All our tops are preloved vintage and we hand pull screen print stuff we like on them, trying to be as sustainable as possible. Simple as that.
We think the quality of our tops are great. We personally hand pick them and select lots of lovely vintage Fruit of the Loom, Russell Athletic, Lee etc and lots of cool raglan style. We give them an inspection but because they are vintage and have enjoyed a fun and action packed previous life they might have signs of wear and tear including bobbles, some small marks or tiny holes but hey thats vintage for you isn't it.
Some questions you might have?
How do I work out my size?
All our tops are vintage so the label in the top might not reflect todays sizing. We take 3 measurements in inches (pit to pit, shoulder to bottom of hem and edge of collar to end of cuff). Based on these measurements we then designate each top a size. For each top on the site we include these measurements as p2p, s2h and c2c.
All our tops are different so we always recommend that if unsure you take 2 minutes to measure a top that fits you nicely, take the three measurements and compare against ours.
Why is there a mark on my top?
Our tops have had a previous life galavanting around town and probably show signs of this. We do check our tops and give them an inspection and anything we feel is significant to devalue the top we identify and include in the detail (with pictures) so you can make a call. We also reduce the price. If you buy a top that has a mark that has not been described it's because it is the wear and tear you would expect from vintage stock.
How do you print?
I hand pull screen print. It's all very DIY and low tech. Just a mesh screen, some tape, some eco water based ink and two hands.
Because they are hand printed there might be some small misprints but that's because I'm not a robot. Anything major we identify and sell at a reduced price.
Why don't you have my size or colour?
Because we only print on preloved vintage, the stock of tops is what we can get our hands on which means we might not have a full size range or a printed top in your preferred colour. Sorry about that but it's just the way it is - we don't do new.
How do I keep my top jazzy fresh?
All our printed tops have been heat sealed and then washed so they arrive with you smelling lovely and fresh. To protect the ink and keep the print looking supa-dupa please remember to wash the top inside out and on a cooler temperature such as 30 degress.
Do you do one-off commissions? Could I send you one of my tops to print on?
Sorry nope. From experience more trouble than it's worth.
Do you have a shop where I can try a top on?
We don't have a shop, but we do regular pop ups and if you are local to Hebden Bridge we could sort out a try on if you message on Insta.
Do you ship to outside the UK?
Yes but all additional domestic taxes are the responsibilty of the buyer. Before making an order please make sure you are aware of all additional costs to receive the item.
