Our deliveries come in a sustainable bag made with 100% corn-based polymers. Even better is it doesn’t need a commercial compost facility to break down – add it to your home compost, and voila!
Better for you and better for the environment.
If you are a regular customer of our t-shirt subscription, we have outlined an intense guide for disposing our compostable mailers. Okay, kidding – it only involves three steps.
Okay, you without the compost, we hear you! Do not fear - sites like Eartheasy and Gardening Know How can show you how to set one up. Or simply look up local composting pick-up services.
We get that it can be pretty confusing, so here is the lowdown.
Everything will biodegrade, but no limits are set on how long it will take. When things are labeled as “biodegradable,” the environmental impact is not considered, with potentially harmful ingredients seeping into the ecosystem.
The bottom line for our t-shirt subscription?
Biodegradable is not as good as compostable.
Head over to our product page now and feel confident knowing the mailers for the subscription t-shirts you order are eco-friendly and compostable.
]]>To get into fantastic shape, all it is takes is a couple of gallon containers, a backpack, and some creative cardio!
Whoever knew those empty gallon containers could come in handy, and if you’re in a house with kids who, for some reason, go through cereal and milk like they’re trying to hit a personal record, then you will always have a few of these on deck. Here’s how you can transform them!
Clean the containers and fill them with water or sand. Just make sure you glue the lids to prevent leakage, and, for safety, wear gloves or wrap the handles if they have sharp plastic seams.
For a gallon container, water will weigh about 8 lbs, and sand will weigh around 12.5lbs. If you only need a little weight, this is perfect for you. If it’s not enough weight alone, it’s a great addition to full-body HIIT exercises because, after a few rounds, you’ll definitely feel it.
Use them like dumbbells or like kettlebells and get a full-body workout!
Advanced tip: If you need more weight, buy a large 5-gallon water jug. Filled with water is about 40lbs and with sand is about 60lbs. Not recommended for most upper body workouts, but it’s ideal for deadlifts, squats, farmers’ walks, and shrugs.
Filling a backpack with books or other large-surface items is a great way to amp up the intensity of your workouts. You probably have some oversized books from college that you keep around or a bunch of books to bought to look cool on those Zoom calls ( yeah, we’ve read those too); put them to good use with added weight.
Safety tip: Make sure the weight is evenly distributed because a sagging pack will cause back problems. And keep the backpack as close to your body as possible while retaining comfort. It should add weight to the body, not jerk and bounce, as that will cause pain and potential injury.
A weighted backpack is excellent for walks, hikes, push-ups (with weight loaded on shoulders), and squats.
By far, the easiest way to lose weight and stay in shape is by walking - getting those steps in. But many of us view cardio as labor-intensive or flat-out boring, but changing our perspective on it can add a bit of much-needed spice to our daily cardio routine.
Yes, walking the dog counts as cardio. The average walk is about 20 to 30 minutes, which, at a decent pace, is at least a mile each time. And instead of hitting the treadmill for an hour, take an evening walk with the family. It’s a great way to reconnect while staying active.
Most dads would rather spend hours outside pushing and pulling and spraying and scraping than in a chaotic house where the idea of relaxation has died (do I sound like I have experience?). Yard work works the body and keeps you moving and if you’re someone who enjoys intermittent fasting, then scheduling yard work for the morning creates the benefits of fasted cardio while getting housework done. And soon, you’ll be able to cut the grass with your shirt off and claim the title of King of the Cul-de-sac.
It doesn’t matter how it looks or what you buy, so now you should have a few ideas on keeping in shape at the house. And look at it this way, the next time the world falls apart, you’ll look good and be ready!
]]>We know the pride and joy that comes from working on a car; fixing a powerful machine with your hands and tools. Some guys work on cars as a hobby, vocation, or a cost-saving function, but whatever the reason, you will inevitably get grease and oil on your clothing.
Clean it: The best bet is a high-quality dishwashing liquid, like Dawn. First, rinse in cold water, then rub the dishwashing liquid into the stain, let sit for 10 minutes, and (without rinsing) toss in the laundry.
You’re a man, a dad, who does things: sporty things, demanding things, hard-working things, running-around things - things that make you sweat a lot. When left unattended, armpit stains and sweaty collars can ruin a shirt, so, even though Wohven shirts may be your favorite, you must remember to wash them after a couple of wears.
Clean it: Wash on the highest setting for the garment with detergent. If the stain is severe, soak first in warm water with an enzyme cleaner, and then wash. You can use bleach on whites only, if necessary.
Let’s face it; the average guy runs on fumes and caffeine, so you’re probably consuming coffee for a good portion of the day. It doesn’t matter if you’re balancing rush-hour traffic with a latte or at a home-office with kids and dogs interrupting you; there’s always the impending doom of a large coffee stain.
Clean it: Soak with cold to lukewarm water, then gently work in detergent, let sit for about 10 minutes, and wash (without rinsing first) as usual. Diluted vinegar solutions also work as a pretreatment.
It’s the weekend and guess what that means? Parties, relaxation, getting to that book that makes you look smart on a zoom call - nope. Weekends are for yard work. And we’re used to seeing our dads in homely tattered wears looking real...dad-ish while cutting the grass, but you’re a new man, and you want to mow your lawn in something other than an old high school P.E. shirt. So, when your clothes get grass stains on them, you’ll definitely want to clean them.
Clean it: Use detergent with a stain treater and cover the stain completely, gently rub the material together, and then wash without rinsing the treatment. You may retreat and rewash if necessary.
