Product Questions

How do your sizes run?

Classic Tees:

Our classic fit tees are a little tight in the sleeves and may shrink a little upon washing. If you dont like them tight, we recommend buying one size larger than you normally wear.

 

Ladies Tees:

Our ladies tees run very small - comparable to junior sizes. If you don't like to wear your shirts tight or if you're unsure of what size to order, consider buying one or two sizes larger than what you normally wear. They will also shrink slightly after several washes.

 

Dress Shirt:

Sizes S M L XL 2XL 3XL
Sleeve 32.5 34.5 35.5 37 38 39
Collar 16 16.5 17 17.5 18 18.5

 

Hats:

Our hats are made by FlexFit and are sized S-M and L-XL. Here are the specific measurements:

 

SIZE HAT SIZE HEAD MEASUREMENT
Small/Medium 6-3/4 to 7-1/8 21 to 22-1/4"
Large/XL 7-1/4 to 7-5/8 22-3/8" to 23-5/8"

 

 

 

Boardshorts:

Size S M L XL XXL 3XL
Waistband 30 32 34 36 38 40

  

 

 

Skullys (beanies):

When placing your order for a skully, the size option says Large, but they are one size fits all. 

 



Are Black Helmet tees pre-shrunk?

Yes, during the dying process all shirts are washed and dried. However, you may notice some additional shrinkage after a few washes.



How should I wash your shirts?

Just like any other screen printed shirt.

  • Turn garment inside out.
  • Set wash temperature to cold.
  • Line dry or tumble dry low.
  • Do not bleach or dry clean.



Are your products made in the USA?

All of our products are designed, printed, and embroidered in the U.S. - Orlando, Florida to be precise.

Our classic tees are made in the U.S. by L.A. based American Apparel.

Our Flexfit hats are made outside the US, commonly in the Dominican Republic or Veitnam, and Yupoong beanie caps are manufactured in Korea.

Our belt buckles are made in Canada.




General Questions

How can I contact Customer Service?

All customer service inquries, whether pre-sale or post sale should be directed to info@blackhelmetapparel.com

 



Can I submit my own artwork for consideration?

We have lots of requests to send in artwork. We would love to see it, but we've discouraged it for a couple of reasons:

  1. We have not as of yet printed any submitted artwork - not because it wasn't good enough, just because we have so much of our own stuff that we're still waiting to go to print with
     
  2. We have lots of artwork in varying stages of completion. If that artwork just happens to look similar to something you send, I wouldn't want you to be pissed and think we stole your design.

We're working on a concept that could work for user submitted artwork and we'll definitely make it public when we do. In the meantime, if you want to send some stuff over, we'd be happy to take a look!



Our Story

Black Helmet Apparel was founded by a fireman for firefighters. All the designs are hand drawn, and unique. You'll find no clip art here. You'll only find the images that relay the fearless, but frightening side of our job. No cheesy sayings. This is how we live. It's what we love. Read more.

Doing Good

We are committed to supporting the firefighter community and we contribute a portion of all profits to not for profit charities and foundations. Learn more about the causes we support.

Our Customer Philosophy

Our customers deserve the very best. We don't try to increase our profits by purchasing cheap garments and printing. We don't sell you anything we wouldn't be proud to wear ourselves.

We purchase high quality garments that resist fading and shrinking. We pay extra for discharge printing which ensures a soft print that does not fade or crack over time. If you are not completely satisfied with any items you have ordered, or if any item is defective in materials or workmanship, just return it to us for a full refund or replacement. Learn more.
