This custom best man photo shirt prints BEST above an old childhood photo of you two and MAN below it, both in tall white letters, so everyone at the bachelor party knows exactly how far back this friendship goes.
It comes as a personalized vintage photo tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie.
What the best man photo shirt looks like
The sample photo shows two little boys in striped tees with their arms around each other’s necks, both missing front teeth, standing on a street with houses and a parked car behind them. If you’ve got a picture like that, you’re done.
A school photo, a little league snapshot or a Halloween costume shot all work too. We clean it up and print it black and white, and the finished shirt reads like a retro 90s shirt pulled from a thrift store bin, which is the whole point.
Order steps
- Choose tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie and his size.
- Pick a shirt color behind the white headline.
- Upload the childhood photo. A sharp phone photo of an old print is fine, and it replaces the two sample boys.
- Say which kid is which in the text box if it matters. Example: me on the left, Tyler on the right, 1994.
Ask your best man with the photo from way back
- Best man proposals usually come down to a bottle and a card
- Old friends rarely have anything that shows how far back they go
- Bachelor party shirts are mostly jokes with no history in them
A best man is picked for the years behind him, not the speech ahead. BEST and MAN frame a black and white childhood photo of you two in tall white letters, so the question gets answered by a picture from 1998.
For kid photos, waist-up or head-and-shoulders framing in regular clothes is best. Pool and bath pictures aren’t accepted.
Who it’s for
It’s the groom, planning how to ask the guy he’s known since kindergarten to stand next to him. He has an old photo of the two of them missing the same teeth and wants that in the box instead of a cigar and a note.
Boxed up with a bottle, the shirt asks the question for you, since the photo explains why it’s him.
When your best man is also your brother, an old family snapshot fits better than any slogan.
He can buy his own bachelor party tee if the groom is slow, and nobody minds.
Next to the groom’s own shirts, it shows who goes back the furthest.
If you’ve got a little league picture or a school photo together, that’s all it takes.
As a best man present, it beats handing over another flask.

Best man shirt questions
Can I use a recent photo of us instead?
Yes. Any clear photo works, but the childhood picture is what makes people laugh.
Can his name go on the shirt?
No. The wording is BEST MAN only, and the photo is personalized.
Can the photo show us in pro team jerseys?
No. Team marks, logos, brands and characters can’t be printed, and we never print celebrities, rappers or pro athletes. Stick to photos of you and your people. A best man order with that content is canceled and refunded.
