Made in the Open

We do not own a press. We print on other people's blanks. This page names them, says what is true about them, and says plainly what we will not claim about them.

One page. One URL. If anyone ever asks — a customer, a regulator, us — this is the answer we point at.

The blanks we print on

Model numbers, not adjectives. You can look every one of these up and read the manufacturer's own spec sheet without asking us for permission. Flat measurements for all four are on the Size Guide.

Tees run XS–5XL at one price. Same shirt, same $36, every size.

Where it is made

Everything is made to order. Nothing is printed until someone buys it.

Printful prints and ships every order. Which of their facilities prints yours depends on where it is going — they route it, we do not. Your tracking shows where it left from.

Pride Riot is a brand of Riot Life LLC, in Phoenix, Arizona. That is an office, not a factory. We draw, we write, we answer the email. We do not sew and we do not run the press.

Free shipping to the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

What we can say about the fabric

Every number below is the manufacturer's own published spec for that blank. We are repeating it and naming who said it. We did not weigh anything ourselves.

• Hoodie — Stanley/Stella Cruiser 2.0. Stanley/Stella states 80% organic cotton, 20% recycled polyester, 350 gsm. Every hoodie on this store is the same blank at the same weight for the same $78 — black, white, grey, every size.
• Long sleeve. Cotton Heritage's stated spec for the MC1186: 6.5 oz soft-washed combed ring-spun cotton, side-seamed, ribbed collar, tear-away label.
• Tee and tank. Ring-spun cotton blanks from Bella + Canvas. We name the model rather than print a fibre percentage we have not confirmed ourselves.
• The ink. We do not know, and we are not going to guess. This store made a claim about ink chemistry on the product pages, on the homepage, on this page, on the blog and in the store's own search description for months, and it turns out nobody ever asked the printer. There is nothing from Printful on file about ink chemistry — not one line. So the claim is gone, everywhere, rather than softened. When they put the ink in writing, this bullet will say what they said and name them. Until then it says this.

We have asked Stanley/Stella for the spec sheet behind that composition and have not seen it — until we do, that line is their published claim with their name on it, not a number we have checked ourselves.

One size honest note: the India Ink Grey hoodie runs S–2XL and stops there. The mill does not cut that colour any larger. We will not quietly substitute a different garment to make the size chart look tidier. Black, White and Heather Grey all run the full S–5XL — same blank, same fabric, same price. Need bigger than 2XL? Black, White or Heather Grey, depending on the design.

The same note for the drop: the Drop No. 001 Werewolf tee, in Maroon and Autumn, runs XS–4XL and stops there. The line above — tees XS–5XL at one price — is the evergreen tee, on the same Bella + Canvas 3001 blank at the same $36. We have not been given a reason in writing for why those two colours stop at 4XL, so we are not going to invent one. Need 5XL? The evergreen tee has it.

The certification we do not claim

This is the section the page was built around, and it is a subtraction, not a boast.

Until September 2026, forty hoodie listings on this store named an organic-textile certification for the hoodie blank. Nobody here had the licence confirmation behind it. We removed it from all forty listings, from this page, and from every other customer-facing surface.

We emailed Printful asking for that confirmation in writing. That email has not been answered. Until it is, we will not name the standard, quote a certificate number, or repeat the claim in a softened form. If the paperwork arrives, this section will say what it says and name who sent it.

What we do still say is organic cotton hoodie, because 80% organic cotton is Stanley/Stella's own published composition for the Cruiser 2.0 and we attribute it to them. Fibre content stated by a manufacturer and a certification nobody has shown us are two different things, and we are not going to let one stand in for the other.

A certified input would not make a certified product in any case. Fabric is one step and printing is another, and we have nothing in writing about the printing step at all.

Words you will not find on this store

This is a standard, not an apology. We only say what we can prove, and these are the things we cannot.

• Vegan. We have not verified every ink, dye, thread and adhesive down to the ingredient. Until someone puts that in writing, the word stays off.
• Sustainable. No audit, no chain-of-custody paperwork, no third-party assessment. It is a word anyone can print for free, which is exactly why it is worth nothing.
• Ethically made and fair wages. We do not own the factory, we do not set the wages, and we have never stood on the floor. Not ours to claim.
• Zero waste. Made to order means we do not print stock nobody buys. That is a true fact about how we operate. It is not a measurement of total waste, and we will not inflate it into one.
• Any organic-textile certification. It was on forty hoodie listings until September 2026 and it is on none of them now. We asked for the licence confirmation in writing and have not had an answer. Stated fibre content is not certification.
• Anything about the ink. The newest one on the list, and the one that stung. See the fabric section above.
• Donations and charity. We do not run one. No percentage, no partner, no round-up at checkout. Nobody's cause is being used as a sales tactic here. If that ever changes it will appear on this page as a number, not as a sticker on a product photo.

Cutting these was not a retreat. Every one of them was available to us for free, and every one of them would have been unverifiable. That is the entire test.

The rules we hold ourselves to

1. Name the blank, by manufacturer and model. No vagueness.
2. Say only what the manufacturer or the printer has told us in writing.
3. If a certification covers one step and not the whole garment, say which step — and if we have not seen it, do not name it at all.
4. If we cannot source it, cut it — even when we believe it is true.
5. When we get one wrong, fix it everywhere and leave the correction visible.

Rule five is why this page exists at all. We got one wrong, on forty listings, and this is the receipt. Then we read our own page against rule two and found we had got a second one wrong, in more places than the first. That receipt is above.
