Custom Embroidery & Apparel in New Bedford, MA — America's Top Fishing Port, Decorated Nearby
Decorated apparel for the working waterfront around State Pier, the scalloping fleet that's kept New Bedford the country's most valuable fishing port for over two decades, and the historic downtown around the Whaling National Historical Park.
Serving New Bedford
Short answer: New Bedford is about 30–35 minutes from our East Providence shop via I-195 — most orders ship rather than get picked up, with a customer base spanning the commercial fishing and marine trades, healthcare facilities, and downtown waterfront retail.
New Bedford has been ranked the highest-value commercial fishing port in the entire United States for over 20 years running, anchored by its scalloping fleet working out of State Pier and the working waterfront. That same waterfront carries the city's whaling history — preserved today at the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park — alongside a downtown of galleries, shops, and restaurants, and healthcare employers serving the wider SouthCoast area. New Bedford businesses are represented by One SouthCoast Chamber, the same regional chamber that covers Fall River.
What New Bedford Businesses Order Most

- Healthcare facilities — embroidered scrubs and clinic outerwear. See our healthcare guide.
- Downtown waterfront retail & hospitality — branded staff apparel for the shops, galleries, and restaurants around the historic district.
Pickup & Delivery
New Bedford is a bit farther from our East Providence shop, so most orders ship straight to your door rather than get picked up. Free pickup at our Waterman Ave shop is always available too — pricing is the same either way.
