When will my order ship?
Here’s how it works: you order, we process, then we ship.
Ordering takes a few seconds. Processing takes 2 to 14 business days (and orders placed after 1pm ET are processed the next business day). Because our clothing is made to order, we ask that you exercise patience as we hand sew your garments. In the event that you require your order sooner, please reach out to our team and we will provide further instructions. Once the order is processed, one of our carriers takes it from there. You’ll get a shipment notification email with a tracking number as soon as your package ships. It’s on the way!
