Back in the 1890’s Gus Trau and Phillip Loevner founded a Pittsburgh company committed to excellence, from clothing to service—a standard that lives on today. With a heritage of doing the right thing for our customers, employees, and community, we’re constantly innovating and moving forward. A leader in screen-printed clothing, Trau & Loevner boasts one of the largest collections of licensed properties available. Our design team’s fashion-forward graphics are featured on eye-catching apparel for men, juniors, and children in America’s largest retailers and trendy boutiques alike. To us, quality screen printing is just the start. We customize programs and packaging to suit your needs. And our house brands, TNT, Savvy, and Tee Luv, give you a range of options. We’re still the energetic, hardworking, family company we were more than a hundred years ago. But now, we’ve got much cooler t-shirts.

In 1982 BuyRight International, now Excel Sportswear, was established to prove high quality supplies for school bookstores nationwide. As the customer base grew clients asked if we could also provide high-quality t-shirts offering creative unique original designs. Excel Sportswear was born. For the first time students, teachers and faculties could create shirts to excite students, build school spirit and compete with the quality and variety of retail shirts. This same formula of original hand-drawn art is now duplicated for businesses, organizations, and nonprofits - 25,000 customers strong. Small run orders of high-quality garments. From the early 1980’s up until 1989 Excel developed a top-notch team of in-house retail quality artists to create original art but continued to use sub-contractors to print. However, the printers couldn’t transfer the detail and quality of the art to the garments.. In 1989 Excel opened its own production facilities and created “soft hand printing” to actually bond the ink into the fabric. Our production people are not “printers” they are craftsmen. You can see and feel a demonstrable difference in Excel-made products. Of course, the world came our way as t-shirts are the single most common advertising product on the planet. We do not just create t-shirts but beautiful powerful personal endorsements of your business, organization, school, or non-profit. Our products reward your customers and employees, advertise your business, celebrate a special event, or just simply show the world what you are passionate about. Almost 80% of our clients sell their shirts for a profit. Excel changed the customized t-shirt industry from "What do you want printed?” to “What do you want to say?"
