The print on my t-shirt is a little crooked, what can I do?
Our products are hand crafted, variations are guaranteed to happen, and this individuality is part of their charm. If your print isn’t exactly straight, that’s ok. I doubt you are either, and you’re pretty darn awesome as you are!
How do I care for my Bear Worx products?

I have an idea for a t-shirt that I would like to see. Can I send you my idea?
Please do! Submit it, and if we like your idea and decide to add it to our product lineup, we will send you the first one off the production line, free of charge of course! We may have to adapt your idea a little to fit with the Bear Worx brand, but we will do our best to product a product that is true to the spirit of the idea.

What is a Bear?
According to Wikipedia, “A bear is a person who identifies with bear culture, an LGBTQ subculture. Bears are typically gay or bisexual men with a large build and body hair; many are overweight, but some are muscular.
In LGBTQ slang, the term bear is also used as a neutral descriptor for a large and hairy gay man, which can be compared with the term twink.
Bear culture valorizes the larger, hirsute male body, and exhibits and values authentic, “down to earth” masculinity that emphasizes camaraderie over competition between gay men. Bears are an organized and well-established subculture, with dedicated social clubs, events, bars and media.”
