Everything you need to know about The Rack, our products, and our mission.
Orders & Shipping
What are your shipping options and estimated delivery times?
We've partnered with Apliiq, a US-based print-on-demand company, to bring our Made in USA designs to life. With fulfillment centers on both coasts — Los Angeles and Philadelphia — your order is produced and shipped domestically, start to finish.
Once you place your order, production typically takes 2–5 business days, followed by 2–3 business days for delivery, for an estimated total of 4–8 business days from order to your door.
You'll receive a tracking email as soon as your order ships.
Do you ship internationally?
At this time we only ship within the United States.
How do I track my order?
Once your order ships, you will receive an email confirmation with a tracking number and a direct link to follow your package. You can also log in to your account at any time to view your order status.

Products & Sizing
How do I find my size?
We have a full size guide with men's, women's, and hat charts — including chest, waist, hip, and inseam measurements. View the Size Guide →
When in doubt between two sizes, we recommend sizing up for a more relaxed fit. All our garments are cut to consistent, true-to-size standards.
What materials are your garments made from?
Our garments are crafted from Comfort Colors 100% ring-spun cotton — the same heavyweight, garment-dyed fabric trusted by those who demand durability without sacrificing comfort. Ring-spun cotton is twisted tighter during production, making it stronger and softer than standard cotton. Each piece is then dyed after construction, giving it a naturally worn, vintage character that's unique to every garment. No two shirts look exactly alike — and that's by design.
How should I care for my garments?
To keep your garment looking its best, follow these care guidelines from Comfort Colors:
- Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors
- Use a mild, bleach-free detergent
- Do not use chlorine bleach — oxygen/non-chlorine bleach only if needed
- Tumble dry on low heat, or air dry to best preserve the pigment dye
- Do not iron directly over any printed or decorated areas
Washing cold inside out is especially important — it protects the garment-dyed finish and keeps the colors rich longer.
Are your products designed and printed in the USA?
Yes — every design in The Rack collection is created by American artists and printed domestically right here in the United States. We are committed to keeping the full creative process on American soil, from original artwork to finished print.
The 250th Anniversary Collection
What is the 250th Anniversary Collection?
The 250th Anniversary Collection commemorates 250 years of American history - from 1776 to 2026. Each piece is designed to honor the enduring spirit of those who built and defended this country, drawing inspiration from The Rack's deep roots in American heritage.
Is it a limited run - will it sell out?
Yes - the 250th Anniversary Collection is a limited run. Once these pieces are gone, they will not be restocked. We encourage you to secure yours early.
Our Story & Mission
Who is The Rack and what do you stand for?
The Rack is an American heritage brand rooted in the belief that history deserves to be worn, not forgotten. We create timeless apparel that honors the sacrifices, stories, and spirit of those who came before us - from the founding of this nation to the men and women who have served it ever since.
What is the significance of the Letters Home archive?
Letters Home is a living archive of handwritten letters sent by American servicemen and their families during wartime. These letters - some dating back to 1943 - are a direct, unfiltered connection to the human experience of service and sacrifice. We share them because we believe these voices deserve to be heard, and because they are the soul of what The Rack stands for.
Does The Rack support veterans or military families?
Yes. The Rack is proud to support the HunterSeven Foundation, an organization dedicated to improving the health and well-being of post-9/11 veterans and their families. A portion of every purchase goes directly toward their mission.
