Made In Small Batches
Every Terlingua piece is cut in a small run at our studio near Porto, four times a year. Runs are small on purpose: the studio checks every piece, colorways stay tight, and the line improves batch over batch instead of chasing volume.
Pre-orders are how a run gets sized. We read what people order by the close, then cut that plus a deliberate buffer, so the run lands with pieces in stock for the season. Ordering by the close guarantees your size in the run and takes 10% off with a 10% deposit. Waiting means buying from stock at full price once the run arrives, while sizes last.
The calendar
- April run: orders close November 8, ships April.
- June run: orders close January 8, ships June.
- August run: orders close March 8, ships August.
- November run: orders close June 8, ships November.
How ordering works
In-stock pieces ship from Brooklyn within days. Sold-out pieces stay orderable as pre-orders for the next run: the 10% deposit reserves your size, the balance is charged before shipping, and you can cancel for a full deposit refund any time before the run ships.
Between the close and delivery, we write production letters as the run moves through cutting, sewing, and finishing. Never more than four weeks of silence.
Why this model
Sizing runs by real demand keeps our inventory honest. We would rather a colorway sell out than sit on a markdown rack, and we would rather improve a piece each run than warehouse last year's version. Close dates hold unless a mill or freight delay moves one; when that happens, everyone in the run hears why.
One exception, always named in advance: a colorway that comes in under the minimum our mill can dye as its own lot may not be cut that run. Anyone holding a deposit on it chooses a different colorway or a full refund before we cut.
