Frequently asked questions
What is The 138 Way?
The 138 Way started as a creative studio, but over time, our merch took on a life of its own. Each drop is a story, a reminder. It’s every day gear for people thinking differently.
Is this a clothing brand?
Not exactly. We’re not chasing seasons or scaling a fashion label. We design thoughtful, limited pieces that say something real, and wear well in every sense.
What makes your merch different?
Every t-shirt, hoodie, or accessory we make is tied to an idea. A shift in mindset. A prompt worth remembering, wrapped in simple design.
How often do you drop new items?
No fixed calendar. When an idea feels worth wearing, we release it. Some drops are one-time only. Others return in small batches. If it resonates with you, grab it early.
Where do you ship?
Right now, we ship across the UAE and selected international destinations. We’re slowly expanding, so you can sign up for updates if you’re outside our current zones.
What if I want to return or exchange?
We keep things simple. If there’s an issue with sizing or quality, reach out within 7 days of receiving your item. We’ll do our best to make it right.
Can I collaborate on merch?
Possibly. We occasionally partner with designers, writers, and storytellers who align with our mission. Got an idea? Drop us a note via the contact form, we read everything.
