One day in 2009 Clint Appelhanz and his touring band members decided they were going to cut out the middle man and print their own merch. Driven by the frustration of high product cost and unreliable delivery dates the choice was clear; it was time to learn to do it himself. Starting with an entry level printing press in the basement of his rental home an unlike business endeavor would begin. 

The journey would begin for Clint with guidance from expert printers (Dan Paisley, Troy Komacheet)  to obtain the skills to produce high quality t-shirt prints for local musicians and businesses.

Next he would join forces with his sister(Anna) to establish Reliant Apparel LLC. as a family business which opened its doors to the public in 2011. With steady growth and a seasoned staff Reliant Apparel LLC. has molded into a high end custom apparel business serving NE Kansas and clients throughout the continental U.S.
