So what, or who, or how, is Boss Manatee exactly?

"I think it best if you should go to our About page for that..."

Soooooo are y'all an apparel company or do y'all just, design stuff?

"Ah, interesting question. We are indeed an apparel company, and do not offer design services. We include "design" in our title because we plan on expanding beyond apparel to other intentionally-designed products in the future."

"However, if you are looking for design services, my Right-Hand Man and the Chief Designer of Boss Manatee DnA also does freelance design work. You can email him at me@timothyreavis.com."

Where is your stuff made?

"We try to keep things as close to home as possible. Are shirts are screen printed here in Raleigh, and our bandanas printed in Durham, and cut and sewn in Raleigh. All of our other printed materials are done through a local printing company."

How long will my stuff take to get to me?

"Depends on where you live of course, but in our store we have both standard and expedited options."

What if I want to return something?

"Then by all means, return it. You must pay for shipping the item back, but we will reimburse that amount on receiving the returned item."

Where are y'all from?

"The Manateam is located in Raleigh. The Boss Manatee DnA headquarters are part of the BLDG Co workspace, which we really, really love. If you're curious to find out more about BLDG Co, check out their Facebook page. We love being part of a working community of folks trying to build stuff that builds their community - I highly encourage to check them out."

"If you're asking where I'm from, I am from all over the place, but was raised in the warm waters of Florida."

Why a manatee?

"Well, I just happen to be a manatee, that's why a manatee. Why are you a human? You happen to be a human - similar principle."

Where can I find your stuff?

"We offer our products through our online storefront, or you can catch us at various events through the Triangle. Follow us on Instagram or Twitter to stay up on our event locations."

Would you consider yourself an optimist?

"I like to think so. I try to feed myself a healthy dose of pragmatism along with it, and try to instill that in my Manateam as well. Some days are harder than others, of course."

I'm a retailer interested in your product - who do I contact?

"Why thank you for your interest. You can email Tim at tim@bossmanatee.com to discuss details."

I have another question that's not answered here - where can I go to find the answers?

"Ah, good question. You can go to our Contact Page to find out how to make additional inquiries."
