I was told it would take the whole month to complete two shirts. The issue I have is the fact that it took much longer than the month. To add insult to injury the one of the items that was done look awful! The color was incorrect and they completely distorted two letters. Please pay the extra few bucks and just order the embroidery online or at a major box store.

The term "Yooper" is unique and something I really never thought I'd be using frequently. After…read morelearning about the UP's (i.e. Michigan's Upper Peninsula) history, my interest grew and I began looking for some UP merch prior to an actual visit in person. Online, I came across Yooper Shirts. Since my ordering experience was so good, I thought I'd add this review! I was impressed when I called to inquire about sizes; the customer service was really friendly via the phone and they double checked some sizes and explained the fit to me. I placed an order and my only real caveat might have been the prices at first since they were a bit above average. My order arrived very quickly to California in just a few days. The sweatshirt I received was top-notch quality and I really liked the design--these elements, high quality material and designs, are definitely the strong suits of Yooper Shirts (pardon the pun). And, I could see why they might charge a bit more too. In person, once I got to their store on my visit, I was able to visit and see many more cool items besides the sweatshirts I had purchased. I read a bit about Yooper Shirts' history and found out it's a real local gem: They apparently began in Ishpeming, (say that 3 times quickly), and, over the years, grew into printing their own merchandise for clothing and opening a retail location in downtown Marquette. I definitely support small businesses like this and the small town atmosphere they organically grow in.
