Start FreeFrequently Asked Questions
Should the anniversary tee be numbered?
For the major milestones (5 year, 10 year), yes. "1 of 100" adds collectible appeal and rewards longest-tenure members.
What is the minimum on an anniversary drop?
No minimum. A 50-tee small studio anniversary pays the same per-piece rate as a 300-tee citywide studio anniversary.
How fast does the order ship?
About a week from order to delivery with free US shipping included.
Can the anniversary design come back next year?
No. Each anniversary drop is tied to that specific year mark. Next year is a different drop. Limited-edition keepsake value depends on this.
