UPCYCLED VINTAGE / SECOND HAND DISCLAIMER
While we aren’t just a vintage reseller, we do still provide some handpicked and “curated*” pieces. BUT let's make this clear... some of these items are older than you, me, maybe even your Mom. Some are probably pushing 50 and already on AARP. The items will usually show signs of wear or slight fading due to age, but we will do our best to note anything visible such as stains, rips, bobbles, pulls, or holes. We thoroughly wash and clean all items(allthough some stains are forever) before despatch, fix seam/hems, patch holes and change buttons or snaps if we deem necessary. THEY ARE NOT BRAND NEW UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED.
If we are not the original manufacturer of the VINTAGE clothing items, we cannot guarantee the EXACT age of an item, nor can we make a promise on longevity, durability, or ability to find break lines and feed the channel. This includes but is not limited to the construction, fabric/material used, pigments, dyes, trims and adornments. In some cases this information is no longer available on ze item. Labels and tags fall off sometimes. Some of these manufacturers are no longer in business. whomp. They have no warranty! but if something happens, let us know what! we’ll evaluate and act! we’re not here to make your life more difficult. WE MAKE OUR OWN WAY T0Oo0 DIfFiCuLT ALREADY!
CARE
For vintage items(and kits in general), if you cannot carefully hand clean in the closest natural spring or nearest freshwater pond/lake (not ocean, no saltwater) we recommend to wash inside out in COLD water on a delicate setting. DON’T put it in the dryer, please air/hang dry instead.
NO FABRIC SOFTENERS OR CONDITIONER ON THE POLYESTER/SYNTHETIC MATERIALS PLEASE. I mean it’s your shit do what you want with it at the end of the day just dont blame us for running over it and then throwing it into the bonfire.
If there are any wrinkles or creases in the designs you can gently(on low) iron the back(inside of the shirt but ideally not any applied sponsor) to smooth them out. A steamer works very well also(again stay away from the applications --sponsors,#s) as we are assuming you don't have an industrial heat press in your living room to set to 250 degrees Fahrenheit for 2-3 seconds and press out wrinkles that way.
Any leather items should be stored out of direct sunlight and in relatively low humidity. Condition as needed. If you have questions, just ask!
SHIPPING
UPS/USPS - this is our standard shipping method, dont be mad at USPS i know the mailman. hes cool. Brown is too. big UPS brown. They do lose things occasionally but who doesn't? they lost a kit we sent to Canada but I lose my wallet, like once a week, so I can’t be mad. If you want to use something else, DHL or again, carrier pigeon just let us know and we'll try our best. If you're close let us know, we can slide or you can scoop.
REFUNDS / RETURNS / EXCHANGES
That being said, if you see any damage that we didn't note, mislabeled, the item got busted in transit, or maybe we sent you the wrong thing by mistake PLEASE let us know as soon as you can. We are also humans. We aren't perfect. We got mouths to feed through other time consuming means. BUT we aren't assholes over here(but almost always a BIG ASS tho). Again, if we make a mistake or something is messed up we will do our best to make it right. We try to be accountable and responsible for our actions. We may attempt to remedy situations with refunds, returns, exchanges, or any other logical action we see fit during our communication with you. Just contact us and we'll see what;s up :)

Side NOTE: HUGE(completely non sarcastic] affinity for the word “curate” - makes it sound like soooo much work was done lol, yea yea yea thousands of hours were put in browsing, searching/researching, and communicating but it’s not like we were digging holes or putting up roofs in 109 degree heat. Aint had shit better to do huh? Is curating even work? What is work? Maybe it can be in a particular context? By definition, to Curate is to carefully choose and organize right? but someone else still had to make the stuff that is organized (which is why we actually want to make the things or do something with them also and not JUST flip to continue the vicious cycle of hyper capitalism), are we just another middle man getting an unfairly larger piece of the pie because we chose to blow resources on some stuff and then offer it to different people.. this doesn’t require talent, but rather the privilege & luxury to waste your time and money doing silly shit. But that’s hard work, you say? Eh, sure, whatever you say, just don’t be an entitled fuck. But riddle me this.. CAN ONE LIVE OFF A VIBE? Why are we so seriously going off on this illogical tangent? We’re not lol E(A)ND SCENE xoxoxo we love you so much if you’re reading this abstract outlet of flowing thoughts and fleeting moments, im’ drank

Actually maybe any part of Hugo Sanchez. Were we sarcastic enough? Or were we at all? Who are you? Who are we? What is this? What is life? Where am I? How did we get here? and most importantly WHY?
