52 Shirts: Commonly asked questions

Yes, you can purchase the shirts.

Each week for a year, I’m designing a shirt and releasing it on my Threadless store.

 

I’m six weeks into my new shirt-a-week project. I wanted to answer a few common questions…

You can purchase the shirts. I’m using Threadless to produce the shirts. Each shirt is produced on-demand, which means that you can get any design in a range of colors and shirt types. It’s easy to get confused by all the shirt types. I’m working on a post to explain all the options that are available.

Read the accompanying blog post. Yes, I’m designing a shirt a week, but I’m also writing a blog post about the meaning behind each design. Some weeks, the shirt designs are straightforward. But other designs, like this week’s Copyright 1975, require a little more explanation. And that’s where the blog post comes in. I enjoy writing the blog post as much as I love designing the shirts.

I release new designs on Sundays. At some point on Sunday, I make the new shirt available on Threadless and publish the blog post. I use Buffer to schedule the social media during the week.

Save some money. For the week after I launch a new shirt, all of the shirts are discounted. The discount starts Sunday afternoon and ends when the new shirt launches the next Sunday.
