Tee See Tee is a Michigan-made t-shirt company that has become a symbol of local pride and creativity.
The Birth of Tee See Tee
Founded with a passion for design and a commitment to quality, Tee See Tee emerged as a labor of love from Beau Warren. With a film degree from U of M and later a graphic design degree, he eventually fell in love with screen printing. After landing in Traverse City (via Chicago), Beau and his wife eventually started their own business designing fun apparel that puts a smile on your face, breaks the ice with passerbys, and most importantly, ties in with memories you have of your hometown. Their tag line is Wear Original
