Since our products are made to order, we do not accept returns or exchanges for size or preference. However, if your item arrives damaged or incorrect, we’ll replace it at no cost. Just contact us within 30 days with a photo of the issue.

How long will my order take to arrive?

Each item is made on demand and typically ships within 2–5 business days. Shipping times vary by location:

  • USA/Europe: 3-7 Business days
  • Australia/NZ: 2-7 Business days

What’s the fit like?

Our shirts generally offer a regular fit and are true to size. For an oversized or looser look, consider sizing up. Please refer to the size guide for detailed measurements.

Will the print fade or crack over time?

We use high-quality direct-to-garment (DTG) printing. With proper care—washing inside out with cold water and hang drying—your design will maintain its quality over time.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, we ship worldwide. Delivery times and shipping rates vary based on location and will be calculated at checkout. Please note that we do not ship to certain countries due to legal restrictions or shipping carrier limitations.

We make each item to order — just for you.

That means less waste and no warehouses full of unsold stuff. It also means shipping might take a little longer — but we think it's worth the wait.

We’re a small, growing brand working on better fits, new drops, and refining every step. Your feedback helps shape what comes next — so don’t be shy.

Made for me

This felt like it was made just for me 😆. Love the subtlety of the message but it comes off so well. Good quality cap too.

Just My Vibe!

Love a good rope cap and this didn't disappoint. Premium feeling material, keeps its shape and does the job when I'm manning the BBQ!
