FAQ

Questions so far

Some details are still being worked out. We’ll update this page as they’re settled.

Can I buy something today?

Not yet. There’s no checkout. Subscribing or emailing us registers interest only, and no payment is collected.

Will you ship?

We plan to, but shipping options and costs aren’t set. They depend on the selected products and delivery address, and we’ll post the details before pre-orders open.

Is local pickup an option?

We’d like to offer pickup in Stanly County. Whether that’s possible, and where, is still being finalized.

What sizes will there be?

Sizing is still being finalized. We expect adult sizes for the tee and crewneck, and the hat is planned as one size with an adjustable snapback. Tell us the sizes you need when you email. It helps us plan.

Are the prices final?

No. They’re planned prices based on typical retail for similar items, and they could change once production costs are known.

When does Drop 01 open?

We don’t have a date yet. It opens after product checks and the website checkout setup are complete. Subscribers will hear first.