Yes! After a week of work, running around, your honey-do list, and cutting grass, you’ll want to end your week on a high note with a nice glass, or three, of wine. After the second glass, you may cheers a little harder than expected, causing a mess on your shirt and those cabernet stains are no joke.
Clean it: Soak immediately in warm water. Salt the stained area and let it stand for several minutes. Then, rinse with water, apply detergent, and lay face down on paper towels. Last, rinse the detergent and wash as usual.
We know you have a lot going, and things will happen to stain your clothing; there’s no getting out of that. And even if you receive our awesome graphic t-shirts monthly, we want them to last. That’s how you build a nice wardrobe. So, use these tips to ensure your Wohven shirts last and look great many months later.
]]>That being said, here are some of our favorite ways to get the most out of your graphic t-shirt subscription.
Bomber jackets first emerged on the scene as the uniform for bomber pilots in World War 1, but have since become a staple of men’s fashion. The best part of a classic bomber jacket is the flexibility. You can dress it up with a button up shirt or roll with a Wohven tee for a more casual look. It also allows you to pretend you’re Maverick from Top Gun. Start practicing that high-five now.
Just like the final season of HBO’s Game of Thrones, Winter is Coming, which means the sweatshirt and jacket look is about to be very seasonally appropriate. Jackets that have a textured look to them, like in the pic above, contrast nicely with a Wohven shirt. Find a stylish pair of lace up boots like seen above, and you’re all set.
This is a classic go-to, both stylish and casual at the same time. Because Wohven’s tees have a minimalist style, our designs don’t clash with a typical flannel pattern. The more subtle the color matching, the better.
While some would argue it never left, no one is arguing that the denim jacket is very much IN right now, which is good news because denim jackets are about as low-maintenance as it gets. The difference in texture, weight, and material between denim and the right-colored Wohven graphic tee really pops, and is as low-maintenance. The look goes great with a pair of Converse style shoes or when dressed up with boots.
Did you know chinos are a pant style that came from American soldiers returning from the Spanish American War? That’s right, when you wear chinos you are basically Ernest Hemingway, having conversations only in the tersest of prose. A t-shirt and jeans are a classic look, but chinos bring just a touch of classy to an otherwise casual vibe that fits with nearly any environment.
That being said, don’t overthink it! Wohven’s artists create killer designs that stand on their own. And in that sense our graphic t-shirts are way better than duct tape.
David was born with congenital heart disease and was able to enjoy an extremely full life. He passed that joy of life to those he loved and all who met him, through his incredible sense of humor and love of music, food, family and friends. Due to David’s health issues, he could not obtain adequate life insurance to protect his family. Only days after their 5th birthdays, his two beautiful children lost their loving father, and Allison, his wife, is now their sole provider.

Instead of a sale this Black Friday, we are releasing a limited edition graphic t-shirt designed exclusively for David and his family. 100% of profits from the sale of this shirt will be donated to a trust setup to fund the college education of David's children, John and Ellie.
For this design, we collaborated with artist Josh Maynard, who chose a lantern as the focal point of this design. Lanterns are beacons of light in the darkness and symbolize hope, guidance, and safety.
This t-shirt will be available for a limited time only from November 22 - 27, 2018.
We just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who purchased the Maola Kid's Benefit T-Shirt! We couldn't have done this without you.
We would love to see you with your Maola Benefit T-Shirt, so make sure to tag us in your post or story. We'll be featuring everyone who does!
If you feel like reading more about the Maola family and sharing their story, please visit the GoFundMe page.

That being said, maybe you’re tired of wearing the same design, and it’s time to move one of our old shirts out of rotation. The good news is that even in this scenario, there are several different ways our premium t-shirts can serve a noble purpose in your life.
Wear one of our blank t-shirts or graphic t-shirts while working out. Our tees are comfortable, and they are stylish, but in a subtle “I’m not trying too hard to look like a model while working out” sort of way. It’s the perfect middle ground.
Depending on the status of your old graphic or blank t-shirt, it could still serve as a great undershirt for your denim jacket or plain button-up. Also sometimes it gets cold, and you just need double shirt warmth, so throw a Wohven tee on underneath that sweatshirt.
Just because your graphic t-shirt isn’t decorating you, doesn’t mean it can’t decorate your life. Stretch our artist's designs over canvas, and arrange them in an aesthetically pleasing manner of your choosing. Instant art!
Why should your regular car upkeep be boring? The next time you’re drying/waxing your car, just grab an old Wohven t-shirt for the final step, and let our shirt’s minimalist artistic genius transform this chore into a rumination on the beauty of simplicity in an increasingly complex world. Or whatever.
Pass on the gift of Wohven to your best friend. Just cut an old tee into strips, braid them together, tie off the end, and then spends hours (and hours, and hours) playing tug-o-war with your dog. This also could theoretically work as a way to fend off wild animals, but for legal reasons we are not advising that.
As we covered in point one, you are human regularly prone to to high amounts of physical exertion, which means you’re familiar with sweat stinging your eyes. The solution lies in your Wohven tee, which can easily be turned into a headband. Maybe you’re thinking, “I can’t wear a headband, as that would look ridiculous.” But you know who wore a headband? The Karate Kid. And he beat Cobra Kai. Think about it.
The practical application of this is less clear, but imagine how cool one giant tee made up of a dozen normal Wohven tees would be? If you do this, please take a picture wearing it so we can show off how awesome you are on our Facebook, Instagram, Twitter .....everywhere.
The point is there are a lot of uses for your t-shirt subscription, even when a tee's best days are in the past. So keep giving it some love, and may the Wohven tees be with you, always.
