Elvis Presley Shirts and Apparel: A Buyer's Guide
Sons of Gotham carries about 2,940 officially licensed Elvis Presley products, plus a separate Sun Records collection of 263 products covering the Memphis label where he first recorded. Every design is approved by the licensor, printed to order in Farmington Hills, Michigan, and shipped free anywhere in the United States with free returns for 30 days. Start with the Elvis Presley collection.
Each design is listed once per style and size range, so one photograph can appear as a heather tee, a regular fit tee, a women's tee, a sweatshirt and a throw pillow. The product count is therefore much higher than the number of distinct designs.
Elvis designs by era
The catalog tracks the career rather than a single image. Active product counts as of September 2026:
| Line | Products |
|---|---|
| Elvis Presley | 2,847 |
| Vegas era designs | 95 |
| Jailhouse Rock designs | 86 |
| TCB, Taking Care of Business | 44 |
| 1968 Comeback Special | 33 |
| Sun Records (separate collection) | 263 |
The three eras that shoppers actually distinguish between are the mid-1950s Sun and RCA years, the 1968 Comeback Special in the black leather suit, and the 1970s Vegas jumpsuit period. All three are represented, and the artwork is period-accurate because licensed designs cannot be altered.
Best selling Elvis designs
Ranked by revenue over the last two years:
- Up Close, a portrait, on a men's heather t-shirt.
- Glorious, on heather and regular fit tees.
- 1956 Mugshot, printed as a men's all-over heather tee.
- Early Elvis, the young Memphis-era artwork.
- Ugly Christmas Sweater, on a crewneck sweatshirt, which sells seasonally.
- Distressed King, which sells best as a baby bodysuit.
- That Look Sing and That Look Floral, 68 Stand Up, 1968, Vegas Superstar and TCB Ornate.
Portrait designs on heather fabric are the dominant combination here, which is different from the comic brands, where logos and symbols lead. If you are buying an Elvis shirt as a gift, a heather portrait tee is the pick.
Styles and fits
- Men's heather t-shirt, the best selling style for Elvis by a clear margin.
- Men's regular fit t-shirt, sizes S to 5XL.
- Men's premium slim fit, tall fit, V-neck, tank and long sleeve.

Adult t-shirts are typically in the mid to high twenties, hoodies around forty dollars. The product page always shows the current price.
Elvis home goods
Sixteen Elvis products are home goods rather than apparel, including the Big Portrait and Elvis Moves throw pillows, plus bandanas and tote bags. Home goods are made to order and take 5 to 7 business days before they ship, unlike apparel, which is processed in one business day.
Sun Records and the wider music catalog
The Sun Records collection covers the Memphis label and its roster, and is the natural companion to the early Elvis designs. If you are shopping music more broadly, the store also carries AC/DC, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Bon Jovi and The Police, among others, and the blog has a roundup of iconic band and music legend shirts.
How the shirts are made and shipped
Every shirt is printed after the order is placed, directly onto the garment, so the design will not crack or peel. Apparel is processed in 1 business day and ships free anywhere in the United States by USPS Ground Advantage, normally 4 to 6 days in transit.
There is no expedited option and no international shipping, because the licenses are limited to the United States. Returns and exchanges are free within 30 days. Full details are on the shipping and returns page.
