QUALITY STANDARDS

BUILT TO LAST. PRINTED TO ENDURE.

At Dirty Vibez Co., our core promise is unfiltered authenticity. This requires that the physical product must stand up to the intensity of our message. We reject fast fashion standards, focusing instead on premium construction that respects both our design and your lifestyle.

I. FABRIC SELECTION: HEAVYWEIGHT, DURABLE BASE

We use heavyweight blanks specifically engineered to be superior canvases that last.

Durability & Material Quality

1. Heavyweight Construction: We utilize Heavyweight blanks, typically exceeding 220 GSM (6.5 oz). This substantial fabric weight is chosen to maintain the garment's structure through aggressive wear, resisting the stretching and thinning common in lighter retail pieces.

2. Premium Combed Cotton: Our base material is 100% combed cotton (with slight variations for heathered tones). Combing removes short fibers, resulting in a stronger, smoother yarn that feels soft but holds up longer—designed to age with you, not against you.

3. Fit Retention: Every garment is preshrunk during manufacturing to minimize post-purchase shrinkage. Combined with robust construction like side seams and shoulder-to-shoulder taping, this ensures the intended fit remains consistent.

II. ETHICAL PRODUCTION & LOCAL PARTNERSHIP

Our dedication to authenticity extends beyond the fabric feel and into the hands that create the final product. We are committed to a transparent, humane, and community-focused supply chain.

Sourcing & Labor Standards

1. Audited Factories: We partner exclusively with suppliers who maintain rigorous ethical standards, ensuring safe, fair, legal, and humane working conditions. These facilities are regularly audited by reputable third-party organizations.

2. Supply Chain Traceability: We insist on high levels of transparency, requiring our manufacturers to map their production chain. This limits reliance on unknown third parties and enforces our zero tolerance for unauthorized subcontracting.

3. Local Craftsmanship: Instead of mass-outsourcing, we work with trusted, local print shops. This partnership ensures that every piece receives skilled, hands-on attention from experts who understand the nuances of high-quality ink application, reducing our shipping footprint and building community ties.

III.PRINTING METHOD: SCREEN PRINTING FOR LEGACY

To match the longevity of our blanks, we exclusively use traditional screen printing as our primary decoration method.

Why Screen Printing is Our Standard

1. Maximum Ink Adhesion: Screen printing pushes a dense layer of ink into the fabric weave, creating a bond that is structurally superior to surface-level digital prints. This maximizes resistance to cracking and fading during rigorous use.

2. Vibrancy Over All: This method guarantees the rich opacity needed to make our high-contrast designs pop, especially on our dark, heavy fabrics.

3. The Uncompromising Finish: For a brand centered on authenticity, we use the time-tested technique that delivers permanence. Screen printing is the classic method that creates a legendary, tactile finish worthy of the Dirty Vibez badge.
