About Us

OSS Apparel is more than just a print shop — it’s a story of hustle, heart, and hometown pride.

Founded in 2015 by Mike Almeida, OSS began as a side hustle powered by a love for entrepreneurship, hands-on creativity, and a relentless drive to build something from the ground up. What started with one heat press in a basement has grown into a full-service custom apparel shop proudly operating out of East Providence, Rhode Island.

Over the past decade, Mike and his team have built OSS Apparel into a trusted name known for dependable quality, fast turnarounds, and word-of-mouth referrals. Mike’s blue-collar work ethic and local roots show up in everything OSS does — from late-night production runs to partnering with schools, businesses, and organizations across the region.
