How to order a custom shirt when you have no idea where to start

Most people think they need a ready-made design to order custom merch. They don't.

Here's what you actually need: an idea. Even a rough one.

Start with the feeling, not the design

What should the shirt SAY? What should it feel like when someone wears it? Is it funny, sentimental, bold? That's enough to start.

You don't need to know the font. You don't need to know the colors. You definitely don't need to open Canva.

Give us the reference, not the directions

Send us a photo of something that has the vibe you want. A screenshot from TikTok. A photo of your favorite shirt. A drawing your kid made. Anything that shows the direction.

We translate from vibe to design — that's what we do.

What to include in your brief

• What text or words should be on it (if any)
• Any images or icons you have in mind
• The general feel (funny, loud, sentimental, simple)
• The shirt color if you have a preference

That's it. We'll handle the rest and send a mockup before we press anything.

Rush is available

If you need it fast, we can turn standard orders around in 2-3 days. Just note it when you reach out.
