From Comfort Colors Blank to Humbles™ Hand-Dyed Tee

When you order a shirt during MTO LIVE, or from our shop or any one of our collaborations, you are not just buying a graphic tee. You are getting a premium, hand-dyed Comfort Colors T-shirt that has been refined over years of testing and production. Every decision, from the blank we choose to the pigments we use to the way we label each shirt, is intentional.
Premium Blanks: Comfort Colors
After testing countless T-shirt brands, we chose Comfort Colors as our preferred blank. Made from soft 100% cotton with a broken-in feel, Comfort Colors shirts are comfortable and high quality. The relaxed fit works for a wide range of body types without feeling oversized, while the heavyweight cotton gives the shirt a nice drape and structure.
Comfort Colors also supports sustainable manufacturing with eco-friendly dye processes and responsibly sourced cotton. This makes them a perfect match for the Humbles™ values of quality and care.
Hand-Dyed In-House
Every Humbles™ tee starts as a solid Comfort Colors blank. We hand dye each shirt using high-quality pigments that create a soft, lived-in look. Most of our colors are light, faded, and washed, giving them a vintage and worn-in feel right from the start. Some colorways are bright, but we lean toward those softer tones that complement our graphics without overpowering them.
No two shirts are ever identical, which means the one you receive is truly unique. This is not mass production. This is small-batch streetwear created for people who value originality.
DIY-Style Neck Labeling
Our DIY-style neck labeling is a Humbles™ signature. We want people to know that we are relabeling these Comfort Colors blanks. The original neck tag is cut so only the frayed edge shows, and the brand portion is removed and replaced with our own label.
This keeps the Comfort Colors identity visible to those who know, while giving the shirt the official Humbles™ finish. Comfort Colors labels are sewn into the garment, and we keep that construction intact to respect the blank’s quality while making the shirt distinctly ours.

FAQ: Humbles™ Hand-Dyed Comfort Colors Tees
1. What size should I order?
Comfort Colors shirts have a relaxed, true-to-size fit. For a looser streetwear style, size up one size. Refer to our Fit guide for more information.
2. How should I wash my hand-dyed Humbles™ tee?
Turn the shirt inside out, wash in cold water with similar colors, and tumble dry on low. Avoid bleach or harsh detergents to maintain the vibrancy of the dye.
3. Will the colors fade?
Our dyes are chosen for their washed and worn-in look from the start. Over time they will soften even more, adding to the vintage appeal.
4. Are all shirts exactly the same?
No. Each hand-dyed tee is unique. The patterns and tones will vary slightly, making every piece one of a kind.
5. Can I choose my dye colors?
For MTO LIVE events, we create curated colorways for that week’s lineup. If you want a custom color combination, we offer custom design services outside of MTO LIVE.
6. Do you remove all the Comfort Colors tags?
No. We keep the frayed edge of the cut tag and replace only the brand portion with a custom Humbles™ tagless label, leaving a visible frayed edge as part of our DIY neck label style.
