CLEANING & CARE

Apparel: Please see care instructions on inner neck label.

Shirts: In general, we recommend that you machine wash our apparel inside out, on cold with like colors. Tumble dry low, no ironing and no bleach. In addition, please note that the 100% cotton shirts can shrink about 5 to 10%.

Sweatshirts and Hoodies: We recommend that you wash our sweatshirts inside out. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and like colors. Tumble dry low, no iron and no bleach.

Embroidered Sweatshirts and Hoodies: You will notice a thin, paper-like sheet placed on the inside and embroidered along with the design. This backing acts as a stabilizer and ensures that the designs look good and last a long time. We recommend that you wash our sweatshirts inside out. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and like colors. Tumble dry low, no iron and no bleach. Do not wring out the sweatshirt or hoodie or wash with zippers or metal objects.

Mugs: Dishwasher and microwave safe.

Why does my shirt have a vinegar smell?
When unpacking a new shirt or hoodie with a direct-to-garment (DTG) print, you might notice a vinegar-like smell or an off-white residue. Don't worry, that's not unusual - it's from a fixation agent applied during the printing process and it's not permanent.
Fixation agent (sometimes known as pre-treatment) is used for all DTG prints across the industry. It helps the ink bond with the fabric, and without it, the ink would flake off the garment.The solution is simply to wash the garment! Neither the residue nor the smell is permanent and both should go away after one wash.

Our offices and warehouse are closed Friday, March 29th, 2024.

How Does Your Apparel Fit?

Our shirts are super soft and treated to feel like they came from a different era. We use a variety of techniques to achieve this vintage look and feel. As a result, each of our shirts is unique with slight variations in color, distress and level of fading; wearing and washing continues this process.

To ensure the best fit for you, be sure to refer to the fabric blend and size chart on each product page while browsing particular styles and follow garment care instructions.

*Both of our Women's (crew, scoop, v-neck) and Men's/Unisex crew neck shirts are form-fitted. That said, most of our customers find that our men's / unisex shirts are generally true to men's standard sizing, and our women's line runs on the small side. Please note that we use various manufacturers for all of our shirts. Our women's and men's t-shirts vary in size from one style to the next. While one shirt in a large may fit perfectly, another in the same size may fit a bit differently. We include all information the manufacturer provides, such as fabric composition, general sizing recommendations, and the sizing chart in the details section of the individual product page. We always recommend that customers measure themselves against the individual size chart to help you make the best decision for your fit.

Do you offer relaxed fit tees?

We offer women's relaxed fit tees here.

How Can I Be Notified When The Size I Want Is Back In Stock?

If the size you want is out of stock, you can be notified by email when it is back in stock. Toward the center of the product page, there will be a navy blue button that reads: NOTIFY ME WHEN AVAILABLE.

Click on it and enter your email address to receive an email as soon as this item becomes available again.

Cleaning & Care

Apparel
Please see care instructions on inner neck label. In general for shirts, we recommend machine wash cold with like colors, tumble dry low, no iron and no bleach.

For sweatshirts - machine wash cold and hang to dry.

Regular Socks
Machine wash warm. Tumble dry low. No bleach.

Cozy Socks
Machine wash cold with like colors. Use only chlorine-free bleach. Tumble dry on low. Do not iron.

Boxers
Machine wash warm. Wash with similar colors. Tumble dry low. No bleach.

Totes and Pouches
We recommend customers spot clean the tote bags and pouches as they get dirty instead of washing them. Typically you don't want to machine-wash a printed canvas bag because it can damage the print and shrink the fabric.

If needed, the best way to keep it clean is to hand-wash with laundry detergent and warm water. For heavier stains, a scrub brush can be really effective, and for general grime, a terry cloth or regular wash-rag should do.

*We do not recommend washing the colored tote bags. They are made with dyed canvas and are not colorfast.*

Do Your Shirts Shrink?
100% cotton shirts can shrink about 5 to 10% in the wash.

January 31, 2023 was the last day we offered international shipping direct to consumers outside of the U.S.

On February 1, 2023, we transitioned warehouse operations to a new facility and no longer offered this option.

We will continue shipping to the 50 U.S. states, Washington, D.C., and APO/DPO/FPO addresses.

We truly appreciate your support through the years and will actively work toward a sustainable solution to provide international shipping again in the future.

In the meantime, we will maintain relationships with our international retail accounts so that our customers can still obtain a selection of products locally.

If you have a gift card, please redeem by January 31, 2023.
