The Trades, Set in Type

The Pressroom sets the working trades in heavyweight cotton — welders, ironworkers, machinists, operators, linemen and concrete crews, printed one shirt at a time.

Nothing here is stocked in a warehouse. You pick the design, the cut and the colour; the press runs it, and it ships inside three to five business days. That is the whole operation, and it is why the catalogue can carry 50 designs without a single one sitting in a box.

How long will my order take?

Every item is printed to order, so allow 3–5 business days for production. US delivery then takes 7–15 business days; international orders take 10–30 business days.

Which styles and sizes can I choose?

Most designs come as a classic unisex tee, ladies tee, V-neck, long-sleeve or hoodie, in sizes XS upward. Measurements live on the Size Guide.

What is the fabric like?

Classic tees are ring-spun cotton; heather colours and hoodies blend in polyester for softness and warmth. Prints bond into the fabric — no vinyl layer to peel.

What if it does not fit or arrives faulty?

You have 30 days from delivery to request a return or exchange. If an item arrives damaged or wrong, we cover return shipping and replace it free. See the Refund & Returns Policy.

Do you ship outside the United States?

Yes — worldwide. Rates are calculated at checkout, starting at $9.99 for Canada, the UK and Europe. Customs duties remain the responsibility of the recipient.

Can I order for a whole crew?

We quote bulk orders from ten units up. Email the design, sizes and quantity from the Contact page and we will come back with pricing.
