Serving Newport
Short answer: Newport is about 50 minutes from our East Providence shop via I-195 East onto Aquidneck Island — most orders ship rather than get picked up, with a customer base centered on yacht clubs and marinas, hospitality and tourism, and the boutique shops of the historic waterfront.
Newport's economy runs on the water. Newport Harbor, Bannister's Wharf, and Bowen's Wharf anchor a working waterfront that includes the Newport Yacht Club, Ida Lewis Yacht Club, and the New York Yacht Club's Newport station, alongside marinas like Newport Yachting Center and Newport Shipyard that host a busy charter and racing season every summer. Ocean Drive and the Bellevue Avenue mansion district draw a steady flow of tourism, event, and hospitality business, and Salve Regina University and Naval Station Newport add a year-round institutional base beyond the seasonal swing. The Greater Newport Chamber of Commerce represents that whole waterfront-to-mansion-district business community.
What Newport Businesses Order Most
- Yacht clubs & marinas — precision-embroidered burgees, uniform button-downs, and premium caps for members, crews, and dockside staff. See our yacht club & regatta apparel guide and marina & dockside apparel guide.
- Hospitality & tourism — staff polos and aprons for the hotels, restaurants, and harbor tour operators along the wharves. See our hospitality & restaurant apparel guide.
- Waterfront retail — embroidered totes and apparel for the boutique shops along Thames Street and the wharves.
Screen Printing in Newport
Short answer: yes — screen printing is a regular order for Newport's waterfront bars and restaurants, yacht clubs running regatta apparel, and seasonal retailers stocking up for the summer tourist crowd.
Newport's regatta season and waterfront hospitality scene create exactly the kind of run screen printing is built for: a crew or regatta-week tee, a bar or restaurant's summer staff shirt, a boutique's seasonal graphic tee for Thames Street foot traffic. It's most at home on t-shirts and sweatshirts, and works well on certain cotton and cotton-blend polos — not every garment in the catalog, and we'll say so upfront if embroidery is actually the better fit for your fabric or design.

Pickup & Delivery
Newport is a longer drive from our East Providence shop given the trip across Aquidneck Island, so most Newport 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.
