Well done!

My fav t-shirts are made on Comfort Colors brand so I was thrilled to see the sweatshirt design on this brand! Rugged and roomy but soft with a rocking design. I love seeing Tahoma out when I’m visiting back home. I’ll wear this with pride in my adopted state. Love that you’re a small business and supporting our parks!

Purchase that supports National Parks!

TY for creating a women’s scoop neck shirt! The sizing is accurate, texture and color is nice, and I’m glad it was printed in the Northwest! I’m especially happy to purchase a shirt that honors Tahoma while being able to do my small part in supporting our National Parks!

Soft as heck

The first thing I noticed was how soft the material is. Putting this tshirt on feels like wrapping yourself in a cozy blanket. I’ve also washed it many times and it never fades!

The service was awesome. The sticker arrived insanely fast and is great quality. Slapped it on a guitar and you just can’t go wrong. It looks great!
