If legit = a lot of shirts sold, countless athletes, celebrities, and influencers wearing our gear, 3000+ 5 star reviews, thousands of dollars (and hundreds of shirts) donated to charity, and a very small team working hard to put out badass designs... then yes, we are legit af.

If legit = manufactured in bulk in China and sold millions, then no, we are not legit.

We'll give it to ya straight: Currently, we screw up about 1% of our orders (send the wrong item, print malfunction, general human-error type stuff, etc.). USPS and our shipping partners affect about another 2% (delays, strikes, wrong delivery address, etc.). So, we're currently around 97% reliable.

We give refunds/reprints when we – or our shipping partners – screw up. Our customer service team is best in the industry, largely because we pay for our DT customer service gang to be awake around the clock and get you a response at all sorts of crazy hours. They're also the best because they're just really nice people.

Dead Threads is your solution to apparel that isn't boring. Stuff that stands out, gets complements, and looks badass. After years of painstaking R&D, we found that hand-drawn skeletons is an amazing way to achieve this. Try it out and see if you don't get compliments (you will).

We are based in the great state of Michigan but typically print and ship our gear out of Texas or California.

Is it busy season? If it's busy season (November-December), here in the USA, you're looking at 6-8 biz days from order → doorstep. Non-busy season, we're closer to 5-6 biz days. If you're in Canada or International, we say to expect up to 30 biz days. Remember: These are business days – we try not to work too hard on weekends.

We hand-draw our own skeleton designs – I'm ashamed of the products I see people selling on TikTok Shop and Amazon. Like, pure AI slop. It's rough.

We're a tiny team – Corporations of 50+ people slinging copy/paste merch? Not DT. There's like, 6 of us. And heck I barely even do anything.

We charge our most affordable pricing possible – Skeleton shirts for $100+? Yeah, that's a real thing. We can't justify that pricing. We'd love to charge less, but our costs as a small business are much higher than bigger brands.

We're constantly adding new designs – Other brands seem to settle in with their usual selection. We found that people can't get enough of our skeletons, so we've gone on to make some crazy designs. Follow us on IG and subscribe to our emails if you wanna see why you will never see a skeleton shirt the same way after us.

Usually not. Each drop is limited edition, and once it sells out, it's gone. Occasionally, we'll re-release popular designs, but we keep restocks rare to protect exclusivity.

You can shop the full range exclusively on our official site deadthreadsapparel.com – the only verified source for our designs.

Dead Threads is an independent label created by a small US-based team passionate about design, culture, and originality.
