how it works.

/ small-batch

printed in brooklyn in runs of 50-200. once it's gone i may or may not reprint — depends on the piece + the year.

/ ships from brooklyn

orders go out within 3 business days. tracked usps for US. international ships from brooklyn too — slower but real.

/ if it doesn't fit

14-day return window. send it back unworn with the tag and i'll refund. if it fits weirdly let me know — the size charts are honest but vintage-inspired runs differently.
