Because we're just starting, we're very considerate about our offering and budgets. We try to ensure quality in all the garments we print. We offer combed cotton shirts for our lifestyle offering both for men and women.

Our hats are lightweight, breathable nylon with a hard bill to maintain structure over extended use.

Our active and performance apparel is a 100% polyester jersey knit with moisture-wicking. This is an athletic fit and feels like a premium cotton shirt with the benefits of active apparel.

We operate on a low-stock, on-demand model, crafting each product specifically for you once you place an order. This method minimizes waste and reduces overproduction, ensuring that our production practices are thoughtful and sustainable.

While we focus on sustainability, we also take great pride in offering a rich variety of styles and designs. Creativity and variety are at the heart of what we do, ensuring that you have access to unique and carefully crafted pieces that reflect your journey and personal style.
