Wear Local. Feed Local.
Stay Classic.

Merlin Classics is an apparel project with no paid overhead. We design for you with care and class, make on demand with best‑in‑class materials, and — at management’s discretion — periodically support local hunger‑relief in the regions we celebrate.

We use technology and community creativity to build real goods for you that do real good. Purchases aren’t tax‑deductible — see our Charity Policy for how our independent corporate‑giving program works. Full story on the Food Outreach page.


How it Works

  1. You pick your place. Explore 150+ communities and 3,000+ products — hometowns, favorite trips, or family roots. Each name connects people to places they love.

  2. We make it on demand. Clean, vintage‑retro logos on caps, tees, hoodies, polos, totes, mugs, and more. Quality cottons and performance fabrics. Made to last; no overstock.

  3. No paid overhead. Built by supporters — IT, hosting, coding, and operations are contributed voluntarily so we can focus on great product and discretionary giving.

  4. Discretionary giving. From time to time management contributes to hunger‑relief organizations serving the regions we feature. Giving isn’t tied to a specific purchase.

Questions we get a lot

Does buying a product cause a donation?
No. Purchases are not charitable contributions. Our corporate giving is independent and discretionary, and not tied to specific sales, products, or transactions.

How does your giving work?
From time to time, and at management’s discretion, we may make contributions to reputable hunger‑relief organizations that serve regions including the communities we feature.

Do you name recipients in advance?
No. We typically announce recipients after the fact to avoid implying that purchases will generate a donation to a specific group.

Are purchases tax‑deductible?
No. You are purchasing goods from a for‑profit company, not making a charitable donation.

How can an organization be considered?
Legally recognized charitable organizations, cities and towns in good standing can email merlinclassicsstore@gmail.com with “Organization for Consideration” in the subject, including name, website, service area, and contact information. Please see our Charity Policy for requirements and guidelines before submitting. Submissions are informational only and do not constitute a solicitation.
