Our Downloadable Apparel Templates

1. The T-Shirt Template


This template should have everything you need to make a retail quality mock-up for your brand. If you aren’t aware of how to use Adobe photoshop, I would check out this basic tutorial first. Everything you need should be in the layer’s section of the template. With the ability to edit shirt color and place a graphic directly on our model. You can create perfect images for shopify or any other webstore.

2. The Mask Template


Not all masks allow for an all over patterned print. That is why Crooked Monkey had to create their own. You will have to know how create patterns with your graphic but once you do that, our template should automatically decorate the mask if you copy your pattern in the correct layer.

3. The Hat Template


Hats are our specialty. However, the problem with hats is that they are round and graphics can easily look distorted. We have created a template that takes out some of those problems. Additionally, Crooked Monkey allows for hat customizations that simply aren’t possible anywhere else. So If you need a list of all the customization options, please send us a message.

4. The Zip Up Hoodie


Hoodie mocks are relatively straightforward and are similar to t-shirts. You can easily grab a model photo online and pop your graphic directly on the image. However, at Crooked Monkey we offer completely custom hoodies. So, on top of simply putting a graphic on a hoodie we allow for inside lining customization. That customization is the key difference in this template (you might not need it, but it is good to have).
