If you take a look at Nick’s glass art, you’ll see these designs on his vessels and vases. We liked them so much we wanted them on shirts too.

Like our Cascading Leaves and Maple Leaf designs, this image is based on one of Nick’s original photographs. For the "leaves" designs, Nick first takes macro photos of different types of leaves, capturing their delicate lines and veins. Then these images are digitally edited to enhance the contrast and create transparencies, which are exposed onto the silkscreens. Next, they're handprinted onto the shirt fabric. In the case of "The Reader" design, things took a bit of a whimsical turn as we played around with superimposing the reading man, taken from another original photograph, into the leaf image.

Our unisex style tees are made with the softest CVC or triblend fabrics. Due to Covid-related inventory shortages, we often have to mix and match between fabric blends. But all sizing is the same!  

  • Handprinted with water-based inks for a lasting print that won't crack or peel.
  • Unisex: CVC 60% cotton, 40% polyester; Triblend50% polyester, 25% Airlume combed ringspun cotton, 25% rayon
  • Pre-washed to reduce shrinkage - machine wash, tumble dry low.

Never received either tshirt

I have not received either tshirt

Hi Candace,
I checked your tracking and it seems the package is lost in transit. Once Canada Post picks up the package, we cannot control it's whereabouts, though Canada Post is reliable 99% of the time! The tracking was made available to you on December 4th in a shipping notice, which is when the tee went out. I can issue a ticket with Canada post and resend the shirt if you’d like, or issue you a refund. Let me know how you'd like to proceed.

    "I’ve shared your site with family, my guys loved your awesome t-shirts and the designs are just so fun and Canadian! Yahoo from the west."

  • Kris G.

    "There are only two prerequisites that I expect in a T, a great design, and a good fit. The shirts that we get ... from Blackhare ... are of outstanding quality and have tastefully unique graphics that suit our personalities and can be worn anywhere. I love these shirts, and wear them almost every day! On top of it all, the folks at Blackhare are easy to order from, and you always know what you are going to get. It’s not that I don’t wear other shirts but my shirts from Blackhare are always a “go to” in my wardrobe."

  • Praneeta M.

    "...the customer service (I think I spoke to Monica) was amazing and I was convinced that you are a small business that cares. So I bought.
    Post purchase:Now that I have them, I think I'll shop more because I did not expect the tshirts to be so soft and comfy. My husband loved them and wears them often."

We've built our brand on the amazing fit and feel of our tees. That's because we only print on premium fabrics that are super soft, hold a nice, flattering fit without being too tight or boxy, and won't get stretched out or pill after repeated washes and wears.

All of our tees are hand printed in our home studio in Sackville, New Brunswick on a four screen printing press. We use only eco-friendly, water-based inks for our designs, which tends to give our graphics a slightly transparent, vintage feel.

We love running a small-scale creative business that can offer you uniquely inspired designs and goods that you won't be able to find anywhere else. We're also dedicated to continually evolving our business to align with our own personal values of transparency in pricing and sustainability in our processes and practices. Join us in re-shaping what business can look like, and get the most comfortable tee you've ever had while you're at it!
