FAQ

 

How are your shirts made TOP

All of our clothing is handrawn individually with melted wax. First we draw  our own unique design  onto the shirt using a copper tool called a Tjanting. Then we paint inside the design. After the paint dry's we cover the design with wax inside and out. We move the waxed image a bit to  create where we want the crackle effect. Next we add the shirt to a dye bath. Once the garments been dyed we boil out all the wax. This process not only takes out the dye but it also sets the dye. Once all the wax is out the garment is washed and hung dry.

Will your shirts shrink? TOP
Our shirts come Pre-Shrunk but during the boiling process the shirts undergo extreme heat and tend to shrink just a little. I would order a size up on all the American Apparel styles.

How long will it take to make my shirt? TOP

In Stock items are shipped out in 2-4 days.Special Orders will take 2-4 weeks to make and ship out.Outside the U.S. 3-5 weeks.
If you have any other questions please feel free to e-mail us at jonah6@msn.com.

What makes your clothing so unique? TOP
All of our Batiks are handrawn individually by my husband and I using our own unique designs. We both draw each design on the shirts by hand. After that we paint each one. When we paint we are always coming up with new ways to color the design and add more shading with the colors. This makes each one so unique. You'll find that no two shirts are ever the same.

Will the shirt bleed or fade? TOP

All of the Batiks are put in boiling water to set the dye and also to rinse out any excess dye left in it. After that I wash and dry the shirt. They shouldn't bleed after that. I recommend  washing yur shirt the first time with like colors or by itself. I too love to wear Batiks so I keep a few I like. I've never had a problem wth them bleeding on any other pieces of clothing.

We use Fiber Reactive dyes which soak into the fiber of the shirt immediatly helping the shirt to retain such a bold color. Of course like any tie-dye, over a period of time it will fade just a little bit. To make your image have a longer life you'll want to wash in cold water and hang dry. Otherwise if you want to dry the garment I suggest drying it on Low.
