Review from Mike Z.
This is the place to go for screen printing and custom t-shirts. You can have pretty much any design (save for copyrighted images/logos, etc.) of your choice put onto an American Apparel t-shirt or any other article of clothing in the store in only a few moments. The process is fast, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the shop is in a convenient location.
Be sure to check this place out for custom t-shirts come NBA playoff time. The shop comes up with original, hilarious and amazing designs for shirts, usually with themes/sayings involving Orlando Magic players or their opponents. For example, when the Magic faced the Lakers in the NBA Finals a few years back, Mother Falcon made a shirt for me that had a picture of Pau Gasol on it and the saying "Geico: So easy, Pau Gasol can do it," or something like that. (You know, because he looks like one of the Geico cavemen.) It wasn't my own design, nor was it even theirs, but I saw a picture of the shirt on the shop's Facebook profile and just had to go in & get one for myself.
Haven't been in for a while due to my budget (though don't misunderstand that to mean their prices for shirts are expensive; they're not), but am aiming for a trip when the playoffs begin so I can get a themed shirt or two. If you can't wait that long, then bring in some of your own images and they'll put them on some shirts for you. Ask for John and/or Melissa - they're the friendly owners. Have fun! -
Review from Jessica V.

I had the pleasure to shop at Mother Falcon through a Groupon deal and I'm so happy I did! The staff is very friendly, informative and patient. I'm a very indecisive shopper and especially in a case where you can create your own design to print on T shirts, hoodies, whatever it maybe, you can see where that would be a problem. The man helping me though never became frustrated or anything, but just helped me make the perfect design. My hoodie was available for pick up the next day and I was so very happy with the finished product!
Much thanks and definitely check this place out if you're in the mood to make something unique and creative. -
Review from Val T.

Purchased Groupons as a family creative day outing / birthday gift for my son. It did not go well at all.
We attempted to redeem our Groupons on 12/28/11. They were closed. It is a 2 hour drive ONE way to Mother Falcon. The only holiday hours posted on their website were for Christmas week. Nothing indicated they would be closed before the New Year. Granted, I should have, could have called and saved myself a trip. I'll chalk that one up to my bad....
However, the bad experience didn't stop there, it was just beginning.....
We arrived on 1/7/12 a Saturday at 4:30pm. We called ahead of time to make sure they were open. My girlfriend advised them that we were 2 hours away and wanted to make sure we had enough time to make our shirts. At NO point were we told we would not have enough time. Person on the phone was very dry and short. She was also that way in person.
I had picked out a design of a local artist. You can have the month's featured artist's work printed and redeemable for the Groupon. Anything displayed in the store was the featured artist(s). I found a neat painting propped up against the wall where other art was displayed. I was promptly told that was last month's feature and would not be able to have it printed. Why the hell is it still displayed in the store??
My girlfriend had a picture that she wanted printed. For whatever reason they do not have the ability to scan pictures?? Fine, they warn you that they can't scan on their website. But it's more like they can't be bothered. She "attempted" to search the picture on the internet and claimed she couldn't find it. We had the artist's name and name of the magazine available for her !! I googled it at home while writing this review and received 27,000 results in 0.18 seconds, the picture in question is THE FIRST one to pop up. So much for their "Design Assistance"...
We were then told it takes 45 minutes to print 1 shirt and they would not be able to print all 3. We would have to pick up tomorrow. Totally not feasible with such a long drive ahead of us. We weren't told this over the phone. In addition, their website advertises shirts printed in as little as 20 minutes !
I was able to get at least my son's shirt done since it was his birthday gift.
We were rushed to get his design put together and were told they would text us when the shirt was ready. We arrived back at the store at about 5:45pm, his shirt had not been printed yet. As we waited 2 shirts were printed !! There was no one in store waiting on those shirts. Someone came in to pick up but they did not pick up either of the shirts that had just been printed. In 10 minutes..literally 10 minutes as we were standing there, my son's shirt was printed. We weren't given any care instructions. My girlfriend overheard when the other young lady picked up her shirt , that you should wait 24 hours before wearing / washing it.
I guess my little family was not "hip" or "cool" enough for the Mother Falcon staff to be bothered with us. The store lies in a more artistic neighborhood of Orlando, dotted with bars and outdoor seating cafes. Mother Falcon itself has a bar right next door to the shirt store. So I guess they must be used to or prefer to cater to
that kind of crowd.
What a shame, it seemed like such a cool creative outlet.
I requested a refund from Groupon for the remaining 2 Groupons that I most assuredly WILL NOT be redeeming.
Fail Mother Falcon ... your lack of interest in trying to work with us was pretty shitty indeed.Comment from melissa s. of Mother Falcon 1/8/2012
Thank you for the feedback. FYI, we close every year the… More » -
Review from Rhea P.
Terrific spot to display your creativity on apparel. It seems like a fun place to go with friends, and apparently a great place to get team shirts as well.
A small and unique jewelry collection along with Saucony footwear can also be found here. -

Love Mother Falcon staff and their work! I have seen the shirts they have done for friends with whatever ideas their brains created, but I needed shirts made for my team at work. I thought, they are fast, I need a quick turnaround, and they do good quality work. So the decision was made, went with Mother Falcon.
Took less than 24 hours to place a big order, get proof, have them made, and then picked up.
I just need to find that next creative idea for a shirt. If you have it I will buy you and I shirt with the idea :) Def recommend this place for shirts! -

