Frequently Asked Questions
Please take a moment to read through the FAQs before purchasing. They cover sizing, printing, shipping, returns, and what to expect from our made-to-order process, so you can shop with confidence.
Printing & Product
What kind of printing do you use?
Our tees are printed using high-quality direct-to-garment (DTG) technology printed and fulfilled by our trusted production partner. This means the design is printed directly onto the fabric for a soft, vibrant finish that won’t crack or peel like vinyl transfers.
Will the print fade or wash out?
With the right care, your print will last a long time. We recommend cold washing inside out, using mild detergent, and avoiding the dryer. Heat can shorten the life of prints, so line drying is best.
What brand are the t-shirts?
Our garments are sourced through trusted production partners and may vary depending on product style and availability. We prioritise quality, comfort, and durability, with garment details listed on each product page where available.
How do I choose my size?
Each shirt has a size chart available on the product page. We recommend measuring a shirt you already love and comparing it to the chart before ordering.

Colour disclaimer
Shop Te Hā colour disclaimer
Please note that actual colours may vary slightly from what you see on your screen. This is due to differences in screen displays, fabric base colours, and the nature of direct-to-garment (DTG) printing. Colours may vary slightly due to print and screen differences. While we do our best to represent designs accurately, small variations in colour and print placement may occur. These are a natural part of the print-on-demand process and are not considered faults.
