What Tariffs Mean for Us

"Tariffs are the taxes that punish you for buying what you need." — Anonymous importer

That quote hits hard—and it’s never felt more relevant.
Over the past few months, the world of global trade has been shifting beneath our feet. One of the most immediate and frustrating changes? Tariffs. Specifically, the elimination of the de minimis rule, which allowed small shipments under $800 to enter the U.S. tariff-free. That rule is gone now. And with it, a whole layer of affordability for businesses like ours.
We’re in the custom apparel industry, where margins are already razor-thin. Every cent counts. Every increase in cost—whether in fabric, shipping, or now, import taxes—has a ripple effect. And while tariffs might sound like an abstract policy shift, their impact is deeply real. They’ve made it more expensive to produce and deliver the gear our clients rely on.
So here’s the bottom line: prices are going up. Not because we want them to, but because we have to. And we want to be transparent about why.

Looking Ahead: Hope for Tariff Relief

Tariff changes, especially the removal of the de minimis rule, have added serious pressure to an already tight-margin industry. These aren't just abstract policy shifts—they directly affect how we price, produce, and deliver the custom gear you count on.
We’re adjusting our prices, but only as much as necessary to stay sustainable. Our commitment remains the same: to provide high-quality, custom team apparel that’s as accessible and fairly priced as possible. If the tariff landscape improves, so will our pricing. We're in this for the long haul, and we’ll continue to be transparent with you every step of the way.
Thanks for sticking with us—we’ve got your back, even when the headwinds hit hard.
