Group Halloween Costume Shirts in NYC and Austin

Group costumes fall apart for one reason: somebody does not commit. A custom shirt fixes that. Everyone wears the same base, the joke lands in one photo, and nobody spends $80 on a costume they wear once.

Ten group costume shirt ideas

1. The crew as a band. Make up a band name, print a tour shirt with your own dates and cities.
2. The group chat, printed. Screenshot the most unhinged message and put it on everyone's chest.
3. One face, six shirts. Everyone wears a photo of the friend who could not make it.
4. Staff shirts. Pick a fake business and print "STAFF" shirts with a name tag for each person.
5. The seven deadly sins. One word per shirt. Fight over who gets which.
6. Your pets, as the headliners. Each person wears their own pet's photo.
7. A family reunion. Matching "Reunion 2026" shirts with a family name nobody actually has.
8. A throwback yearbook. Everyone's most embarrassing old photo, printed.
9. Word caps as the costume. Matching dad hats, one word each, that spell a sentence when you stand in a row.
10. Harryween. Going to Harry at MSG on October 30 or 31? A group shirt with your own design is the easiest costume in the building. See our MSG guide.

What we print, and what we cannot

We print your own photos and artwork on tees, and word patches on caps and beanies. We cannot print logos, brand marks or artist merch designs, so a costume built on a movie logo is a no. Your own drawing of the character is fine.

What it costs

Custom tees start at $45, totes at $35 and hoodies at $65, blank included, quoted per order before we print. Word caps are $35 and word beanies $25, made to order.

When to order

• Custom tees: printed while you wait at our East Village shop (under 30 minutes for a single shirt) and quoted per order in East Austin. Groups should message a day or two ahead with sizes and colors.
• Word caps and beanies: made to order, about 5 to 7 days to make, then up to a week to ship. Order by October 17 to have them for Halloween weekend.
• Halloween week itself: expect the shops to be busy. Come early in the day.
