it started with a single cap.
macclesfield sheep dog trials is an annual event held in a small field between the canal and an industrial estate on the outskirts of our beloved northern hometown.
the well-loved competition has one particularly excellent piece of merch - a cap, sold cash only - from the back door of the announcements truck.
tom, founder of tbu, was enamoured with his fine piece of headwear, so much so that he was barely seen without it for a couple of years.
compliments for the cap rained down from friends and acquaintances at home, across the country and abroad, whenever he wore it.

what types of printing and decoration can you do for me?
we screenprint, DTF print and finish products (sewing in custom labels etc.)
i need garms fast fast. can you help?
because we're small and nimble, we can get the show on the road pretty quickly.
yes, there are some aspects of design and production we can't speed up, but others we're pretty quick with. mention it early on in our correspondence and we'll let you know what's possible.
do you work with brands who already have their design ducks in a row?
absolutely. there are lots of great brands out there that don't need too much help on the design-front. in that case, we can make sure the vector files translate in to excellent prints on beautiful garms.
is there a minimum order quantity?
yes, we generally work on the basis of minimum order quantities of 30 items. this is because setting up printing is quite labour intensive (and any fewer than 30 would make prices prohibitively high per item).
can you do my tees cheaper?
while we strive to keep prices as competitive as possible, we also pride ourselves in using good garms with a transparent, responsible supply chain. this means that yes, you might find cheaper blanks elsewhere, but it will be worse quality and it may have been made under dubious conditions.
shipping and returns
do you ship abroad?
for now, we've kept shipping to uk, usa and channel islands only. due to brexit, shipping to the eu is a bit tricky right now, but if you're realllllllly desperate for the item, email and we'll see what we can work out.
i'm not happy with my tbu garms
things do occasionally go wrong, we're the first to admit it. so whether it's a size issue or a print issue, we're happy to swap out or refund products within 90 days of purchase.
how do i return an item?
if you bought it in the last 90 days, send us an email through the form on the get in touch page and we'll take it from there.
