and get it to you quickly. That's our promise to you.
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
It's no secret that we have a talented team of people who keep operations running smoothly and ensure
that our customers are happy. But, behind every successful wholesale apparel distributor is a group
of reputable, highly-skilled apparel manufacturers who make this all possible. From pioneers and
household names including Gildan and Hanes, to innovative trendsetters like Next Level and Bella+Canvas, we make a conscious decision to offer apparel from brands who share similar values, who are committed
to ethical business practices and corporate social responsibility, and who continually look for ways
to sustainably source their apparel.
It's important to us at ShirtSpace to empower our team members to be able to give back to a community
that has given us so much. As a team, we've selected six categories that resonate with the ShirtSpace
