Shipping Times 🚀
Your piece does not exist until you order it. Every Mothership garment is cut and sewn into existence one at a time: printed onto blank fabric, cut, pressed, and stitched to your size over about 3 to 5 business days. Then it ships with a tracking number. Most United States orders land within 2 to 3 weeks. Good things take time, and this one is being made just for you.
FAQs 👽
When will my order ship?
Every piece is cut and sewn to order, made only after you ask for it. The craft takes about 3 to 5 business days at the cutting table, and most United States orders arrive within 2 to 3 weeks.
What if it doesn't fit?
Check the Fit & Sizing guide below, and see our Shipping & Returns page (in the footer) for exchange details.
Do the UV designs really glow?
Yes. Under blacklight the inks come alive. Daylight shows the colors; UV unlocks the glow.
Care Instructions ❤️
Machine wash cold, inside out, on a gentle cycle. Hang dry or lay flat. No bleach, and don't iron directly on the print.
Cloaks: hand wash cold and lay flat to dry to keep the print vivid.
About the Pattern ✍️
Ochre is the first paint humans ever held. Clay stained gold by iron, ground and pressed onto rock walls and skin for seventy five thousand years, always to mark the path: where the water waits, where the ancestors walked, where you are headed next. Painted Pathway carries those winding golden roads onto cloth. Every line is a journey already walked and a journey still ahead. Always keep exploring.
