DESIGNS
Who creates the designs?
Drifter Merch’s late founding partner Bert Griggs was the in house designer prior to his unexpected death in 2019. He left his wife/partner a computer full of ideas and rock ‘n roll inspired music designs. Drifter Merch values and encourages input from jam band and music fans. We have an incredible team of freelance designers and the talented in-house graphic designer at Carolina Printing who are ready to create amazing new and custom designs for you!
Amazon
What is the difference between ordering on Amazon and directly on your website?
On our website, we screen print with plastisol ink providing a long-lasting image. On Amazon, they fulfill orders and print our designs using direct to garment printing that gives the ability to print one at a time in multiple colors and styles. This type of printing doesn’t last as long as ink. Additionally, we are only offered a small design fee from Amazon. We use Amazon to test designs as well as offer retired styles.
BLENDED MERCH
Why do you mostly carry blended apparel?
Our goal is to offer vintage-style look which the blends have. We additionally like to use heathered colors to accomplish this goal. If you prefer 100% cotton or other blends not on the website, send us an email at info@driftermerch.com and we can special order for you the next time we place a reorder.
