FAQ

General

What is Silent Anvil Apparel?
Silent Anvil Apparel is a small UK clothing brand built around one idea: armour for everyday. We make comfortable, durable basics and meaningful artwork pieces you can wear when you need to feel ready for whatever the day throws at you.

What does “armour for everyday” mean?
It’s our way of saying your clothes can do more than just cover you. The right hoodie or tee can be a small ritual before you step out the door, a reminder that you’ve been through a lot and you’re still moving.

What is the Warpaint Council?

Warpaint is built to move. New art comes in, older pieces rotate out, and you get a say in what survives.

We keep the active Warpaint line capped at nine designs at a time. Every time a new piece would push us over that cap, we call a Warpaint Council. The three oldest designs go up for a community vote and the one with the fewest votes is retired from the clothing line.

When a design loses a Council it does not vanish straight away. It gets a one week farewell window where you can still pick it up. During that week you can use code Council10 for 10% off any items carrying that artwork. After that, it moves to the archive.

Any design that survives three Councils becomes Signature Warpaint and gets a full year of protection before we even think about letting it go. Some retired favourites may return later as Legacy editions or prints.

Orders & Production

How are your products made?
Every item is made to order. When you place an order, your hoodie, tee or print is produced just for you by our UK print partners, then shipped out. This means less waste, fresher prints and more focus on quality.

How long does production take?
Production usually takes 2–5 working days before your order is dispatched. During busy periods it can be a little longer, but we’ll always aim to get your order out as soon as possible.

Shipping

Where do you ship from?
All orders are printed and shipped from the UK.

Where do you ship to?
At launch we’re focusing on the UK, with more locations planned as we grow. If you’re outside our current shipping zones and want to order, drop us a message via the Contact page.

How long will delivery take?
Once dispatched, UK orders usually arrive in 2–5 working days, depending on the service used. You’ll receive shipping confirmation (and tracking where available) by email.

Returns & Exchanges

Can I return or exchange my order?
Yes, if there’s an issue with your order, we’ll work with you to sort it. Please check our Returns Policy in the footer for full details, time limits and conditions.

What if my item arrives damaged or faulty?
If something turns up damaged, misprinted or not what you expected, contact us with your order number and photos of the problem. We’ll get a replacement sorted or offer a refund where appropriate.

Sizing & Care

How should I wash my hoodie or tee?
For the longest life on your prints:

Wash inside out

Cold or 30°C wash

Mild detergent

Do not bleach

Avoid tumble drying where possible

Do not iron directly over the print

Discounts & Drops

Do you offer discount codes?
Yes, from time to time we’ll run launch codes, seasonal offers and rewards for the people who’ve been here from the start. Keep an eye on the site banner and our socials for anything active.

How often do you release new designs?
We drop new artwork and products in small, focused releases rather than flooding the store. Each drop will be announced ahead of time, with email and social updates so you don’t miss it.
