DTG printing through Santa Monica's year
Only 6 months average a high of 70°F or more, so give long sleeves as much room as tees. February averages a high of only 66°F, so add hoodies, choosing cotton-rich ones over a 50/50 for truer DTG color. February brings about 3.3 inches of rain, so give an outdoor event that month a backup date; DTG reprints without new screens.
