The Art of the All Over Print

Every week during Made to Order LIVE, we create one special all over print shirt using the graphics menu from that week’s collection. These shirts are hand dyed t-shirts, printed in real time during the broadcast, and created from a layout that takes shape naturally as we work. Watching one come together is like seeing a live puzzle being solved.
What is a Test Print?
In printing, a test print is usually just a trial run to check placement, alignment, and ink coverage before making the full batch. We’ve turned that idea into something entirely different. Instead of running a throwaway test, we create a one of a kind shirt by carefully placing graphics across the entire garment.
It’s part art, part problem solving. We work like you would when covering a laptop with stickers or creating a tattoo sleeve — filling space, layering designs, and shaping everything so it flows across the shirt. Each graphic finds its spot in the layout, making the print unique from anything else we do.
Why It’s Special
No two all over print t-shirts are ever the same. The placement is improvised during the live broadcast and built from the week’s graphics, colors, and dyes. Every shirt captures the story of that specific day in the studio.
Saved for a Future Collection
All over prints aren’t released right away. They’re saved for a special limited drop later in the season. That future release will be small, rare, and filled with hand dyed, live printed t-shirts that carry the history of the day they were created.
