Frequently Asked Questions
Are you Black-owned?
Yes, and thanks for asking! TheBlackest Co. is proudly Black-owned and ByBlack certified, administered by U.S. Black Chambers.
How long does shipping take?
Most orders print and ship in 2-4 business days, then take 3-8 business days to arrive. Business days are Monday to Friday, not counting holidays. Every item is made to order, which takes a little extra time, but ensures quality, reduces waste, and saves water.
How do I know what size?
Measure something you already own and love the fit of, then compare to our size chart on each product page. Our shirts generally run true to size - if you're between sizes or prefer a looser fit, sizing up is usually the way to go.
Can I use discount codes with...?
Good news - a lot of our codes do stack! We have so many running at once that the easiest way to know is to add them at checkout and see what happens. If it works, you'll see it. If not, no worries - the best deal will still always apply!
Is this made to order?
Yup - just like a birthday cake! Every item is made to order, which takes a little extra time, but ensures quality, reduces waste, and saves water.

Because each item is made to order, we're not able to accept returns or exchanges for size or color choices...or life's regrets. We don't carry inventory to swap out and we don't resell returns.
Wait!? I've seen this design somewhere else!
Probably. Our popular & original designs get stolen constantly, and if you buy it anywhere but our site, hoping to save a few bucks, you're rolling the dice on sketchy bank charges, garbage print quality, cheap threadbare garments, and sellers who may never send the item anyway - they don't even have a real print file, just a screenshot scraped off the internet. We only sell this design here, period. Every other listing is stolen artwork from shady companies cashing in on our hard work, and every dollar spent there is a dollar taken from a small Black-owned business instead of supporting one. Buy Black. Buy original.
Great fit/fabric/feel, bold crisp print, and most importantly, the message is loud and clear.
Hi Adam, thank you for your support and your feedback! Thrilled to hear it! All the best, TheBlackest Co.
I love my shirt. High quality with a meaningful message. I’ll continue to support this business.
Thank YOU for a great product! My husband opened his Father's Day gift early (because he wasn’t paying attention to my name on the package). And he was thrilled! LOL
He doesn't usually do political, but this shirt absolutely resonated with his upbringing: "Forced us to stand and recite with "Liberty and Justice for All" and now they are mad that we meant it."
Thanks for great service, quick response to my question, excellent delivery and a fabulous message that will hopefully smack a few upside the head and make them think. We can hope. Keep me on the mailing list - I foresee some future purchases...
Cindy, we're thrilled to hear your husband loved the shirt and that it resonated with him! Thank you for your kind words and support. It's folks like YOU that keep us going TheBlackest Co.
The shirt is perfect. I will wear it proudly. Thanks.
My shirt came quickly, it's exactly what I wanted, and it's of great quality. I'll order more!
It's probably just a touch smaller than some others. I was between XL and XXL, and I ordered the XL. It fits fine, but I'm more likely to wear it under an open button down than on its own. It's just a tiny bit tighter than I would choose. So if you're between sizes, my experience says to choose the larger size.
Hi Daniel, thanks so much for your positive review! It makes us happy that you're happy with the quality and service. Your sizing tip is helpful for future customers. ♡ TheBlackest Co.
Great shirt. Good fit and quality.
Great shirt, wish it came in a Tall
Hi Kyle, thanks for your feedback! We'll consider adding tall sizes in the future. Glad you like the shirt!Hi Kyle, thanks for your honest feedback! We're trying hard to find a good LT supplier for the future - the global system is a mess and we're sure you know why. Glad you like the shirt - stay tuned! Best, TheBlackest Co.
Great message in a provocative graphic on a well-made shirt!
Thank you for your thoughtful review. It's always great to hear and we really appreciate the support ♡ TheBlackest Co.
The outfit (or achievement) was a massive hit, earning high praise and a 'walking billboard' badge of honor. Of course, it also triggered a few side-eyes from people whose comfort zones are a bit too small, but haters are just part of the journey. fragile emotions about the mesaage they read and could not process it.
Mission accomplished! Love to hear it. Thank you for your support and the feedback. We couldn’t agree more and appreciate the support from folks like you! Best - TheBlackest Co.
Great quality shirt and even better message!
Great quality, better message, and the best customer service I've seen in a while. I would recommend this to anyone!
Thanks, Ryan, for your kind words and support! Makes our day knowing you enjoyed the product and our service. We appreciate your recommendation! Best, TheBlackest Co.
Solid material, comfortable, I'm wearing this to the next protest I go to.
An excellent shirt with an excellent message. My order arrived quickly and without issue, and the shirt is comfy and correct.
Good quality shirt, should last me a long time!
The shirt arrived before expected (yay!) Excellent quality shirt, printing is great! I love it!
It’s quakity material and fits well. I love the message.
Throughout my entire K-12, the Pledge of Allegiance was part of morning announcements. At some point, I stopped reciting the pledge due to the Viet Nam war. It rang hollow as I learned about the difference in the drafting of young men, based on financial standing, college attendance, ability to obtain VO status and on my own developing beliefs. I regularly abstain from saying the pledge or singing the National Anthem. Neither speaks to my beliefs.
Thank you for sharing your thoughtful perspective. It makes our day when folks remind us why we do what we do. All the best - TheBlackest Co.
Great quality for the price

It’s clever, with a perfect assortment of colors, and accurately calls out the political establishment’s hypocrisy.
Fast delivery. Love my shirt.

So far so good
A Genuine Black Owned Company
-
A Culture Vulture Free Zone
Look, we're all for inclusion and the diverse celebration of Black History. However, it has become increasingly common for NON Black-owned companies to sell Black Culture while also falsely claiming to be Black-owned. This practice of cultural appropriation is not only dishonest but also disrespectful to the Black community. By profiting off of Black culture without actually supporting or empowering Black-owned businesses, these companies perpetuate systemic inequality and contribute to the erasure of Black voices and perspectives. It is important for consumers to do their research and support authentic Black-owned businesses that prioritize social justice, equity, and circulation of the Black dollar; rather than those that simply capitalize on the latest cultural trends.
