Our Heritage

Shirtworks is one of the longest established t-shirt printers in the UK. Our humble origins in the early ‘80s began in Oxford selling t-shirts to Oxford University students and the public from a stall in the Jam Factory market in the centre of the city.

Our intrepid marketing plan at the time included selling Oxford University branded t-shirts and sweatshirts to tourists in the height of the summer from an antiquated bike with a wicker basket! Whether we were screen printing, selling printed t-shirts in the market stall or peddling the bike, it was still a very busy and memorable time.
