What are the State Editions?
Fifty crests, one for each state — each drawn around that state’s official bird and flower, set in a quiet heraldic frame. You wear the place, not a logo. Six founding editions ship today; the rest of the map arrives in turn. Browse them all on the State Editions page.
Which states ship today?
We opened with a six-state founding capsule: Georgia, Texas, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. All fifty crests are drawn; the remaining editions currently read “coming soon” on the State Editions map and join the roster in turn. We do not ship every state yet.
Is the crest embroidered or printed?
On the State Polo and most apparel, the crest is embroidered — stitched in fine thread on a master machine. You feel it under the thumb before you see it. The State Tee also offers a printed seal option. We do not invent logos; the crest is always the state’s own emblems.
How is the crest made?
Each state crest begins as a drawing, then is digitized stitch by stitch into an embroidery file and proofed in thread. Once the file is right, it is stitched into your chosen piece in your colorway. More on the process lives on the Craftsmanship page.
Can I order a state I don’t live in?
Of course — for any live founding-capsule state. Wear where you are from, or where you are headed. Many customers collect the states that mark their own map.
Why made to order?
We do not hold inventory of finished crested pieces. Live apparel is produced after you order through a production partner on unbranded blanks — the crest is applied exactly for your state and colorway. It keeps the line considered, the crest exact, and waste low. Pieces without an acceptable blank yet sit on The Reserve waitlist rather than a broken buy button.
How long until it ships?
Allow seven to ten days for production and finishing before your piece is dispatched. You will have tracking the moment it leaves our production partner. Transit within the U.S. is typically another 3–5 business days after dispatch.
What is the FOUNDING offer?
Code FOUNDING takes 15% off eligible merchandise — a founding-customer privilege while the first six State Editions are live, not a clearance sale. It is applied by default in your bag; you can remove it anytime. Free U.S. ground shipping still begins at $65.
Can I change or cancel my order?
Write the concierge as soon as you can. Before a piece enters production we can change the size, colorway, or state, or cancel outright. Once the crest is being stitched the piece is yours — made to order means made for you — so we cannot cancel it then, though we will always help you find the right fit.
How does it fit?
A regular fit, lightly tailored — close to the body without pulling. Between sizes on the polo? Size up if you tuck; hold your usual size if you wear it untucked. Full measurements live on the Sizing & Fit page.
Where is my size guide?
Chest, shoulder, and length by size for the State Polo (and notes for layers) live on the Sizing & Fit page. Still unsure? Write the concierge — we answer every note, usually within the day.
Do you ship free?
Free U.S. ground shipping over $65 — which covers every State Edition polo. Orders under $65 ship for a flat $8. Either way, parcels typically arrive 3–5 business days after dispatch. Full detail is on the Shipping page.
Do you ship internationally?
Not just yet — we currently ship within the United States. Canada and beyond are coming soon. If you would like a piece shipped abroad in the meantime, write the concierge and we will arrange it by hand.
What is your return policy?
Unworn, unwashed pieces may be returned within thirty days of receipt. State Editions are made to order, but we still stand behind every crest — if something is off, write us and we will make it right. Free return shipping within the U.S. See the Returns page for the full policy.
Can I exchange a piece?
Exchanges for size or colorway are free within the United States. The crest stays with the state — once a piece has been stitched there is no exchange between states.
How should I care for it?
Machine wash cold, inside out; lay flat or tumble low. Iron with the embroidery face down to protect the thread sheen. Italian thread is durable; it is still worth the small kindness.
Can I send it as a gift?
Yes. Add a note at checkout and we will include a hand-set card, prices omitted. The Gifts page can offer a steer if you would like one.
What is the Fifty-State Collector Box?
All fifty state crests as embroidered patches, set in a hand-finished walnut presentation box with a brass plate — the whole country on one shelf. It is our most considered gift, a lifetime’s pursuit housed in one place.
Do you do team or chapter orders?
We do — for clubs, teams, and fraternities. Write us about quantities and we will arrange it properly.
How do I reach the concierge?
Write concierge@atticusreed.com. We answer every note — on sizing, gifting, order changes, or anything else the piece needs. Usually within the day.
