It Takes Balls To Play Bocce Triblend T-shirt

Indeed. Solid Threads is a small, independent, mission-driven tee brand that’s been doing its thing for over 25 years. We started in the late ’90s with an analog, hands-on approach to graphic tees and we’ve kept that spirit ever since. Small team, original artwork, thoughtful details, and a focus on humor, heart, and longevity over fast fashion.

Our tight-knit crew operates from the soul stirring bank of Lake Champlain in Burlington, VT, where we design and merchandise all of our products. (And provide super friendly customer service from real humans).

The majority of orders are printed and shipped from a value-aligned production and fulfillment partner in Cleveland, OH, which lets us get packages to most customers quickly and efficiently while maintaining our quality standards.

Most orders ship within 1–3 business days.

Estimated transit times once your package leaves our partner facility:

• Free Economy Shipping: usually 3–8 business days
• USPS Ground Advantage: typically 2–5 business days
• USPS Priority: generally 2–3 business days

During peak seasons, carriers may experience delays — but we still work hard to get your order out the door quickly.

Our tees are designed with a slightly fitted, contemporary athletic cut, and premium cotton does shrink on the first wash, especially in cotton-rich styles. If you prefer a looser feel or are between sizes, sizing up is your best bet.

For the most accurate fit, find your favorite tee at home and measure it flat from armpit to armpit, then compare that measurement to the size chart on each product page. This gives you the most reliable fit match across different fabrics and styles.

Extremely soft. It’s kind of our thing.

After nearly three decades in the T-shirt craft, we’ve curated the best of the best garments, always guided by softness, fit, and sustainability.

Our Signature tees feel lightweight, breathable, and broken-in right away.

Our Organic tees feel smooth, plush, and substantial without being heavy.

Both are designed for all-day comfort and that lived-in, vintage-soft vibe from the very first wear.

We print using water-based, biodegradable inks that are non-toxic, formaldehyde-free, and APE-free. These inks absorb into the fabric (not sit on top), creating a soft, breathable print that ages beautifully.

We print in-house or with value-aligned partners who use the exact same inks and standards.

Our garments are ethically sourced, dyed with environmentally safer, low-impact processes, and printed using a largely waterless digital method that reduces waste and keeps prints soft, breathable, and long-lasting.

To avoid the overproduction common in fast fashion, every shirt is made to order. This keeps waste to a minimum while allowing us to offer a much broader range of designs without piles of unused inventory.

We’ve been refining this mindful, materials-first approach for over 25 years.

Every design starts with hand-drawn sketch from our in-house crew and a tightly curated circle of independent artists — all handpicked, designed, or art-directed by the Head T-Shirt Guy himself to ensure the right blend of humor, heart, and character.

This evolving network, the Solid Friends artist platform, brings new voices, styles, and personalities into the mix in a selective, intentional way that keeps our designs fresh while staying true to the Solid Threads spirit.
