Good questions. Straight answers.
BEFORE YOU
GET RUINED.
How the shirts are made, what they cost, and what happens after you send Rob a request.
Yes. Rob ties and dyes each piece individually. No two pieces come out exactly the same, even when they start with a similar idea.
The tie-dye patterns are physically tied and dyed by hand, the old school way. Rob uses folds, bindings, and dye to build the design into the fabric.
Custom hand-dyed shirts start at $65. Garment type, size, colors, detail, and design complexity affect the final price. Rob confirms the quote before any work begins.
Already created shirts start at $25. Each piece is priced individually, and Rob confirms the final price and availability after your request. Shipping and handling are extra.
Fill out the custom creation form with your size, colors, and idea. Rob reviews the request and contacts you to agree on the design, price, timing, payment, and shipping.
Absolutely. Tell Rob the colors you want and any you want to avoid. He will discuss what works with your chosen design.
Yes. Send a pattern idea or a link to a reference. Rob will confirm what he can make. Hand-dyed work has natural variation, so an exact duplicate is not promised.
Sizes vary by the individual premade shirt. Ask about the piece you like, or request your preferred size in the custom form. Rob confirms garment availability.
Confirmed sold pieces are marked Sold out and cannot be requested. Reserved pieces also have no claim button. If a photo says Ask Rob, its current size and availability still need his confirmation.
Yes. Pick the photographed piece in the shop and send its request form. The form includes its name and reference number. Rob follows up to confirm the shirt, arrange payment, and organize shipping.
Rob arranges payment and shipping directly after reviewing your request. The customer pays shipping and handling. Sending a form does not take payment or reserve the shirt.
Yes. Ruined By Rob is based in Blacksburg and welcomes requests from Gaffney, Cherokee County, and the wider Carolinas. Ask Rob directly about shipping or any possible handoff arrangement.
Follow the garment care label and the instructions Rob supplies with your piece. Ask him about the first wash and drying method for your specific shirt.
Ruined By Rob is based in Blacksburg, South Carolina, in Cherokee County. Orders are arranged directly with Rob. No public walk-in storefront is listed.
Timing depends on the design, garment availability, and Rob’s current workload. Include any event date in your request. Rob confirms the timing before you commit.
Ask Rob directly about any upcoming appearances. Hulaween, Okeechobee, Secret Dreams, and Imagine Festival are Rob and Amanda’s favorites, not a confirmed event schedule.
