How to Measure Your Head for This Cap:

Use a non-stretch measuring tape. Start at the middle of your forehead, then wrap the tape around the back of your head so it sits about 1 inch above your ears. Bring it back to the starting point. Pinch where the ends meet, take the tape off, and check your measurement. Try to be as accurate as possible.

The Incredible History!

The year 1619 holds immense significance in understanding the African American experience in the United States. While not the absolute beginning of African presence, it marked a critical turning point. In August of that year, a ship arrived in Virginia carrying enslaved Africans, the first documented instance of such a transfer in British North America. This event went beyond mere numbers; it symbolized the brutal shift towards systematic, race-based slavery, a dark chapter that would define the lives of countless Black individuals for centuries to come.

Prior to 1619, the status and treatment of Africans varied in the colonies. However, this date marks a stark change where their lives became explicitly defined by chattel slavery, impacting them and their descendants significantly. This system directly led to the development of racial hierarchies, segregation, and discrimination that continue to shape the experiences of African American communities today.

Understanding 1619 is crucial not only for its historical significance but also for prompting critical conversations about reparations, reconciliation, and building a more just future. It allows for a deeper appreciation of the resilience and ongoing contributions of African Americans to American society. While acknowledging earlier African presence is important, 1619 remains a powerful symbol of the beginning of chattel slavery and its lasting legacy. It serves as a reminder of the past, urging us to confront its consequences and work towards a more equitable future.

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.

Do you accept returns or exchanges?

Because each item is made to order, we're not able to accept returns or exchanges for things like your color or size choices. We don't carry inventory to swap out and we don't resell returns.

However, if your order arrives misprinted, damaged or wrong, we'll replace it free. Contact us within 30 days of delivery with your order number, and we'll tell you exactly what we need to get it fixed fast.

How do I know what size to order?

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 a discount code with a sale item?

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!

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.

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.
