Materials & testing
Why our prints outlast the shirt.
This is the quality program behind every order — the testing we ran before shirt one, and the process every garment still goes through. The full origin is on our story page.
Materials & testing
Torture-tested before we sold shirt one.
We didn’t open for business and figure it out on your gear. Before the first order ever went out, we ran our own testing program — inks, powders, films, and blanks against each other, then deliberately abusing the prints to find what fails. What you buy today is the combination that wouldn’t crack, peel, or fade.
-
Component trials
Before we sold shirt one, we tested every ink, every DTF powder, every film, and every blank we could get on the press — down to running viscosity tests on the inks. If a component didn’t perform, it never reached production.
-
Torture tests
Then we broke the rules on purpose — everything the DTF care instructions tell you never to do to a print, we did to ours. Cracking, peeling, fading: we hunted for every failure. Only the combinations that survived became our standard.
-
The 8-step press
Most shops press once and ship. Every garment here runs an eight-step pressing process tuned to its fabric — the reason our prints come out more durable and softer at the same time.
Passed testing — current lineup
- 50/50 blend tees The workhorse — soft hand, holds a DTF print flat, survives the laundry rotation.
- 100% poly performance PT and moisture duty. Pressed on a low-temp recipe so the fabric never glosses or scorches.
- Heavyweight cotton For the classic feel — pressed hot so the ink bonds deep into the weave.
- Fleece — crews & hoodies Cold-weather unit orders. Tested on the thick seams where cheap prints crack first.
