Tariffs

Do We Charge Tariffs? Not When It's Made in the USA

No, we do not charge tariffs. Our products are Made in the USA, Made in Colorado, or crafted from American-grown and American-sourced materials. That means no import fees, no unexpected costs, no tariff fees, no tariff tax and full transparency. If you're looking to support local manufacturing and want high-quality goods without added tariffs, you're in the right place. From embroidery to shipping, everything is done in-house in Colorado Springs, Colorado, keeping costs honest and quality exceptional. 

"We’re not the   c   h   e   a   p   e   s   t    — and that’s intentional. We put quality, craftsmanship, and service first. If price is the only thing that matters, we're not the store for you — and that’s okay."

Why You Won't See Tariff Charges On Your Order

• We don't import finished goods - we make them here.
• All labor, artwork, embroidery, printing, sewing and shipping is handled in-house.
• Majority of our materials (like our U.S.-grown cotton tees and premium American threads) are sourced and made within the U.S.
• Any imported components (like DTG inks or flexfit hats) are limited and don't currently result in tariff costs for our business.
• Flexfit hats, Yupoong hats, and Richardson hats are all manufactured in Vietnam. We carry some of these hats because of quality and that's what our customers request. However, all labor, artwork, embroidery and customization is done in-house and American-made in USA.
• Several of our U.S. made hats are designed and sewn from scratch ourselves in-house with U.S. materials, including our new bucket hat line we'll be dropping.
• We'll only apply tariffs if they ever become necessary. We would rather remove a product, than charge a tariff.
  
• We don't plan on charging tariff fees in the near future, the few things we do use will be swiftly replaced with U.S. made.
• Custom hats made in USA - In-house embroidery USA, Made in Colorado products

• American-made no hidden fees, tariff-free shipping, no import charges

Since 2010, we've stayed true to one standard: 100% U.S.-made, by choice not  t  r  e  n  d, no compromises, no excuses, no favors, no handouts, and no shortcuts. That commitment has never wavered, then or now. Tariffs don’t impact us because we don't rely on  i m p o r t s  our foundation was never built around what’s easiest, or what was  c   h   e   a   p   e   s   t   but around what was the best and what’s right for us.

"Yeah, staying U.S.-based cost us more and cut into our margins — but that was a choice, not a compromise and wasn't/isn't negotiable. Made in the USA isn’t just a label for us; or a  t  r  e  n  d, it’s the standard."
