For best results, and to avoid color bleeding, we recommend that you wash your Sluggy T-shirt in COLD water. Please see our information about caring for your Sluggy T-shirt for more information.

My Sluggy T-shirt feels stiff or plasticy. Is this right?

Although we used to use a transfer process to make our shirts, all of the shirts we now offer are screen printed.

They have a softer feel than the old transfer shirts.

Hey, there's no shirt featuring my favorite character, [X]! Where is he/she/it?

Pete creates new shirt designs from time to time when he has a vision of a new design (and sometimes when he receives many e-mail messages requesting a particular shirt!). If you have a specific idea or request for a shirt, send it to tom@sluggy.com and we'll take a look at it.

What's the address to send my purchase to? Who do I make the check out to?

I've sent my money; when do I get my shirt?

Please allow four to six weeks total time for us to get your shirt to you. If you are paying by personal check, we may wait for it to clear.

In many cases, we can get your shirt to you in as little as two weeks; however, since we can't control the U.S. mail or personal emergencies, we keep the four to six weeks as a guideline. Also, during various "Limited Edition" shirts (Oasis, Quatrix, etc.), we get hammered with hundreds of orders in a very short time. As always, we do our best to make and send the shirts quickly, but we can get buried -- please be patient!

What type of T-shirts do you use?

Standard Sluggy Shirts

Most Sluggy T-shirts are printed on high-quality Hanes Beefy-T T-shirts. The shirts are 100% cotton.

I need a shirt size that's not listed! (or) What does a given size actually mean?

Normally, we sell shirts in sizes Medium (M) through Extra-Large (XL). However, we can also sell shirts as small as, well, "Small," or as large as 5XL. For the larger shirts, we charge a bit more (we charge you the extra cost from our supplier):

Small (S) No extra charge. No reduction, either, though. (they cost the same to us as M-XL)
2XL $2.00 per shirt
3XL $3.00 per shirt
4XL $4.00 per shirt

You can specify the size you want for each shirt on the order form. The additional cost will be displayed and added into your total bill.

Note: it may take us an extra week or two to fill some of these orders, since we don't keep as many of the larger sizes in stock.

What does "Size X" mean?

The size information given is the approximate measurement of the shirt, around the chest (just under the arms). Remember, this is the size of the shirt, so if you order a shirt matching your exact measurements, you will have a snug fit. If you like to wear your shirts loose, select a larger size. (Our advice: measure your favorite t-shirt, and choose the same size!)

Do you ship internationally? What is the extra shipping cost?

We ship using our standard rate to the U.S. and Canada, but are be happy to ship to most countries for an additional charge.

Just select "International shipping" from the order form when placing your order.

Note: You may be responsible for paying customs duties once your purchase arrives.

Do you accept credit cards? What about non-U.S. currency?

For credit card orders -- You bet! We can accept Visa and Mastercard. Just add items to your shopping basket as usual, and then select the credit card of your choice when  you go to check out.

We also accept orders via PayPal: to pay in this fashion, please select "Check" as your payment method, and complete your order. Once you get a total, use your PayPal account to send that amount to us at tom@sluggy.com, and you're set! 

We are unfortunately unable to accept non-U.S. currency when receiving payment by check (our bank won't take it). If you are a non-U.S. customer, we recommend going to your local bank or post office and purchasing a money order for U.S. funds drawn on a U.S. bank. This should be relatively easy to do; however, since the amount you'll pay will depend on the exchange rate when you make the money order purchase, you may want to buy your money order on a day when you'll get a good rate! If you have a credit card or PayPal account, we can take payments from anywhere in the world (the currency is automatically converted).

Do you have any specials, or cheaper shirts?

Since we're generally selling all Sluggy T-shirts at just a small profit, we don't usually have any cheaper shirts for sale. However, we sometimes get partially screwed-up shirts, and those we put in "Bun-Bun's Bargain Bin" for about 50% off.

We also place special orders for embroidered merchandise from time to time.  Select the "Embroidered Items" category on the left side of the screen for more details.

Do you sell any shirts that are non-white?

Yes - right now, we have several black shirts, such as the "Time To Die" shirt, the black "Evil" shirt, and the black "Fear the Bunny" shirts; and more.  We also have sand-colored shirts, and might have some in blue, red, green, pink or plain white. See the individual shirt pages for options.

Can I have a shirt with a particular day's comic? How about putting one of the shirt images on the back of a shirt?

Unfortunately, we are unable to offer shirts with specially requested daily comics, since we do not have access to the high-resolution graphics.
