SepiaLore FAQ: Fit, Care and Orders
Practical answers about SepiaLore shirts, artwork and order support. For a question not covered here, use the contact form.
What kind of shirts does SepiaLore use?
SepiaLore designs are printed on heavyweight, garment-dyed unisex T-shirts made from ring-spun cotton. The soft-washed finish gives the fabric a relaxed, vintage-style character while the heavier weight helps the shirt hold its shape.
How do the shirts fit?
The shirts have a relaxed unisex fit with a classic crew neck. Choose your usual size for an easy fit. If you prefer a closer or more oversized look, compare the available size choices on the individual product page before ordering. Available sizes can differ slightly between designs and colors.
Are these authentic vintage shirts?
No. They are new, garment-dyed shirts with vintage-hearted artwork and a lived-in visual character. “Vintage-style” describes the mood, palette and archive-inspired design—not the age of the garment.
How should I care for my shirt?
Machine wash cold at a maximum of 30°C / 90°F. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat. Iron, steam or dry on low heat, and do not dry clean. Washing inside out can also help reduce abrasion against the printed surface.
Where can I read the story behind a design?
Every product description explains the scene and idea behind its artwork. Longer essays and style guides appear in the SepiaLore Journal. The homepage also opens each archive story in full.
Which currency does the store use?
Prices are displayed and charged in US dollars (USD). Your bank or payment provider may apply its own currency conversion or international transaction fee.
How do I see shipping options?
Add your chosen size and color to the cart and continue to checkout. Available shipping methods, destinations and charges are shown before payment, based on the delivery address and the options available for that order.
What if I need help with an order?
Use the contact form and include the email address used at checkout and your order number, if available. If your question concerns an item that arrived damaged or misprinted, include clear photographs so the issue can be understood accurately.
Why can colors look slightly different on screen?
Displays reproduce color differently, and garment dye can have natural tonal variation. Product images are intended to show the overall shade and artwork; small differences are part of the soft-washed character of the garment.
