What kind of shirts do you print on?
RIPT Apparel shirts are made from 100% combined ring-spun cotton. They are a very high quality, light weight, t shirt. Many think they’re softer than American Apparel tees.

How much do your shirts cost?
RIPT Apparel shirts are priced at $10

Do your shirts shrink?
RIPT Apparel shirts are labeled preshrunk. The t shirts will shrink when drying though. We recommend air/hang drying all RIPT Apparel tees.

Washing tips?
We recommend that shirts be washed inside out (especially for the first wash) to avoid any harmful interaction with the inks during the washing and drying process.

Do you have a spec sheet?
Men’s sizing spec sheet
Women’s sizing spec sheet

Will my shirt look exactly like what appears on your website?
Screen-printing our shirts is a delicate process with a lot of variables. What you see on the website is a digital approximation of what you will see on your printed shirts. We do our best to keep what’s on our site in sync with what you receive, but we cannot guarantee colors of garment or print to be exactly what you see online. That being said, there will be a reasonable range of variation between colors, size, and placement between what you see on the screen and what you see on your shirt. You won’t expect an ink print to be red and have it show up blue.

Do you make shirts for women?
Yes

Why do you only sell one shirt a day for only 24 hours?
Our one-a-day sales model is an exciting opportunity to promote discovery of new artists while also creating potential collector’s items that customers can wear with pride. There’s nothing quite like being there at the start of a great artist’s career.

What time do new shirts get posted and when do old ones expire?
At 12 Midnight CST (central standard time) the current shirt for sale expires and a new shirt becomes available.

How many can I purchase?
Customers may purchase as many sizes and quantities as they wish from RIPT Apparel. There is not a purchase limit at this time.

When do I get my shirt after purchasing?
Each RIPT Apparel order is shipped within 1-2 weeks. We use US Postal service first class mail so time of delivery is dependent on your location. Our shipments come out of the Midwest so shipments sent to the coasts and countries outside the U.S. will take the longest to reach you from our warehouse.

We do offer priority mail which will guarantee 2-day shipping for an extra fee.

Do you ship internationally?
Yes we do!

There is a problem with my order, what do I do?
Email us at support[at]riptapparel.com or head over to the contact page and fill out our online form explaining your issue(s) and we will respond as soon as possible.

How do you choose artists? How do I submit a design? How do artists get paid?
Artists and designers can submit their designs through our design submission form. If selected, the artist will be paid $1 for every shirt sold that day.

How can I pay for my shirt?
We currently accept major credit cards (Discover, Visa & Mastercard).
We also accept Paypal.

Website isn’t working, who do I contact?
Please contact us at support[at]riptapparel.com with the details and we will get right on it!

How do you handle returns and refunds?
We will only accept returns and offer refunds if the shirt is somehow damaged, torn or ripped. If this is the case, due to the extreme rarity of our product we may not be able to ship you the same shirt you ordered therefore would issue you credit towards a new shirt.

How do you differ from your competition?
RIPT Apparel sets itself apart by employing a wide array of artistic talent that much of the world (online and offline) has yet to experience and enjoy. What better way to support a new movement or artistic style than by wearing it for the whole world to see? We will always strive to be the most artist-friendly online shirt retailer available.

Do artists retain the rights to their artwork?
Yes. We do not take ownership of any rights. They always stay with the artist. *All RIPT artists agree to let RIPT use artwork for future promotional material.

How many shirts are printed per design?
Each unique RIPT Apparel shirt is printed in a different quantity dependent on the number of orders it receives. After a specifc shirt’s 24-hour lifespan, it will not be reprinted in its original form again. Ever.

Do you sell to wholesalers?
Sure. Why not?

Do you reprint shirts?
Once a shirt has out-lived its 24-hours life cycle, it finally is laid to Rest In Peace within our Shirt Graveyard. There they will rest forever, but sometimes on a full moon, strange rumblings have been heard stirring within the cemetary gates…

What sizes do you have, do you do double XL?
RIPT Apparel shirts come in Small, Medium, Large and (XL) Extra Large. We do not print double XL shirts due to the cost. One of our main goals is to make our shirts as cost friendly as possible.
