FAQ's

Where are you located?

DeadNote Apparel crawled out of Australia — a country that knows a thing or two about isolation, which felt appropriate. We print and ship globally, because creative suffering doesn't respect borders and neither do we. Wherever you are in the world, your order will find you. Just like that unfinished song you've been avoiding.

Do you ship internationally?

We ship worldwide — because no matter where you are, you deserve clothes that understand you better than most people do. Shipping rates vary by location. Check our shipping policy for the details, or don't, and just be surprised. Either way, it'll arrive.

Will I get a tracking number for my order?

Once your order ships, you'll get a tracking email with everything you need to watch it make its way to you. It's the most exciting thing you'll refresh obsessively since you last checked your SoundCloud plays.

What materials are your products made of?

Our tees are made from high-quality, soft materials — because if you're going to wear your emotional damage, it may as well be comfortable. Exact fabrics vary by product, but you'll find the details on each product page. No nasty surprises. We save those for the creative process.

Our Story

DeadNote Apparel was born somewhere between take 47 and giving up — which, if you're a musician, you know is actually where the best stuff happens. We make clothes for the people who write songs no one asks to hear, live permanently in a minor key, and find more comfort in a well-placed Dm chord than in most human conversation. We exist for everyone who's ever been asked if they have a backup plan. The answer, for the record, is no.

This isn't merch for fans of a band. It's for people who are the band — even if the band is just them, a laptop, and a half-finished track they'll never release. We make minimalist, grunge-tinged clothing for the ones who chase the perfect take, write lyrics at 2am, and consider a good reverb setting a genuine emotional experience. We put the unglamorous, deeply specific reality of making music on a t-shirt, because it deserves to be worn proudly. Or at least worn. We're not picky.

We're not festival merchandise. We're not a branded stress ball with a guitar on it. We're the thing you wear when you want the right person in the room to quietly nod at you — because they've been in that same 3am spiral, staring at a DAW, wondering if any of it matters. It does. Probably. Either way, the clothes are good.

OUR WHY

"DeadNote Apparel exists for the musicians and music lovers who feel most understood when no one's listening. We make wearable art for the people who write songs no one hears, live in minor keys, and find dark humor in the beautiful mess of creating something from nothing."
