Looking for the Perfect Retreat Shirt? Think Long Sleeves 😄
Fall retreats are all about bonding, reflection, and growing together as a faith community. But if you've ever tried to organize one, you know it’s a lot more than booking a cabin and scheduling devotionals. One common detail that sneaks up fast? What everyone will wear. Custom t-shirts are popular—but when the weather cools down, long sleeve shirts are the perfect upgrade.
They keep your group cozy in the crisp fall air and still show off your church logo, retreat theme, or verse of the year.
Why Long Sleeves Work So Well for Fall Retreats 🍁
Fall weather is unpredictable. Mornings can be chilly, afternoons sunny, and evenings downright cold. Long sleeve shirts give your group flexibility while keeping everyone coordinated and comfortable.
Here’s why they just make sense:
- Extra warmth without adding bulky layers – Keeps the vibe casual and unified in group photos
- Same full-color customization – Just like our short sleeves, long sleeves work with every design and color
- Better for outdoor sessions – Perfect for bonfires, hikes, or worship nights under the stars
Your retreat shirt should do more than look good—it should suit how you spend your time together. Long sleeves meet that need effortlessly.
What Religious Groups Usually Order
We’ve worked with youth groups, Bible study teams, and multi-day retreat organizers. A few popular choices for fall:
- Gildan® Ultra Cotton long sleeve tees – durable but soft
- Hanes® heavyweight long sleeves – great for layering
- Bella+Canvas® ringspun cotton – smooth feel with modern fit
All of these come in a wide range of sizes, which is helpful if you’re ordering for kids, teens, and adults. And yes—we sort and package everything by size and name if you’d like. That saves a ton of time during check-in or welcome sessions.
Worried About Timing? Don’t Be ⏱️
Many groups realize a bit late that they need custom apparel. That’s where we shine. At 24 Hour Tees®, we’re built for speed without cutting corners. Whether your retreat is 2 weeks away or 2 days out, we have a process that helps you get your shirts fast and correctly done.
We even offer options for rush orders and same-day printing—depending on our schedule and your shirt selection. It’s worth giving us a call or message to see what timeline works best.
How to Make the Process Easy
Planning a retreat already comes with enough decisions. Here’s how we keep your shirt order streamlined:
- Use our online designer to upload your logo or verse
- Pick your shirt type – long sleeve, color, and sizes (we’re happy to help!)
- Approve the digital proof that shows exactly what you’re getting
- We print and sort your order—packaged by size, ready to hand out
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, our team can walk you through the whole process over phone, chat, or email. We’ve helped plenty of church leaders and volunteer teams who are new to screen printing.
Extras That Make a Big Difference
Not every screen printing company thinks about what happens once the shirts are printed. But we do—because we know retreat planning is a team effort. Here’s what makes us different:
- Bagged and labeled shirts by person or size
- Clear communication along the way—so there are zero surprises
- Flexible artwork help if your design needs tweaking or resizing
And yes, we regularly support religious nonprofits and youth ministries with special pricing based on your order needs.
