Overview
Top Notch Monogramming is a custom embroidery and screen printing shop in the Village of Pittsford, NY, founded in 1992 by Antonio (Tony) D'Aiuto. With over three decades of operation serving the greater Rochester area, the business handles custom apparel decoration for individuals, sports teams, schools, and corporate clients. The shop originally opened on Schoen Place before relocating to 50 State Street at Northfield Common, and has since returned to Schoen Place along the Erie Canal.
What They Offer
Top Notch Monogramming provides a range of garment customization services, including:
- Custom embroidery and monogramming
- Screen printing
- Heat transfers and photo transfers
- Tackle twill lettering for a varsity-jacket style look
- Personalized names and numbers for team jerseys
The shop decorates shirts, sweatshirts, caps, jackets, sports gear, bags, and towels. They carry a large in-store inventory of pre-printed and blank T-shirts available for customization. There is no minimum order requirement, making the shop accessible for single-item personalized gifts as well as bulk team or corporate orders. Notable institutional clients have included area colleges such as Nazareth, St. John Fisher, and RIT, along with local high schools and businesses like Paychex.
Known For
Top Notch Monogramming is known for its direct owner involvement — Tony D'Aiuto personally handles projects from order through pickup. The no-minimum policy sets it apart from larger commercial printers, allowing customers to order a single embroidered item without meeting a bulk threshold. The shop has maintained relationships with Pittsford-area schools and Rochester-area sports organizations for over 30 years.
Location & Neighborhood
The shop is situated in the Village of Pittsford along Schoen Place, a stretch of converted 19th-century canal warehouses that now house independent shops and restaurants beside the Erie Canal towpath. The village center — with its walkable Main Street, canal-side paths, and local dining — is steps away. Street parking is available along Schoen Place, and the Erie Canal trail provides pedestrian and bike access. The shop is open Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
