PREMIUM QUALITY T-SHIRT
👕 Premium For A Reason
Printed on Comfort Colors 1717 — the heavyweight, garment-dyed, 100% ring-spun cotton tee that every other shirt wishes it was. Soft and lived-in from the very first wear, no stiffness, no waiting.
The garment-dyed process washes color through the fabric instead of sitting on top, giving every shirt that signature soft, faded, vintage look — the kind of worn-in feel most tees take years to earn.
Made from 100% heavyweight 6.1 oz cotton, these shirts are preshrunk from the get-go and DO NOT SHRINK at all in the dryer (we've tried... many times). This is the kind of shirt that quietly becomes the one you pack first — no matter where you're headed!
Designed in Raleigh, NC. Dyed, printed, and shipped in the USA.

We print every Triangle Threads design on Comfort Colors 1717 — the heavyweight, garment-dyed, 100% ring-spun cotton tee that's considered the gold standard in the industry. Thick, buttery soft, and broken-in from the very first wear. Yes, a premium shirt costs a little more — and yes, it's absolutely worth it.

At 6.1 oz, it holds its shape, doesn't shrink, and only gets better with every wash. Don't take our word for it — our reviews speak for themselves (spoiler: our customers don't shut up about them).
🌎 Made By Travelers, For Travelers
Family Owned Small Business
We started Triangle Threads with one simple idea: the best souvenirs aren't the cheap plastic junk gathering dust on a shelf — they're the ones you actually wear, pack, and live in. The ones that travel with you long after the trip ends.
We're Chris & Rachel, a husband-and-wife team based in Raleigh, NC. Every design starts in-house, every shirt is built to outlast the trip that inspired it, and every order supports a small family business chasing the same thing you are — more trails, more stamps, more stories worth telling.
We've shipped tens of thousands of shirts to travelers, hikers, and national park lovers around the country — and we treat every single order like it's the first one we've ever shipped. Questions, concerns, sizing second-guesses? You'll get a fast, friendly reply from an actual human (usually Chris or Rachel).
If something ever goes sideways with your order, we'll make it right — no scripts, no runaround, no corporate nonsense. That's a promise.
Small shop energy. Big brand reliability.

I’m buying these for everyone’s bday this year. The short colors are great… not your typical RGB standards and the print is high quality.
Gonna buy a Denali one next!
The Gulf of Mexico Tshirt came in promptly. I couldn’t wait to try it on and it’s so soft and comfortable! It fits pretty true to size maybe slightly on the larger size. So I’m gonna tie it in a knot and make it look super cute would absolutely recommend!
The shirt appears to be of good quality and is very comfortable. Super happy with it. However, it took just over a month to receive. Not sure if that's on USPS's end or what?
Store owner replied:
Thanks so much for the kind words about the shirt—we’re really glad to hear you love it!
As for the shipping delay, we took a look and it looks like USPS lost track of the package for a stretch in the middle of June. That kind of delay definitely isn’t the norm, and we’re so sorry it took that long to reach you. We know how frustrating it is to be left waiting, and really appreciate your patience. If you have a similar issue in the future, don't hesitate to reach out and we'll work with USPS to get it taken care of as soon as we can. -Rachel
It is and always will be the Gulf of MEXICO! Great shirt!
I’m happy with the material- not as soft as I thought it would be, but after a wash and dry, I can tell it’s excellent quality, and will hold up well! I’m 5’10, typically XL women’s t-shirt- the Large unisex fits perfectly.
Only a racist narcissist thinks he can change the name of a body of water simply to boost his own ego. It has been the Gulf of Mexico since 1550, and it will always be known as the Gulf of Mexico to everyone who's not kissing the 🍊 🤡's 🫏. THIS T-SHIRT LETS EVERYONE KNOW YOU ARE ON THE SIDE OF SANITY AND DEMOCRACY! Plus after you wash and dry it, it is soft as butter!
The shirt is screen printed, not a vinyl transfer. It's so much better quality than many online T-shirt vendors. It looks just like the online images, well done! Support this small business!
We're a small team based in Raleigh, North Carolina — halfway between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Atlantic Coast. Every design is made in-house, and we partner with printers in the USA to get your order out fast.
How long until my shirt arrives?
We know you're used to two-day Prime shipping, but we're not Amazon (and honestly, we like it that way).
Every shirt is printed just for you, so orders typically ship within 7 days. Once it's on the road, delivery takes another 3-5 business days. Most orders land on your doorstep within a week or two — usually sooner.
What size should I get?
Sizing can be tricky, so we've included a full size chart on every product page. Because these shirts are preshrunk, we recommend sizing up if you're between sizes or prefer a more relaxed, lived-in fit.
What are your shirts made of?
We only print on Comfort Colors 1717 — the heavyweight, garment-dyed, 100% ring-spun cotton tee that's considered the gold standard in the industry. Soft from day one, preshrunk, and built to get better with every wear.
Will I get a tracking number?
Yep! Once your order ships, you'll get an email with a tracking number so you can follow your package's journey from our printer to your door.
How do I return or replace something?
If anything arrives damaged, defective, or not quite right, just reach out and we'll make it right — no questions asked.
