Our Story

Made to Order, Made to Matter

TRAILS&TEES was founded by Tanja & Matthias, two outdoor lovers and designers.   Our mission is to create comfortable, stylish tees inspired by the trails we love.

Each design is created with passion, printed in the USA, and delivered straight to you.  

At TRAILS&TEES, we believe that style shouldn’t come at the planet’s expense. That’s why every product is made using Print-on-Demand (POD) through our trusted partner, Printify.

Instead of mass-producing clothing in advance, we only print your shirt after you place your order. This eliminates overproduction, reduces waste, and keeps unsold inventory out of landfills. In contrast, many large fashion brands release multiple collections per year—resulting in millions of garments being discarded or destroyed.

We also care deeply about what goes into our products. Our shirts are printed in the United States, reducing long-distance transport and minimizing emissions. We use water-based, eco-friendly inks that are free from harmful chemicals—better for the planet and the people who produce them.

Each tee is made using ethically grown and harvested U.S. cotton. Our blank garments come from Gildan, a proud member of the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol, which ensures ethical and sustainable practices across the entire cotton supply chain. In addition, the fabric is OEKO-TEX® certified, meaning it’s been tested for harmful substances and meets strict international safety and quality standards.

By choosing TRAILS&TEES, you’re supporting thoughtful production, fair practices, and a more sustainable way to wear what you love.

Thanks for walking a better path—one trail, one tee at a time.

Our Mission

The wild should be worn proudly. Nature isn't just a place—it’s a mindset, a source of peace, and a call to adventure. Whether you're climbing peaks, pitching tents, or just dreaming of your next hike, we’re here to help you express that trail-loving spirit.

Our designs are made for wanderers, daydreamers, forest dwellers, and campfire philosophers. We’re serious about comfort, creativity, and a dash of fun—because getting outside should always feel good, in every way.

If you’ve found your way here, chances are you feel the same. We’re so grateful you're part of our journey. Now go out there, explore more, and wear what moves you.