I really love Mother Falcon and their crew! This is my go-to spot for unique Magic shirts. I love that they aren't your typical cookie cutter fan shirts - OR I can design my own!
The staff is always friendly, too! And I love that they sell other accessories - shoes, watches, jewelry, art... really cool stuff!
Their selection of shirts is great - I love the super soft jersey shirts. Or you can bring in your own!
LOVE!Listed in: Random Miscellaneousness

Review from Dave T.
What!? I forgot to review you.
Excellent concept. Ready made shirts in just a few minutes.
What ever you want printed on clothing provided by the store. Wide selection of clothing to choose from as well as prefab designs if you cannot bring in your own. I have had shirts made for me for halloween, personal wear, as well as personalized gifts.
Next I will look into my own personal team gear (just can't used trademarked logos).
They also carry trendy watches, sneakers, and other accessories. They also mentioned that they do large orders too.
Did I mention the location? They truly picked the best spot for this kind of business.
Say hi to the owners for me.

Review from Andrew C.

This is the place for custom designs and graphics for screen printing onto t-shirts. You can easily print onto their vast supply of American Apparel clothing or bring in your own item of clothing for them to print on. I ended up bringing in a tank top and a V-neck t-shirt. I e-mailed them my designs that I created with their online instructions. I dropped off the two shirts and came back in no time to pick them up. The printing is flawless and it was exactly like the design I imagined. They really brought my creation to life. I will use them again and refer to anyone looking for a custom t-shirt.

Review from Elizabeth F.

I love Mother Falcon! They have fantastic designs to choose from but also let you bring in your own design (and shirt) if you choose. You should expect to spend about $25-30 depending on what shirt you get but they're usually ready within 20 minutes and they'll even send you a text to let you know it's ready so you don't have to wait around.
The staff is extremely nice and I definitely enjoyed my experience here! Will be going back soon. :) -

Ok, MAD Props to MF for comin' through in the clutch! My friends and I were participating in Relay for Life this past weekend and our team was based on our blog: http://LadyBallers.net
We needed team shirts and the company that were initially went with off of a suggestion before we were aware of MF pretty much failed at life. So, we went with MF who gave us QUALITY work in the matter of 4 days on 10 shirts. We just handed over the design, no questions asked and hit a great deadline!
We are so thankful for having such a dope, local t-shirt shop who creates great designs and also works with designs you create or want. Big ups!!!!Listed in: Thornton Park Locations, Puppy Friendly - Inside, Orlando Art Galleries

Review from Christopher O.
Winter Garden, FL
What a great place Mother Falcon is! I went there for the first time the other night for a art show opening and really had a nice time. The staff was friendly and it was super easy to see how to buy a t-shirt here. All of the art that was being show was available to have printed on a good selection of shirts. The prices were not bad either!
They do personal printing too so if you need something special, they can do it for you. The quality of the shirts as well as the printing is great. I am looking forward to visiting them again and checking out their entire collection! -
Review from Annette G.

I've only been here once, but already, I'm a big fan. I love the fact that all the shirts are American Apparel http://americanapparel...
I love the fact they have organic cotton tees for the same price as regular cotton! ($20 a pop)
I love the fact that you can have whatever you want put onto a shirt, in color or black and white!
Really... what better way is there to mark your favorite obscure pop culture reference than on a non-sweatshop made tee shirt?
If you know what you want, bring the picture, or website location so they can look it up. The screenprint is included in the cost of the shirt. Front, back, sleeve, whatever. Awesome!
Their 'official' grand opening is this Sat (Feb 14 2009). Stop by and check 'em out! It is kind of hard to see them, so take note of the graphic on this page. That's what is out front of the store (versus the name, Mother Falcon) (which is kind of strange, but whatever).
Note: Close on Mondays! -
Review from Elisabeth Z.
Dallas, TX
I should probably feel bad for living in Dallas, but getting my shirts made in Orlando, but I don't. This place is the best, and I am so jealous of my best friend who lives in Orlando and gets shirts from them all the time. They can do just about anything to a t-shirt, have a great selection of things for inspiration and its just a fun place to hang out. I can't wait for our next "theme shirt" need, just so Sarah can go and get them to work their magic.

Review from Jeff O.
Another new shop has opened in the bustling Thornton Park neighborhood!
Mother Falcon Clothing is a small, one-of-a-kind clothing shop that can offer something no other place around does: Custom-designed clothing on the spot!!
Here's the idea. Design articles of clothing according to your own tastes. The store itself provides thousands of graphic ideas that you can choose from, to be printed on an American Apparel t-shirt, hoodie, or other articles of clothing. The graphic can be sized however you wish, and with any color. Combine multiple graphics too. A giant skull, an ornate flower, something tribal, something in type, something abstract... whatever you can think of, really. No trademarked stuff though.
If you want to design your own image on a computer, bring it in and they can print that on a shirt. The best part is that, unlike most screen printing companies that require a minimum order (e.g. 100 shirts), you can order a single shirt! And that shirt will be finished in a matter of minutes! Prices are very reasonable too, and you can be proud that you're buying American Apparel.
In addition to printing operation, Mother Falcon also offers some of the coolest boutique watches, wallets, and urban footwear around. I understand that much of their inventory is hardly available outside of much larger metropolitan areas.
They are located between Planet Smoothie and Dexter's. Hours are 12pm-7pm. Check them out! -

We placed an order for 25 shirts on a Saturday afternoon for pickup the same day.... The outcome was amazing! The custom art work, the high quality shirts and the speed of their workmanship is totally priceless.
