Welcome to Iowa City Apparel! Two students had the idea buying a t-shirt company in May of 2018 when they were both 20 years old. After contemplating it for a little while, they decided to buy Iowa City Apparel and all of the inventory from a former student at the University of Iowa after he chose to leave Iowa City. With no prior business knowledge, they set to work hiring their own accountant, setting up their own business bank account and getting legally filed with the state.         

On June 1st, 2018, Iowa City Apparel became an official LLC in the state of Iowa. 

As full-time students ourselves, we understand that money runs short while in college so we wanted to make custom shirts affordable for the students at the university. By making our own designs and hand pressing every design on the shirts, we are able to save on production costs which lowers the price for the consumer. 5 years removed from when it began, Iowa City Apparel has done hundreds of custom orders for the Iowa City Area and beyond, and with our expanded ownership team, we hope to grow our business even further.
