Solid Threads

Like any good t-shirt concept, there is a homonym at the heart of our "Clothing with Character" motto centered on the word "Character" that embodies both our company mission and our brand purpose. The mission of our company is to infuse authenticity and integrity into all aspects of how our business is run, from the ethically sourced, eco friendly practices we emphasize throughout our products, to the open, supportive and transparent work environment we cultivate within our tight knit team, to the prompt, proactive and personable manner we prioritize in our customer service. The purpose of our brand is to inspire people to embrace their true character and write their own story. We've come to recognize, that our true character is hidden within the ways we've grown to avoid our feelings and silence our voice. Solid Threads exists to inspire others along their unique journeys towards self-awareness, acceptance, and empowerment. Learn more at solidthreads.com/purpose.

The themes we weave through our vintage inspired t-shirt collection over 20 years in the making are sewn upon a search for acceptance, empowerment, and meaning. Our cool graphic tees take a light hearted (and sometimes winding) path towards this self evolution we seek, but the base fabric of our themes are tied to those core tenets we feel are crucial to cultivating a connected way of being. These central themes include nature (mountain tees, beach tees, animal tees), culture (art tees, movie tees, food tees, travel tees), fun (humor tees, sports tees, drinking tees, marijuana tees), community (location tees, occasion tees, collaboration tees), and mindfulness (environmentalism tees, self care tees, charity tees, activism tees). It's the contrast between light and dark threads as they converge that reveals our inherent beauty and uniqueness. Through our tees we hope to transform this seemingly incongruent patchwork of contradictions into a marvelous matrix of mutual meaning.

Our shirts are predominantly true to size, with a slightly tailored cut to provide a nice athletic fit. If you are in between sizes we generally suggest going for the larger option, as they will shrink roughly .5" in width and 1" length when dried on high. Please refer to our fitting room for exact measurements at solidthreads.com/fitting-room. Our suggestion is to measure one of your t-shirts that fits you great and select the nearest option. We offer FREE returns or exchanges on any orders that don’t fit the way you had hoped.

Our t-shirts are custom cut & sewn exclusively for Solid Threads, ethically sourced in the USA and printed in house by our tight knit team in Burlington, VT headquarters. Learn more about the specific of our shirt crafting process at solidthreads.com/pages/how-our-shirts-are-made.

Our buttery soft, vintage inspired t-shirts are printed with water-based inks, free of heavy metals, formaldehyde and Alkylphenol Ethoxylates (APE), making them non-hazardous, non-toxic and biodegradable. Unlike most screen printed shirts, with thick ink that sits on top of the shirt, our water-based inks get absorbed into the fabric leaving a soft, breathable print.

Our cool graphic tees are made of a 40 thread count combed, ringspun fabric consisting of either a 60% Cotton/40% Polyester blend or a 50% Cotton/25% Poly/25% Rayon blend for a ridiculously soft, worn-in fit & feel from the get go. We are in the process of sourcing some 100% cotton, organic cotton, recycled poly/cotton, and hemp fabrics as well.

Our original t-shirts designs are all hand crafted or art directed by our Head T-shirt Guy himself. We also collaborate with a rotating collective of celebrated artists who bring their eclectic personalities and t-shirt design talents to the wearable canvas for uniquely stylish comfort rooted in flavor & fun.

You better believe it! We created Solid Friends to celebrate and support artists through graphic t-shirt design, based on a rotating collective of curated designers who bring their unique vision to the wearable canvas.

Solid Friends are selected based on timing, aesthetic, and brand alignment, so if you are not chosen for the program at the time, not to worry, we can always custom print your design and get your artwork out there for people to admire in super soft comfort and style.
