FAQ - Frequently Ask Questions

Where is Corvink based?

Paso Robles, CA.

What does LTD mean?

LTD stands for Limited Edition. A number of our items are made in limited runs. Meaning only a certain number of them will ever be made. When they're sold out, they're gone for good! Refer to the product listing for the exact number of items made for that particular product. The exact number made was decided and fixed at the time of production, the quantity may vary.

What do the [Roman numerals] in some product titles mean?

The idea behind Corvink's madness is that not everything made should last forever. Some items are made in limited runs (marked as LTD, meaning a set number of products were made), others run for a certain amount of time, get old and need a refresh. When an item is refreshed and the old version is no longer being sold, the item is marked by which run we're currently on. Shirts and other apparel see this often. When an item is first produced it will have a [I] next to it, after living for several years on the site (or the design or pattern changed), it may say [II], [III], [IV] or beyond! These aren't limited editions per se, but if you have a [I] that's pretty legit! We don't make those anymore. They might even be collectible now.

What is Corvink Black Label?

The "Black Label" in the product description means that it literally has a black label sewn on it. The label says "Corvink" on the front, and has a positive message embroidered on the back. This signifies that it is one of our premium line of products. They've stood the test of time, and sometimes other people have even attempted to steal the idea and sell it as their own concept. If you see the Corvink Black Label on your item, you know you have a legit Corvink produced high quality product! Don't buy from those cheap scam sites, get them from us direct! It's worth it, our quality and longevity of the fabrics and inks used are much better than theirs.

Some older print runs made by us might not have the black label sewn to them. This is because the Black Label quality line wasn't conceptualized yet. However, if you bought a shirt, apron, or tote from us in the past, those items still have the same quality! We just let people know now. 

What Does OOP mean?

There's a difference between being limited, having another version, and simply just being dead to us. OOP is the latter. Not really "dead to us" in the sense that we hate them or anything, but it was just time to move on and stop producing that item. Corvink has been around for over 10 years now and some of those items stayed along on that journey for most of that time. To free up creative energy, and actually storage space, sometimes the decision is made to kill off an item and no longer produce it. OOP items have a special place in our hearts and minds, but now are in the hands of people who bought them when they were available only. We don't have them in stock or sell them on our site or at conventions anymore.*

Thank you so much for purchasing one of these OOP items, you're one of the people who have built Corvink up over the years.

*some of our retail partners might though. Please check their stores and get them there before someone else does!
