What's the story behind the polydragon©?
The PolyDragon© is not a public domain graphic. The Infinity-Heart is probably the most well known poly graphic, but before that came the parrot (as in, Polly wanna cracker?). Eventually, someone got creative and made the infinity-heart out of 2 parrots. Then, a man by the name of Michael Guminski came up with an idea of replacing the parrots with dragons, since he didn't much care for the parrot symbol. He eventually settled on a tribal version of dragons (which have nothing to do with polyamory, they just look cool), and gave that copyright to Villain Tees who offered the original version with uncrossed tails as a t-shirt design. A few years later, the copyright was also offered to Poly Tees, who could provide the graphic on a wider variety of apparel, but who did not compete with Villain Tees directly by not offering that graphic on the black t-shirt that Villain Tees did. About a year or so after that, Poly Tees adapted the graphic to show the dragons with crossed tails and currently holds the copyright for that design.

This graphic requires permission to use.
 

What kind of material are the T-shirts made of?
All our T-shirts are lightweight 100% cotton. Our Camisoles, Raglans and Babydoll shirts are made of 100% pre-shrunk super soft cotton. Our Bikini Panties are made of 100% baby rib cotton, combed for softness and comfort with elastic band around waist and leg openings. Our Thongs are made of 95% cotton and 5% spandex from Bella. Our Polo Shirts are made of 100% cotton. Material may vary on Custom Shirts if you request any other style of apparel. This information will be included in our Price Quote.
 
What if I want a different kind of shirt?
We offer many different styles of clothing upon request. Our most popular are the Camisole Tank Tops made of 100% cotton in black, white and pink; Sleeveless tees in black or white, and Babydoll T-shirts in black, white, kelly green, pink, red, navy, azalea or sky blue.
