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’s the difference between ordering on Amazon and directly from our website?
On Amazon, we offer additional designs, including new ones we’re testing and retired styles. They handle fulfillment and print our designs using direct-to-garment printing, which allows for individual, multi-color prints. However, this method doesn’t have the same longevity as screen printing with plastisol ink, which we use on our website for long-lasting designs. Additionally, we receive a smaller design fee through Amazon orders compared to purchases made directly from our site.
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.
