We Care
If you have an issue or question that has not been answered in the FAQs or store policies, please reach out via the contact form.
We strive to respond to all website enquiries within 24 hours.
Ordering
Shopping with Backroom Gear is simple. Browse our collections, choose your favourite design, select your size and colour (where available), then add it to your cart. When you're ready, head to checkout where you can securely pay using our available payment options. Once your order is placed, you'll receive an email confirmation and another email with tracking details once your order has been produced and shipped.
Because every Backroom Gear item is made especially for you after you order, we begin processing orders quickly. If you've made a mistake or need to change something, contact us as soon as possible. We'll always do our best to help, but once production has started we may not be able to make changes or cancel the order.
Contact us immediately with your correct address.
If your order hasn't entered production or shipping yet, we can usually update the address. Once your parcel has been shipped, we're unable to redirect it, so the sooner you contact us, the better.In most cases, no. Because our products are printed to order and begin production shortly after purchase, separate orders are processed independently. If you've accidentally placed multiple orders, get in touch straight away and we'll see if anything can still be combined.
Yes, we do. Please send your customisation requests to email@domain.com, we will give you our quote. Thank you.
Only one discount code can be applied per order. If a store-wide sale is already running, additional discount codes may not be available. Our automatic bundle discounts, such as Buy 2 & Save or Buy 3 Get 1 Free, will apply where eligible.
Shipping
We ship worldwide. To get your order to you as quickly as possible, we use a global network of trusted production partners. Wherever possible, your order is printed and shipped from a facility in or near your country.
For example:
United States orders are typically printed and shipped within the US.
United Kingdom orders are usually printed and shipped within the UK.
European Union orders are generally fulfilled within Europe.
Australian orders are typically printed and shipped within Australia.
Producing orders closer to you helps reduce shipping times and, in many cases, avoids unnecessary import duties, customs fees, and international shipping delays. On rare occasions, if a product or size isn't available at your nearest production facility, it may be fulfilled from another location. If this happens, we'll always choose the best available option to get your order to you as quickly as possible.
Yes.
We offer free standard shipping worldwide on every order, with no minimum spend required.Most orders are produced within 2–5 business days before shipping.

Australia: 5–10 business days
United States: 4–8 business days
United Kingdom: 4–8 business days

These timeframes are estimates and may vary during busy periods.
Yes. As soon as your order ships, we'll send you a tracking email so you can follow its journey from production to your doorstep.
t's normal for tracking to take a day or two to update after your parcel has been collected. If your tracking hasn't changed for several days, or you think something isn't right, contact us and we'll investigate with the shipping carrier.
Depending on your country, you may be required to pay customs duties, VAT or import taxes when your order arrives. These charges are determined by your local customs authority and aren't included in your purchase price.
Products
Yes. Every Backroom Gear product is made especially for you after you place your order. This helps reduce waste, avoids unnecessary overproduction, and allows us to offer a much larger range of designs, colours and sizes.
Our blank garments are sourced from trusted manufacturers around the world. Printing and fulfilment take place at one of our production partners located closest to you whenever possible, helping reduce delivery times while maintaining consistent print quality.
Our garments are printed using high-quality direct-to-garment (DTG) printing. With proper care, your print will remain vibrant for years. We recommend washing garments inside out in cold water and avoiding high heat in the dryer to maximise their lifespan.
Colours can appear differently depending on your screen or device settings. Because every item is individually printed, there may also be slight variations in print placement or colour compared with the product photos. These small differences are a normal part of the production process.
Product Care
To keep your tee, tank or crop top looking its best, we recommend:
Wash cold, inside out, on a gentle cycle.
Use mild detergent and avoid bleach where possible.
Skip fabric softeners and dry cleaning.
Tumble dry on low, or hang dry for the longest life.
If ironing, turn the garment inside out and never iron directly over the printed design.
Our garments are printed using premium direct-to-garment (DTG) printing. Following these care instructions will help keep the colours vibrant and the print looking great for years to come.
About Backroom Gear
Backroom Gear is an independent LGBTQIA+ clothing brand created by two Australian husbands who wanted to design the kind of gear they couldn't find anywhere else. Our designs celebrate bears, leather, pups, Pride and queer culture with a mix of humour, nostalgia and a few cheeky inside jokes. Whether you're heading to a street fair, your local bar, a weekend event or just grabbing a coffee, our goal is to create clothing that lets you wear your community with pride.
Not at all. Some of our designs celebrate specific communities like leather, pups or hanky culture, while others simply celebrate being a bear, being queer, or having a good sense of humour. Wear what speaks to you. There are no membership cards here.
