SHIPPING & DELIVERY
Made-to-order, not pulled from a warehouse
Every shirt is printed after you order. That means we're not sitting on piles of stock no one wants — but it does add a few days before your order ships.
Production: 2–5 business days
US shipping: 3–5 business days after production
Rest of World: 1–4 weeks after production, depending on location and customs
Total: usually about a week to ten days for US. International varies — closer to 2 weeks for most countries, longer for harder-to-reach destinations.
Tracking: every order. You'll get a tracking number by email when your shirt ships.
Free shipping on US orders over $75 and ROW orders over $100.
If something goes sideways — a delay, a lost parcel, anything weird — email support@aperturethreads.com. I'll sort it.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

The Shirt Behind the Design.
Every design lands on a tee that's been chosen as carefully as the design itself. Two weights, both proper.
The lightweight is 4.5oz ring-spun cotton — soft, breathable, holds the print sharp. Built for warmer conditions, layering, or just everyday wear that doesn't feel heavy.
The heavyweight is 6.1oz garment-dyed Comfort Colors — substantial weight, lived-in feel from the first wear. Softer faded black, more texture, the kind of tee you reach for again and again.
Printed in the USA. No mystery polyester blends. No cheap blanks that fall apart after three washes. Just shirts that earn their spot in the rotation.
