All-over print construction
Design is printed edge-to-edge using dye-sublimation / all-over print (AOP) so the artwork wraps the garment. Because each piece is cut and sewn after printing, pattern placement can vary slightly — especially at seams and sides. Photos show a representative style; choose tee, sweatshirt, or hoodie options at checkout when offered.
Fit & sizing
Use the size chart in the listing images before ordering. AOP styles often have a regular unisex fit; if you prefer a looser look, size up. Youth or plus sizes follow the chart for that specific blank.
