Why We Built an Embroidered T-Shirt Brand Around Detroit
There’s no place like Detroit. The city’s grit, resilience, and unapologetic spirit shaped who we are—and inspired us to build My Tackie Tees, an embroidered t-shirt company born and raised in the heart of the Motor City.
As Detroit natives, we’ve seen the city rise, fall, and rise again. We grew up surrounded by iconic music, legendary sports teams, rich Black culture, and a hustle mentality that’s unmatched. It only made sense to channel all that into something creative, wearable, and meaningful.
Why Embroidery?
In a world full of fast fashion and screen-printed tees, embroidery stands out. It’s detailed. It’s durable. And most importantly—it’s timeless. Every embroidered design from My Tackie Tees feels more like art than apparel. When you wear one of our pieces, you’re not just wearing a shirt—you’re wearing a statement.
We wanted to bring that premium, elevated look to the culture we love—Detroit culture.
Detroit-Inspired, Always
Detroit isn’t just our hometown—it’s our theme. Our designs pay homage to the neighborhoods, sayings, and soul of the city. Whether it’s our “Detroit Thick” collection, the “Steady Boomin” embroidered denim jackets, or our “Bad Hair Day” mom hats, every drop is personal.
We don’t follow trends—we tell stories. And every stitch is a reflection of the city that raised us.
Building a Brand With Purpose
Starting My Tackie Tees wasn’t just about creating clothes. It was about building community. We wanted something that represented Detroit the way we see it—bold, creative, resilient, and full of pride. Our pieces are made on demand, reducing waste and keeping each order intentional and unique.
As we grow, our mission remains the same: put Detroit on the map in the fashion world while staying true to our roots.
Shop Local. Wear Detroit.
If you’ve ever felt like Detroit deserved more shine, or if you simply want gear that reflects the real culture—not a watered-down version—My Tackie Tees is for you.
