Before you check out
Questions from the margins.
Still deciding? Email shelfsong@gmail.com and a real reader will answer.
Is this a women's or unisex fit?
Unisex, with a relaxed cut. Wear your usual size for an easy fit, or size down for a closer one. The size guide has exact measurements.
How is the design printed?
Each design is printed directly onto the cotton. The ink sits in the fabric rather than on top of it, so the print stays soft and flexes with the tee.
Will it shrink?
The cotton is pre-shrunk, so any shrinkage is minimal. Wash cold and tumble dry low to keep it that way.
When will my tee ship?
Within 2–3 business days. You'll get a tracking link by email as soon as it's on its way, and most orders arrive 3–5 days after that.
How much is shipping?
Free when you order 2 or more tees. A single tee ships for a flat £4 within the UK. And every 3rd tee in your bag is half price, applied automatically at checkout.
Can I return it?
Yes. Request a return within 30 days of delivery by emailing shelfsong@gmail.com. The tee should be unworn and in the condition it arrived.
Why does my colour look a little different from the photo?
Garment dyeing gives every tee a slightly different, lived-in tone. Screens vary too. That small variation is part of the vintage look.
Can I send it as a gift?
Of course. Enter their address at checkout and add a note if you like. For sizing, compare a tee they already own with our size chart.
