I got an order with my department. all the jackets had the wrong logo on them & the hem on the t-shirts we ordered have already come unraveled. I've only washed my shirts twice. Very frustrating.

I recently purchase three T-Shirts from The Flying Cow. I was pleased, when I first opened them, to see that the ink really did change color on the eclipse design as advertised. It's a lovely shirt. That's the good. I ordered three shirts of the same size. I received three shirts, of the same brand that say they are the same size. but are very different in size. The shirts are of poor quality and a very odd and crooked fit. The reasonable price should have been my clue. Buyer beware I suppose.

Flying Cow has been my go-to producer for all the shirts I ordered as apparel chair for my Fraternity. Their art department is great at making designs and in general everything from customer service, t-shirt options, and delivery times have been fantastic. I highly recommend Flying Cow for ordering t shirts, in my personal experience they have never let me down.

We had a horrible experience and instead of raising money for our non profit organization, we are 700$ in the hole. Never using Flying Cow again.
