LOVE LETTERS
Start with good type
We’ve got a big ole treasure trove of wooden & lead display type. We either letterpress print directly from that type or from scans of it for our giclée prints and shirts.

We hand-carve 95% of
our graphic plates from linoleum.
If the line works gets too fine,
we cast a magnesium die.
& then make stuff.
We got type. We got plates. We got letterpress prints. The original offering since 2011. Proudly hand-inked on 100% cotton paper in Massachusetts.
Sometimes we don’t have enough physical type, or just want to make a small run. We then use scanned letterpress blocks and make a archival quality giclée print.
Everybody is from somewhere. And we make shirts for jsut about everywhere. Same letterpress sorts from the press that we inked up, printed, scanned, and turned into art for shirts.
But each print doesn’t just look good. It does good.
10% of every print sold goes to Boston-area foster families
Words From Customers
We’ve been fans of The Old Try since the early days, and have used their art in our personal houses and on Home Town.

Micah, Marianna and family are the best of the best. You couldn’t ask for a better combination, he is an Alabama boy, Graduated from Ole Miss, and his gorgeous bride is Greek….truly recherché. Oh and his prints, of which I have over 50, are BADASS as well!
