  • Delays: Large orders, items on backorder, distressed styles, vintage charcoal styles, or sales periods may require longer processing times.

Shipping Charges:

  • Automatic Calculation: Shipping costs are calculated based on the size and weight of your order.
  • Handling Fee: Shipping charges include a 10% handling fee to cover packaging and labor costs.

Shipping Speeds:

  • Estimates Provided by Carriers: Shipping speeds displayed at checkout are estimated by the carrier (e.g., UPS, USPS) and do not account for processing times or stock availability.

  • Inspection Requirement: Customers must inspect orders within 3 days of delivery and before printing, washing, dyeing, relabeling, or decorating.
  • Liability: We are not liable for printing or embellishing costs, nor will we replace missing blanks if shipped directly to a printer. Unfortunately, some print shops may misuse blanks as samples, and we cannot verify claims of missing items in these cases.
  • Non-Returnable Items: Blanks that have been printed, washed, dyed, relabeled, or decorated are non-returnable.

Customer Responsibility:

  • Accurate Information: Ensure all shipping details (recipient’s name, address, phone number, and email) are accurate when placing your order.
  • Undeliverable Packages:
    • Return Fees: Customers must cover fees for returned packages due to incorrect or incomplete information.

Abandoned Packages:

  • If return or re-shipping fees are not paid by the customer, the order will be considered abandoned, and no refund will be issued.

Learn more about what we do finishing and applications

Garment Dye

Pigment Dye
Surface-level color for a vintage, washed look. Fades uniquely over time with wear.

Reactive Dye
Bonds chemically with the fiber—rich color, long-lasting, and wash-fast.

Cold Dye Pigment
Low-temperature dyeing for subtle tonal variation and lived-in character.

Mould Wash / Enzyme Finish
Creates natural aging effects with texture and patina, mimicking timeworn softness.

Tie Dye
Classic resist-dyeing—each piece hand-treated for organic, non-repetitive patterns.

Distressing & Holes
Intentional abrasions and openings for a raw, deconstructed look. No two are the same.

Garment Wash & Finishing Treatments

Stone Wash
Creates a soft, worn-in texture with visible fading and surface irregularities.

Fade Out Wash
Subtle desaturation for a sun-bleached, vintage aesthetic.

Dry Wash
Minimal water use; maintains structure while softening surface touch.

Normal Wash
Basic pre-wash to reduce shrinkage and enhance wearability.

Sand Wash
Adds a suede-like feel and muted finish with soft drape.

Enzyme Wash
Uses natural enzymes to break down fibers, resulting in a cleaner, softer look with light fading.

Silicone Wash
Applies a soft, silky finish that enhances elasticity and comfort.

Crinkle Wash
Creates permanent wrinkles and irregular textures for a relaxed, lived-in appearance.

Spray Dye / Spray Wash
Localized pigment application for gradient effects, shadowing, or contrast zones.

Finish

Salt / Sand Wash

A physical abrasion process where garments are tumbled with fine salt or sand particles under controlled heat. This creates a naturally faded, slightly distressed surface and softens the fabric hand feel.

Often used for vintage-inspired textures, the result is a uniquely worn-in look with subtle variation—no two pieces are exactly the same.

Finish

Snowflake Wash / Acid Wash

A high-impact finishing technique where garments are tumbled with acidic agents (like mild bleach) to create irregular, snowflake-like fading patterns.

The process breaks down surface dyes unevenly, resulting in a raw, vintage texture with strong visual depth. Ideal for distressed or retro-inspired styles, each piece carries a one-of-a-kind surface story—no duplicates, just character.

Finish

Monkey Wash /Localized Fade Spray

A localized fading treatment that mimics natural wear patterns, especially on high-friction areas like the thighs, knees, and seat.

Often used on denim and twill, Monkey Wash creates a pre-worn, dimensional look by spraying or hand-applying bleach or abrasive agents in targeted zones.

The result is a lived-in, broken-in aesthetic that adds authenticity and texture to each garment.

FINISh

Stone Wash /Rock Wash

A classic physical finishing method where garments are washed with pumice stones to create a worn-in, vintage appearance.
The abrasion during tumbling softens the fabric, fades the color slightly, and produces a naturally distressed texture.

Stone wash enhances the visual depth and hand feel of garments—no two pieces are exactly alike due to the organic nature of the process.

finish

Grinding Stone /Sanding Process

A surface abrasion technique where garments are rubbed against pumice stones, sanding blocks, or abrasive tools to create localized fading, soft textures, and a distressed aesthetic.Unlike stone washing (which is done in bulk with water), this method is often applied by hand to target areas like knees, hems, or pockets—giving each piece a unique worn-in character.

Perfect for denim, heavyweight cotton, and streetwear-inspired styles.

finish

Garment Dye

A method where fully constructed garments are dyed as a whole, allowing the color to absorb unevenly across seams, threads, and fabric densities. This creates a rich, lived-in look with subtle tonal variation and enhanced softness. Garment-dyed pieces feel personal, broken-in, and timeless from day one.

finish

Spray Dye

A surface dyeing technique where pigment is sprayed directly onto finished garments, creating unique gradients, fade zones, or artistic patterns. The results are highly individual and expressive—ideal for statement pieces with a handcrafted edge.

finish

Enzyme Wash

A sustainable garment finishing process that uses natural enzymes (typically cellulase) to break down fiber surface fuzz and impurities. This results in a softer hand feel, smoother surface, and a subtly faded appearance.

Enzyme wash is gentler than traditional stone wash and reduces fabric damage, making it ideal for modern basics and elevated casual wear. It offers a clean, vintage look while keeping the garment wearable and durable.

finish

Reverse Burnout / Contrast-Fade Finish

A unique aging technique where the garment’s interior or reverse side is treated with controlled heat, abrasion, or pigment to create burnt tones, uneven discoloration, or heat-faded effects.Often paired with pigment spray, enzyme washes, or sand treatments, this method enhances the garment’s character—evoking a sense of wear, time, and movement.

The result is a visually striking contrast between inside and outside layers, ideal for streetwear, distressed, or experimental collections.

finish

Hand-Painted Garments

A truly artisanal process where designs are painted directly onto fabric or finished garments by hand, creating expressive, one-of-a-kind pieces.No printing, no mass reproduction—just raw brushwork, spontaneity, and emotion.

Whether through bold strokes, delicate linework, or layered textures, hand-painted pieces reflect the maker’s touch and transform everyday basics into wearable art.
