86 is not just a number. In every kitchen, every bar, and every dining room in the world, it means the same thing. Gone. Done. Off the menu.
We built 86 Threads for the people who live that language. The ones who know what it means to be in the weeds, to clopen, and to smile through a nine-top that walked in three minutes before close.
Every piece we make is a limited run. When it sells out, it joins the 86 List. No restocks. No exceptions. That is the point.
If you know, you know.
THE STORY
86 is not just a number. In every kitchen, every bar, and every dining room in the world, it means the same thing. Gone. Done. Off the menu.
We built 86 Threads for the people who live that language. The ones who know what it means to be in the weeds, to clopen, to smile through a nine-top that walked in three minutes before close. The ones for whom the restaurant industry is not a job they fell into. It is who they are.
Every piece we make is a limited run. When it sells out, it joins the 86 List. No restocks. No exceptions. That is the point.
If you know, you know.
86 is restaurant industry slang for something that's gone, done, or off the menu. Every piece we make is named or themed around that world. Once an item sells out, it's "86'd". No restocks.
86 Threads is built by and for restaurant workers: servers, bartenders, cooks, dishwashers, and everyone who has lived the language. Our founder spent years in the industry. Every design comes from real shifts, real customers, and real stories.He also spent years working at a T-shirt Company.
Just like the restaurant the chef's specials are limited runs. You get them when you show up to the restaurant. When it's 86'd, it joins the 86 List and we make something new for the next time you visit.
Every shirt is printed in batches, so please allow 1-3 business days for production, then 5-8 business days for shipping. Often sooner. Free U.S. shipping on every order.
Right now we ship to the U.S. only. International shipping is on the roadmap. Join the email list at the bottom of the page for updates.
All tees are unisex fit and run true to size. Check the size guide on each product page for measurements. Compare measurements on your existing shirts. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up for a relaxed fit.
Because every piece is printed to order, all sales are final. If your item arrives damaged or defective, contact us at support@86threads.com and we'll make it right.
