Shirts & Custom Gear
What kind of shirts does Grappling Ghost make?
Grappling Ghost makes creative shirts, custom gear, seasonal designs, funny shirts, expressive apparel, and designs connected to identity, humor, science, nostalgia, cannabis culture, and everyday life.
Does Grappling Ghost make custom shirts?
Yes. Grappling Ghost can make custom shirts for individuals, small groups, events, gifts, businesses, and special ideas. Custom orders depend on design complexity, shirt availability, quantity, and timing.
What information should I send for a custom shirt order?
Send the shirt idea, wording, preferred colors, size needs, quantity, deadline, and any image or design inspiration, preferably in png. format. If you already have artwork, include the file so I can check whether it will print well.
What kind of printing does Grappling Ghost use?
Grappling Ghost primarily uses direct-to-film printing, also called DTF. DTF works well for full-color designs, detailed artwork, small batches, and custom shirts because it allows strong color and detail on fabric.
What size can shirt designs be?
Most shirt designs can be printed up to approximately 9 inches by 16 inches, depending on the shirt size, design shape, and placement. Smaller shirts may need a smaller print area so the design fits correctly.
What shirt sizes does Grappling Ghost offer?
Most shirts are available in sizes Small through 2X, depending on inventory and shirt color. Some designs, blanks, or special orders may have different availability.
Are the shirts soft?
Yes. Grappling Ghost uses shirts selected for comfort, softness, and durability. The goal is to make shirts people actually want to wear, not stiff shirts that sit in a drawer.
How should I wash my shirt?
Wash inside out with cold water and tumble dry low when possible. Avoid bleach, high heat, and ironing directly over the design. This helps protect the print and keep the shirt looking good longer. Follow guidelines on apparel tag.
RES-IN-PIECE
What is RES-IN-PIECE?
RES-IN-PIECE, also called RIP, is a patented rapid resin-cleaning device for glass. It is designed to reduce long soaking, messy shaking, disposable plastic bag waste, and repeat purchases of cleaning supplies.
Is RES-IN-PIECE available to buy now?
Not yet. RES-IN-PIECE is moving through prototype review, manufacturing pricing, packaging decisions, and launch planning. You can join the waitlist for updates.
Is RES-IN-PIECE patented?
Yes. RES-IN-PIECE is protected by U.S. Patent No. 12,628,866.
Why is RES-IN-PIECE planned for Kickstarter?
Kickstarter can help show demand, build an early supporter community, and raise the funds needed for manufacturing. It also gives people a way to follow the product before it is available for regular purchase.
How can I support RES-IN-PIECE before launch?
You can join the waitlist, share the RES-IN-PIECE page, follow Grappling Ghost on social media, tell people who might be interested, or buy a shirt to help support the manufacturing path.
Events, Values & Policies
Does Grappling Ghost sell shirts at local events?
Yes. Grappling Ghost can be found at local festivals and vendor events when scheduled, including events like Old Settlers Day in Wanamaker and the Greenwood Holiday Craft Fair. We are always looking to attend public events. Event availability may change, so check the website or social media for updates.
Does Grappling Ghost support diversity, equity, and inclusion?
Yes! Grappling Ghost believes people should be able to express who they are and feel seen, respected, and included. Some designs are playful, some are personal, and some are meant to celebrate identity, belonging, kindness, and community.
Does Grappling Ghost sell cannabis-related designs?
Yes, some designs may reference cannabis culture, humor, or lifestyle themes. Grappling Ghost does not sell cannabis. RES-IN-PIECE is a mechanical cleaning device for glass and is being developed as a practical cleaning product. However, cannabis culture is a large part of Grappling Ghost.
Does Grappling Ghost ship orders?
Yes. Shipping options depend on the item, order size, and destination. Custom orders or larger requests may need shipping details confirmed before the order is finalized.
Can I return or exchange a shirt?
Returns and exchanges depend on the item. Custom shirts are usually not returnable unless there is a mistake or defect. If there is a problem with an order, reach out so it can be reviewed and handled fairly.
