What size should I choose?
Each product page features a size chart and an advanced size recommendation tool. Simply enter your age, height and weight to find the perfect fit.
If you’re unsure, contact our team and we’ll happily help you choose the right size.
What materials are AukCliff shirts made from?
Our apparel is made from high-quality cotton or cotton-blend fabrics chosen for comfort, durability, and everyday wear.
Exact fabric details are listed on each product page.
How are AukCliff designs printed?
Many of our garments use direct-to-garment (DTG) printing, which allows detailed artwork to be printed directly onto the fabric.
This method helps preserve colour and detail while keeping the fabric soft and breathable.
Why might my shirt have a slight scent when it arrives?
DTG printing sometimes leaves a faint scent from the printing process. This is completely normal and disappears after the first wash.
Where are AukCliff products made?
AukCliff products are produced through a network of trusted fulfilment partners located in North America, Europe, and other regions. This allows us to ship orders efficiently to customers around the world.
Many products are made to order, helping reduce overproduction and environmental waste.

Do I Have to Pay Import Duties or Customs Fees?
Depending on your country, your order may be subject to import duties, taxes, or customs fees when it arrives.
These fees are determined by your local customs authority and are not controlled by AukCliff.
Most orders shipped within major regions (such as North America, the UK, or Europe) are fulfilled from nearby facilities to help reduce delivery times and minimise the chance of additional import charges.
If customs fees are required, they are typically collected by the shipping carrier when your package arrives.
If you’re unsure about your country’s import policies, we recommend checking with your local customs office before ordering.
