Who are you guys, anyway?

We’re School Yard Threads — a small-but-mighty apparel brand bringing vintage school pride back to life. Think of us as your local time machine with better fabric. Every design is inspired by those glory days of pep rallies, Friday night lights, and cafeteria pizza that was somehow always just okay.

How are your shirts made?

Each shirt is made just for you the moment you order it. We work with trusted print partners — Printful, Printify, and Gelato — who handle the printing and shipping magic.
No dusty warehouse full of unsold tees here. Just freshly printed nostalgia, made to order.

How long will it take to get my order?

Most orders ship out within 5–9 business days (sometimes sooner depending on your location). Shipping times can vary based on our print partner and the destination. You’ll get tracking info the moment your order heads your way.

Can I return or exchange my shirt?

We totally get it — sometimes sizes feel different, or expectations don’t match reality.
Because every item is printed to order, we can’t guarantee returns or exchanges the way big box stores do.

👉 But! We’re not robots — we’re humans who care about your experience.
If something’s off (wrong size, print issue, damaged item, etc.), reach out to us within 7 days of delivery, and we’ll do our best to make things right.

We can’t promise every situation can be fixed, but we can promise we’ll listen and work with you fairly.

My item arrived damaged or misprinted — what now?

Oh no! That’s not the kind of nostalgia we’re going for.
Email us with a few photos at support@schoolyardthreads.com, and we’ll take care of it ASAP. We’ll coordinate with our print partners to send a replacement or refund where applicable.

Do you do custom school or community designs?

Yes! We love creating designs for small towns, schools, and local legends.
Got an idea? Shoot us a message — we’re all about repping local pride with a vintage twist.

Where do you ship?

We currently ship across the U.S. and to several international locations. Shipping costs and times vary depending on where you are — everything’s calculated at checkout.

How do I care for my new favorite tee?

Treat it like your favorite yearbook photo: gently.

  • Wash inside out, cold water

  • Tumble dry low (or better, hang dry)

  • Avoid ironing directly over the design

Do that, and your shirt will stay vintage-looking for all the right reasons.

Why should I shop small with you instead of a big retailer?

Because we actually care.
Every order supports a small creative team that loves what we do — bringing back that community pride one tee at a time. No mass production, no overstock waste, just made-for-you vintage magic.

When you shop School Yard Threads, you’re not just buying a shirt — you’re keeping school spirit alive (without the awkward assemblies).
