Custom Work
Start with what you already have.
A band, a brand, or a garment each needs a different first conversation. Choose the closest route, prepare the right details, and wait for approval before anything ships.

Find Your Route
One studio, two ways to begin.
Collaboration routes begin with a shared brief. Send-in routes begin with the garment itself. The cards below show what each path is for and what Donut needs before a useful review can happen.
Starting with a group or idea
Build a focused run together.
Choose a collaboration when the project starts with a band, business, event, release, or shared visual direction.
Bands
Build a limited run or one-off stage piece around a band’s sound, artwork, palette, and live moment.
- Best for
- A music project with a defined visual world and a real deadline.
- Bring
- Band name, garment idea, quantity, deadline, and artwork or mood references.
Businesses
Create staff pieces, retail capsules, event work, or client gifts that respect the brand without feeling generic.
- Best for
- A business with a clear use case, quantity range, and visual direction.
- Bring
- Business name, garment count, size range, brand references, use case, and target date.
Starting with a garment you own
Let the piece choose the route.
Choose a send-in lane when the actual garment—its fiber, condition, or existing print—determines what is possible.
Thrift Finds
Send a thrifted garment with good structure and let Donut build the dye treatment around what makes it unique.
- Best for
- One substantial, natural-fiber garment with an interesting shape and no structural damage.
- Bring
- Front, back, tag, and damage photos before the garment goes anywhere.
Your Blanks
Supply clean blank garments when you already know the fit, label, silhouette, or stock you want to use.
- Best for
- Clean, pre-washed blanks with high natural-fiber content and a known style code.
- Bring
- Garment brand, style, fiber content, quantity, size range, photos, and color direction.
Printed Tees
Rework a printed shirt while treating the original artwork as part of the finished composition.
- Best for
- A cotton graphic tee or sweatshirt whose print can tolerate a dye-bath review.
- Bring
- Front, back, tag, print close-up, damage photos, and any known print method.
The Rule Across Every Route
Approval comes before shipping.
An inquiry starts the review; it does not reserve a slot or authorize a package. If no route feels exact, email the studio with photos and a short explanation.
