Screen printing through Santa Monica's year
The warmest month, August, averages a high of just 77°F, so a heavyweight tee is comfortable year-round, and the blank can be chosen for fit and hand rather than heat. Winter nights stay mild, with December lows averaging 48°F, so a lightweight crewneck or zip hoodie covers evenings, and the fleece order can stay small. Average highs reach 70°F or more only from June to November, so a long-sleeve tee is worth printing alongside the short-sleeve run for the rest of the year. With only about 13 inches of rain a year, outdoor events seldom get rained out, so the print calendar can follow the temperature rather than the rain.

Screen Printing in Santa Monica
Should a screen print order in Santa Monica go on tees or hoodies?
Tees, with long sleeves close behind. Summer stays mild in Santa Monica and winter afternoons stay at 65°F or above, so a long-sleeve tee or a light crewneck gets more wear than a hoodie. With an under-18 share well below the US figure, adult sizes will cover most runs, so one print size per garment usually works from small to XL.
