Top selling apparel from 2025 a year in review.

From local trade show floors to the finish lines of community 5Ks, 2025 was a year of big goals and even bigger team moments. At Timothy Ink, we’ve spent the last year helping the planners, the doers, and the organizers of Chester and Montgomery Counties make the magic happen.

Looking back at the thousands of orders we customized and delivered tells a story about our community. We saw you outfitting field crews in Phoenixville, thanking clients in King of Prussia with premium tumblers, and building a sense of belonging for nonprofits in West Chester through the power of a great t-shirt.

As a local company, we love seeing our work out in the wild. Here is the gear that defined 2025 and is set to dominate 2026.

2025’s Top-Selling Custom Apparel

You want your team to look good, but we know you need them to feel good, too. That explains why the Gildan Softstyle Jersey T-Shirt was our undisputed heavyweight champion of 2025. It’s soft, durable, and proves you don’t have to sacrifice comfort for a professional look.

Beyond the T-Shirt: The Rise of the Quarter-Zip

While tees are always a staple, 2025 was the year the "Professional Uniform" evolved. We saw a massive surge in:

• Custom Quarter-Zips: This is the defining look of the “business casual but ready for anything” vibe. It’s polished enough for a meeting in Conshohocken but comfortable enough for the commute on 202.

• Performance Gear: For landscaping teams and local charity runs, the AllPro Interlock UPF 50 Performance Shirt was the top pick to beat the PA summer heat and humidity.

Tools of the Trade: Desk & Lifestyle Favorites

Your custom needs go way beyond the closet. In 2025, you proved that there is still massive power in putting pen to paper.

• The Notebook Renaissance: Our Medium Hard Cover Notebook was the best-selling item for local offices.

• The Ultimate "Thank You": When our local business partners wanted to make a lasting impression, they chose the YETI Laser Engraved 20 oz. Rambler. It’s the ultimate retail-quality gift that people actually keep and use daily.

• The Bulk Crowd-Pleaser: For high-volume events like trade shows, the Sleek Write Rubberized Ballpoint Pen was the #1 non-apparel item ordered. It’s practical, tactile, and gets your brand into thousands of hands.

Local Impact: Health & Personal Care

We noticed a major shift this year: Health & Personal Care grew faster than any other category. Local organizers are leaning into wellness, ordering things like:

• Custom Lip Balms

• Sunscreen & Hand Sanitizers

This trend tells us that you care about the person behind the title. Providing swag that promotes well-being sends a message of genuine appreciation.

Here’s to the Organizers

Managing sizes, tracking shipping, and perfecting designs is a lot of work—but you handled it like a pro. At Timothy Ink, we’re proud to be your neighbor and your partner in making your team look united and your brand stand out.
