Locally Produced, Chicago-Inspired Products

What is Transit Tees?

Founded in 2001 by Tim Gillengerten, Transit Tees takes visuals from Chicago's metropolitan landscapes and transforms them into fashionable artwork, accessories, home goods and more. An official manufacturer of Chicago Transit Authority products, Transit Tees locally designs, fabricates and retails their signature brand online and at two storefronts in Wicker Park and Andersonville. Items in stores are created in their design studio and produced on-site by local artists and craftsmen.

Custom T-Shirt Printing

Transit Tees pulls from its years of screen printing and industry experience to offer high quality custom apparel to local businesses, schools, and Chambers of Commerce. An extremely creative design team and detail oriented production artists have allowed for some amazing opportunities. Transit Tees has created original apparel designs for Morton Salt, Nori Sushi, Antique Taco, F&H Decals, Retro on Roscoe, SOFA Chicago, West Town Chamber of Commerce and many more.
