Episode 3 — The Dye Process May 15, 2026

Color comes from everywhere. A beautiful sunset. A walk in the woods. A collection of stickers on the stop sign I pass every day. At Humbles the palette is decided before a graphic is ever finalized or a screen is burned. Starting from ivory bases, five signature dye styles: solid tub, spiral, crush, dot, and shop rag. All are applied by hand with an understanding of how dye moves on cotton. The dye follows its own path. I simply help it find its way. Every piece comes out differently. Two pieces from the same run will look similar but no two are exactly alike. Design, dyeing, and printing all happen in the same studio in Trenton, NJ.

Episode 2 — Stencil Collection Apr 10, 2026

Flash Style Graphics drawn by hand and stylized to look like stencil paper right off your 3M. The cutout lines, the photocopied imperfections, the look that anyone who has spent time in a shop will recognize. This one goes back to where it all started, not in a print shop, but a tattoo shop. Humbles Flash Style Graphics developed over nearly two decades of drawing, starting in tattoo shops and later refined in this studio. The same principles that guide flash work, clarity, bold line work, and immediate recognition, carry directly into how we design and produce garments. Available as a tee, long sleeve, and oversized hoodie in ivory.

Episode 1 — Testers Collection Mar 8, 2026

The Testers Collection comes directly from daily work inside the studio. What begins as production testing becomes a curated collection of illustrations and graphics shaped through real press runs, alignment checks, ink pulls, and garment dye. Small-batch production, hand-drawn illustration, and garments finished through our signature processes.
