About Us
Blue Wave Apparel was founded in 2012 when Tom and Cristy returned to Texas after 10 years in Montana. When the business wasn’t quite enough to support their growing family, Tom returned to work, and Cristy ran the business. It became the perfect way for her to stay home with their kids while contributing to the family income. What started as a small side hustle became a thriving business!
Over the years, the business has been an incredible blessing, bringing their family closer together. As the kids have grown, they have helped in various aspects of the business – from packaging orders and loading boxes to making occasional deliveries. They are so grateful to be a part of the Tomball community and look forward to many more years providing custom apparel for teams, businesses, schools, and churches.
