We embroider what you want to say.
Copper & Co started at a folding table at a South End market, and the thing we learned there is that people don't buy a shirt because it's a nice shirt. They buy it because it says the thing they've been thinking.
So that's what we make. Statements, stitched onto heavyweight garment-dyed cotton. Tees, hats, totes — if it holds thread, we'll stitch it.
Everything is embroidered. No printing, no vinyl, no heat transfer that cracks after six washes. Thread doesn't peel. It's still there when the shirt finally wears out.
Each piece is made to order in Charlotte, North Carolina. That means a few days before it ships, and it means we're not sitting on a warehouse of things nobody asked for.
Some of what we make is funny. Some of it is pointed. We're not especially interested in the middle.
The name comes from Copper, who supervises and contributes nothing.
