A pre-order reserves your item before it’s produced. Once the preorder window closes, we manufacture only what was ordered—reducing waste and ensuring every piece is made specifically for you.

Most on-demand apparel (tees, hoodies, joggers) ships within 7–10 business days after the preorder window closes.
Knitwear and specialty pieces usually take 2–2½ weeks due to fabrication time.
Your estimated ship window appears on each collection page.

Preorder windows typically run two weeks before the production start date. The countdown on each collection page shows the exact closing date.

Once a preorder closes, that design enters production and isn’t guaranteed to restock.
Occasionally a few extras are listed as “Limited Re-Runs” later in the season—but preorder is the only way to lock your size.

All garments are fulfilled through Certified Print Vendors or our in-house studio in Savannah, GA, depending on the collection.
Every piece is made-to-order and inspected before shipping. Custom Orders may come from Bangladesh or China

As soon as your item ships, you’ll receive an email with tracking information.
You can also use the Order Tracking link in the site header.
