About

Veteran-owned since 1992, San Diego Outdoorsman operates as Merlin Embroidery on Parkway Drive in La Mesa, specializing in commercial-grade screen printing and computerized embroidery for businesses, teams, and organizations. The shop runs high-speed multi-head embroidery machines handling runs from 12 to 12,000 garments across blanks from Nike, Adidas, Carhartt, Columbia, New Era, and Flexfit — a production scope that parallels the custom engraving output at Village Awards & Engraving in La Mesa Village. Services span company uniforms, team jerseys, school spirit wear, club apparel, and event merchandise, with heat-press and silk-screen options alongside thread-based embroidery on the same production floor. The facility maintains sourcing relationships with Gildan, Port Authority, Hanes, Russell Athletic, Yupoong, and Dry Duck for blank garment procurement, functioning as a single-point supplier for both decoration and materials — a vertically integrated model distinct from the document-focused output at MAC Printing. Multi-head machines stitch corporate logos at thread counts calibrated for cotton twill, performance polyester, and ripstop nylon, converting client artwork into production-ready stitch files for runs spanning single samples to 12,000-unit bulk orders.
