About Us

We didn't just wake up one day and decide to print a few t-shirts. PVD Tees is born out of a real-world, ink-under-the-fingernails heritage. We're the sister brand of East Coast Embroidery, a staple in East Providence that's been cranking out professional screen printing, embroidery, and laser engraving since 1986.

After decades of making everyone else look good, we realized it was time to build something specifically for the people who actually live, work, and grab coffee milk here. We launched PVD Tees as a pure Rhode Island pride brand. No corporate fluff, no outsourced designs; just high-quality gear made by locals who know the difference between a cabinet and a milkshake.

Operating out of our shop right here in East Providence, we use the same industrial-grade precision we've honed for forty years to celebrate the quirks of the Ocean State. Whether you're a lifelong local or a transplant who finally figured out how to navigate a rotary, our gear is built for you. We're proud of where we're from, and we're damn proud of the work we put out.
