Review of Skreened

I have used other sites to order shirts but I was always disappointed. I chose Skreened this time because they carry American Apparel in a HUGE variety of styles, sizes and colors. My favorite is the Athletic Tee but I've also been really happy with the Organic Tee. They just get softer over time. The ink is printed with almost 0 thickness, meaning the softness of the shirt is retained and not mucked up with thick screen-printing ink.
The prints are 100% customizable and you aren't limited to a certain set or number of colors. You literally just upload your own design, or they have a tool you can use to make your design. I haven't used the tool (I use Adobe Illustrator) but I hear it's really powerful and intuitive.
As for some of the negative reviews, I think this can be attributed to to poor choice in shirt and design combinations. If you choose a dark design, don't put it on a dark shirt- use common sense. The ink takes on a vintage-washed look after SEVERAL washes- but for me that just improves the look. (And the alternative would be heavy ink, which is just a bummer IMO.) In the end, read everything before you buy and use good judgment and you will be very pleased with the results. I am!
