Questions We Get All the Time (And Love Answering)
Q: Are your fabrics safe for sensitive skin?
A: 100%. Our inks are Oeko-Tex certified, which means they’re free from nasty chemicals and safe for both adults and kids.
Q: Do your fabrics shrink after washing?
A: Nope. Our materials are pre-treated and tested for durability. What you see is what you get — wash after wash.
Q: Do your prints crack or peel?
A: Never. Sublimation bonds the ink deep into the fabric, and our pigment prints use high-quality water-based inks that hold up.
Q: What’s the difference between sublimation and pigment printing?
A: Sublimation infuses the ink into the fibers — great for stretchy, smooth surfaces. Pigment printing lays the color on top — ideal for cottons, giving a slightly rawer, vintage vibe.
Q: Are your clothes suitable for kids?
A: Hell yes. We have kids’ T-shirts made with the same eco-conscious standards as our adult gear — bold, safe, and built to handle chaos.
Q: What if I prefer natural fibers only?
A: Go with our 100% Cotton or Organic Cotton blend lines. They’re perfect if you're into the raw, breathable feel of plant-based fabrics.
Q: Do you offer personalization?
A: We don’t personalize — we perfect. Every piece is designed to be a complete work of art, not a canvas for compromise.
Q: Are all items made in the EU?
A: Yes. With tighter regulations and higher quality standards, we proudly produce all Loud & Lethal gear in the EU. Better for you. Better for the planet.
