About the material:

In order to make cotton even more resistant and easier to process, a mixed fabric with polyester was developed. Thanks to the mixture, the fabric can be washed and ironed particularly often without losing its quality. In addition, the blended fabric does not crease as easily as pure cotton and is easy to clean.

Since polyester is an artificial fabric, we would like to mention that some people sweat more easily and smell faster in polyester fabrics because the material is less breathable. We only use recycled polyester (from PET bottles) so as not to consume any new resources.

The process of making recycled polyester from PET requires 33-53% less energy than producing normal polyester. Using recycled polyester reduces our reliance on fossil fuels and keeps PET bottles out of landfills and oceans.

Products:

Our products for T-shirts (jersey):
50% organic cotton 50% recycled polyester (150 g/m2)


Our products for hoodies:

65% organic cotton 35% recycled polyester, winter sweat (300 g/m2)
65% organic cotton 35% recycled polyester, summer sweat (300 g/m2)

If you want the hoodie to be extra soft, choose the hoodie including fleece on the inside, i.e. the “winter sweat”. For anyone who likes to have the hoodie a bit thinner, order the “summer sweat” without fleece.

What does sustainable production mean at Das Merch.?

Sustainability is at the core of our brand. We use materials from ethically responsible sources almost exclusively (more than 95% of all orders) and work with production partners committed to environmentally friendly practices. Alongside sustainable fabrics, all textiles are produced in the EU. We have a personal relationship with our production partners and employ a sewing workshop with around 10 employees in Fafe, Portugal. We also only work with GOTS-certified printers. If you'd like to learn more, check out the "Sustainability" tab at the top.

Can I reorder my merchandise identically even after a long time?

Since we manufacture the products ourselves and don't rely on blanks from other brands, we can still produce your desired product even many years later. If a material or accessory should ever become unavailable at one of our production partners for any reason, our team in Portugal will work with you to find an individual solution.

How can I get a quote for my merchandise?

The fastest way is of course our configurator. It has live pricing built in, so you see how the price changes with every design change. If you need a written quote, please contact us via the contact form.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQs)?

Our minimum order quantities start at 50 pieces per design. That means you can order a T-shirt or hoodie in different sizes, but in total you need to buy 50 pieces of the same T-shirt in the same color with the same design. For socks, we have a minimum of 100 pairs per size range (e.g. 39-42 or 43-46). Best take a look at our configurator — it shows you exactly what your design will cost in production.

How long does it typically take for my order to be delivered?

Delivery times vary depending on product type and order quantity. Some products, like T-shirts and hoodies in our standard colors, can be delivered in about 4 weeks, but you should generally always plan for 8 weeks. For a specific time estimate for your order, please contact our customer service.
