10: Care Instructions.

For the best results with your new printed garments, always wash in cold water with the garment inside-out. Tumbled dry on medium.

11: Why do my shirts smell like vinegar?

Before printing your shirts, they are treated with a chemical that smells like vinegar. This chemical helps to bind the ink to the fibers in the shirt and is why the print holds up to repeated washing. After printing, most of the remaining chemical is removed when the shirts are dried, but a small amount may remain.

This chemical is harmless, and will wash out of the shirts the first time you wash them.

Although this can happen with our shirts, it is MUCH LESS likely to happen than with other fulfillers. Most of the chemical is removed through adequate drying before we ship your shirts.

12: Why do my shirts look stained or discolored?

When printing your shirts some discolorations can happen that will look like stains. Washing your shirts the first time in cold water should remove that discoloration.

13: I like a design, but would love it on a different garment

Not a problem. Simply use our contact form and let us know what you are interested in.

Tail Threads was started in the summer of 2017 by two high school friends and young entrepreneurs, Anthony and Tom. In mid 2019, my wife and I were lucky enough to take over the business from them. As animal lovers, we were super excited at the opportunity to commemorate other peoples’ love for their furry family members.

Dawn and I love pet inspired clothing, accessories and home goods. We buy waaaayyyyy to much stuff for Lily. This store let's us be creative and share joy and happiness with others who share a love for their dogs, cats, and any other fury creature.

  • Moose Dog

    Moose

    Moose was a rescue from the Humane Society in Pasadena and he was found roaming alone in a park. Moose was smart, constantly burying himself under a blanket, and he loved to chase small critters. He passed in 2020 at the ripe old age of 19! He ruled the house and bossed the much larger pit and the lab around.

  • Bear

    Bear was a pittie mix and the sweetest dog EVER, despite having been horribly abused before we adopted him from Downtown Dog Rescue. It took some time and a lot of live, but he became the most affectionate, loyal, loving, and kind dog that we have ever met. He died suddenly in 2022 of cancer at the age of eight.

  • Lily

    Lily is a lab and chow mix, 14 years old, and still going strong! We adopted her through Downtown Dog Rescue, as an 8-week-old puppy found in a park here in Compton. We call her cat-dog because she is so fiercely independent, wild and unpredictable. She has the best spirit, the best soul and she loves to give kisses to anybody and everybody….but on her little miss independent terms.
