Where are your products made?

In the USA! Did you know that only 3% of American fashion is made in America? We’re happy to contribute to that number!

We select styles from Royal Apparel, Gildan, and Bayside that are produced right here in the U.S. with facilities in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and other states. Our shirts are printed in Orlando, FL by Real Thread, a Certified B Corp.

We will continue with this selective process to ensure the map you’re making of the USA is also made right here with you!

What materials do you use in your products?

Our shirt bases are Royal Apparel and Gildan who use 100% U.S. Grown Cotton and are members of the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol. Our canvas bag base is Bayside, also 100% U.S. Cotton and made in the USA.

What does it mean that 50x50® is a registered trademark?

50x50® is a federally registered trademark in the United States. This means our name and brand are legally recognized and protected, reflecting our commitment to creating original, thoughtfully designed products rooted in authentic travel experiences.

Because 50x50 Travels is more than a product — it’s a long-term journey and a brand built on years of travel, storytelling, and intentional design. Registering the trademark helps protect that work and ensures customers know they’re purchasing from the original 50x50 Travels brand.

How does this benefit you, our customer? A registered trademark gives you confidence that:

• You’re purchasing from the original brand with original USA-made goods

• Your purchases are thoughtfully designed & sourced, not mass-produced knockoffs

• Our brand will continue to grow and be supported long-term

To protect the integrity of the brand, 50x50® cannot be used without permission. It’s one more way we stand behind what we create.

How should I draw on my shirt or bag?

Doodle! Yes, its that simple, no need to press hard because the ink will run across the fibers. Give your design a light touch with small strokes and you’ll create a look that is truly yours.

What Markers should I use?

We hope you are enjoying kicking off your adventures with your starter marker, which is an acrylic permanent marker. We recommend sticking with something similar. Permanent Fabric markers are also a good choice because they are designed for just this purpose!

A note of caution, we did test regular Sharpie markers and they take over the fabric and bleed. For this reason we do not recommend Sharpies for your designs on our products, unless you’re going for a tie die look after washing. But you do you!

How should I care for my shirt?

100% cotton is best when you give it space to breathe! When you wash or iron, do so inside out. Washing should be in cold water with a mild detergent, and avoid using bleach or fabric softener. Like all cotton clothing, its best to air dry or tumble dry on low heat.  Take care of your cotton and it will take care of you.
