MANUFACTURING
Why this costs more than a merch tee
Most graphic shirts are printed by a machine that has never seen the design, on a blank chosen because it was cheapest that week. Here is what we do instead.
The world is obsessed with speed, rushing to churn out trends and flooding the market with clothing that looks good for a moment but falls apart just as quickly. Fast fashion thrives on disposability, prioritizing hype over craftsmanship and novelty over longevity.
There are two halves to how we work.
We source the best materials we can find and build every garment from a proper base, including our own fabric blends like HYPRCLOTH, with no shortcuts on quality. Then we bring it home: in our San Diego warehouse, our team outputs the films, mixes the inks, and screen prints every piece by hand. Sourced from wherever we can find what is best. Printed by hand where we live.

The inks are ours
Our screen-printing process is proprietary, developed through years of refinement. The inks we use are ours and ours alone, custom formulated to achieve a depth, texture, and durability that off-the-shelf methods simply cannot replicate.
It is why a Neo4ic print has depth you can see across a room, and why it is still there after fifty washes. Anyone who owns an authentic Neo4ic shirt can immediately tell it is not like other clothing.
