Threadless

Unfortunately we have no immediate plans to offer PayPal as a payment option. PayPal is not supported by our merchant account and also does not offer the level of fraud protection we require. It may change sometime in the future, just no time soon.

Could you explain the revenue sharing arrangement between Threadless and submitting artists, and also if an art licensing agreement has ever been considered, instead of the current Threadless acquisition of all rights. In other words, to get the best quality of art and design submissions, it is common for a licensing arrangement to be reached (usually a flat fee, plus commission on sales). Threadless would attract higher quality artists and artwork by using a licensing agreement found commonly in licensing agencies. Thanks for your reply in advance.

My friend's girlfriend tells me that he irons his T-shirts. He takes them out of the dryer while they are still a little damp and irons them dry. Will this really make them last longer? What other suggestions do you have?

skinnyCorp is the company that Jake Nickell and Jacob DeHart started for Threadless to run under. Naked & Angry, I Park Like an Idiot, and ExtraTasty are also a part of SkinnyCorp.

What brand/make of t-shirts do you use for men's and women's apparel these days? I know you used to use American Apparel for women and Fruit of the Loom 50-50 for men, but then there was a big debate about what to use going forward. What are you using now and why?

Yes, we opened our first store in Chicago. You can find out more about it here:

More stores will follow. Maybe you'll see a Threadless store near you!

Threadless was created by Jake Nickell and Jacob DeHart. They came up with the idea after Jake Nickell won the NMUF London tee shirt competition. It felt good to win a tee shirt competition and we thought it'd be cool to extend that to the level that Threadless has become.

The two Threadless Jakes met on dreamless.org a while back. They both are web developers who live in Chicago and love tee shirts and posters.

How to submit
Everyone in the World is welcome to submit a tee design, join the Threadless community and click the submit link. From here you will be able to read all of the instructions and download templates. When you are done designing, you can return to that page and use the form to submit your design.

If you followed all of the rules and specifications, your design will be posted on the site to be voted on by the threadless community. It will stay posted for 7 days and then the results will be tabulated. If it is among the top scoring shirts, it may be chosen to be printed.

PRIZES !?
If your design is chosen, you will receive a cash prize and a gift certificate to purchase some of your shirts. You will also be mentioned on the website and may become famous! Note that as the site grows we hope to be able to offer the winners more :)

By submitting a photo to the photo gallery, you may win a free tee. We pick a user every now and then from those who have submitted photos to receive a FREE tee !

We look at the top 300 designs every couple of weeks and pick out around 10 designs that we want to print based off of the designs score, comments, and the number of i'd buy it's. Ultimately the decision of which shirts get printed are left up to us. The scoring system helps give us a general idea of which designs our customers want.

To score submissions, you simply need to join the Threadless community, navigate to the 'score submissions' section and begin scoring. Score each shirt on a scale of 0-5 (0 being bad). The system will keep track of which shirts you have scored so when you come back you will be all ready to score new designs. There is also a checkbox when scoring to 'promise to buy'. This is just another tool we use to gauge the response to the tees. We will not FORCE you to actually purchase it if it wins.
