What are exclusive designs?

Exclusive designs are designs that you can only get at RIPT Apparel. All Exclusive designs will reappear in our Exclusive Store starting at $25 for men’s t-shirts and women’s t-shirts.

Can I purchase from the Graveyard?

We’re sorry to say but we only have the rights to sell our designs for 36 hours. Once that time expires, there is no way to purchase the design because the rights to that artwork revert back to the artist.

There are a few exclusive designs that will pop back up in our exclusive store though, so keep an eye out.

If you are interested in purchasing a non exclusive design after the sale is over at RIPT Apparel you can always contact the artist of the design. They may be selling it elsewhere.

Do your shirts shrink?

RIPT Apparel shirts are labeled preshrunk. The tee shirts will shrink slightly when dried in a dryer.

We recommend air/hang drying all RIPT Apparel tees.

Unfortunately we do not offer returns or exchanges because of shirts that have shrunk.

Washing tips?

We recommend that shirts be washed inside-out  on cold (especially for the first wash) to avoid any harmful interaction with the inks during the washing and drying process. We also recommend hang drying your tees. They are pre-shrunk but will still shrink if dried on hot heat.
