01
You order, we print.
Your piece goes into production at the print house nearest you. Two to four days on the press, three to seven in the post, tracking number the whole way.
PAPER, COTTON & PHOSPHOR · SINCE ROUGHLY 1987
Go long
on the '80s.
T-shirts, prints and desk gear for people who miss a trading floor they never actually worked on. Printed properly. Priced in plain numbers. Shipped anywhere Stripe reaches.
Stripe checkout · Tracked worldwide shipping · Downloads in about a minute
PHYSICAL GOODS · 8 LISTINGS
The Merch Board.
Everything here is printed when you order it, by print houses in the UK, EU and US. Nothing sits in a warehouse going stale. The price on the card is the price of the thing; shipping and tax show up itemised at checkout.
INSTANT DELIVERY
Files, not freight.
Pay with Stripe and the download link is on your receipt page before the kettle boils. It lands in your inbox too. If it ever goes missing, write in and I'll resend it. No account. No app.
CURATED KITS
The starter kits.
Three ready-made sets for people who'd rather not build a desk one piece at a time. The price is the honest sum of the parts — buy the kit whole, or tap any piece to take it on its own.
CURATED VINTAGE · SOURCED BY HAND
The Vault.
Real hardware and print from the actual decade, found one piece at a time. Quantities are exactly what they say. When something sells it's gone, and the list hears about new finds first.
THE BORING BITS, DONE PROPERLY
How it works.
Three things worth knowing before you spend money with a stranger on the internet.
02
Downloads arrive fast.
Digital goods hit your receipt page and your inbox within about a minute of paying. Lost the email six months later? Write in. I'll resend it, free, no sighing.
03
Your card never touches us.
Every payment runs through Stripe over SSL. I never see the number and this site never stores it. Tax and shipping are itemised before you confirm.
Fast answers
How long does shipping actually take?
UK and US, usually five to ten business days door to door, production included. Everywhere else, seven to fourteen. Tracking arrives the moment it ships.
What if my order shows up damaged?
A photo within 30 days gets you a reprint or a refund, your pick. Sizing problems, write in and we'll sort something sensible. Detail lives in the refund policy.
Can I get my download again?
Yes. The link lives in your Stripe receipt email, and if it dies I'll resend it for nothing. Just include your order email.
Any hidden fees?
None. The card price is the product price. Shipping and tax appear as their own lines at checkout before you pay a penny.
WHO'S BEHIND THIS
One desk, one nerd.
This store is one person with a laptop and a firm belief that a 1987 trading floor was the best-looking room of the twentieth century. Green screens, paper everywhere, phones the size of bricks — all of it.
I got tired of finance nostalgia meaning blurry meme prints on tissue-thin shirts. So I design each piece properly, price it in plain numbers, and put a real payment company between your card and me.
Fun like it's 1987. Run like it's today.
REQUIRED READING
The Field Manual.
Three deep cuts from the era, for context with your cotton.
NO. 01 · THE HARDWARE
The green screen.
Before apps, market data lived on the Quotron: a green-phosphor terminal that sat on every serious desk and told you, in glowing capitals, exactly how your day was going. Our terminal tee and wallpapers are a straight love letter to it.
NO. 02 · THE DATE
October 19, 1987.
Black Monday. The Dow lost 22.6 percent in a single session, the worst one-day fall in its history. The hoodie says "I held through October" because the people who did earned the right to a heavyweight fleece.
NO. 03 · THE PHONE
The $3,995 brick.
Motorola's DynaTAC 8000X arrived in 1983: ten hours to charge, half an hour of talk time, and the single most confident object ever pressed to a human ear. It's all over our ticker for a reason.
MAIL-IN COUPON · NO STAMP REQUIRED
Get on the list.
Join and I'll send three retro trading wallpapers straight away, then a short note when something new drops. One or two emails a month at most. Leave whenever you like.
TALK TO A HUMAN
Contact the desk.
Sizing, shipping, wholesale, or an idea for a poster you'd actually buy. I read everything and reply within a business day.
The fine print.
Terms & Conditions
Who you're buying from. After Hours Trading Co. is the trading name of Hugo Goodhew, a sole trader established in England. Correspondence address: [TRADING ADDRESS]. Email: [CONTACT EMAIL]. You can also reach the desk through the contact form above. We are not currently VAT-registered; if that changes, VAT will be shown separately at checkout.
Your order. Your order is an offer to buy. A contract forms when we confirm payment and accept the order, not when payment is authorised. Prices are shown in USD or GBP; delivery costs and any taxes or import duties appear as separate lines at checkout before you pay. If we can't fulfil an order we'll tell you and refund in full.
Pricing errors. If a price is obviously wrong and we spot it before dispatch, we'll contact you and you can confirm at the correct price or cancel for a full refund. We won't quietly charge you the difference.
Physical goods. Items are printed on demand by partner facilities in the UK, EU and US, and dispatched from whichever is closest to you. Delivery estimates are our honest best guess, not guarantees, and we'll tell you promptly if something slips. Orders shipped outside the UK may attract import duty or local tax, which is payable by you.
Digital goods. Downloads are licensed to you for personal, non-commercial use. You may print them for yourself. You may not resell, redistribute, sublicense or reprint them for sale. Access links stay valid for 30 days from purchase — if yours expires, ask and we'll reissue it.
Vintage items. Items in The Vault are second-hand and sold as described, with condition shown in the photographs. Age-related wear is expected and isn't a fault. Your right to cancel under the Consumer Contracts Regulations still applies in full.
Liability. Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or anything else the law says can't be limited. Subject to that, our liability for any order is capped at the amount you paid for it, and we aren't liable for indirect or consequential loss. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights.
Law and complaints. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and disputes may be brought in its courts. If you're a consumer elsewhere in the UK you keep the protection of your local law. Complaints go to the contact address above and we'll respond within five working days. [DRAFT — reviewed for structure and UK consumer law, but not by a solicitor. Get one before scaling.]
Privacy Policy
Who's responsible. The data controller is Hugo Goodhew, trading as After Hours Trading Co., [TRADING ADDRESS]. Data questions go to [CONTACT EMAIL].
What we collect. When you order: your name, email and delivery address, collected by Stripe and passed to the print partner fulfilling your order. If you join the list: your email address. If you use the contact form: whatever you write in it. That's it — no tracking pixels, no advertising cookies, no third-party analytics.
What we never see. Card numbers. Payments are processed entirely by Stripe, under Stripe's own privacy policy, and your card details never reach us.
Visit counts. We count page and product views on our own server. No cookies, no cross-site identifiers, and we never store your IP address or browser fingerprint. If your browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal, we don't count you at all.
Why we're allowed to. Under UK GDPR: performing our contract with you (orders and delivery), your consent (the email list — you can withdraw it at any time), and legitimate interests (fraud prevention and anonymous visit counts, balanced against your privacy).
Who else sees it. Stripe (payments), Printful (printing and dispatch), and Cloudflare (hosting). Nobody else, ever — we don't sell or share your data for marketing.
Sending data abroad. Printful fulfils from the UK, EU and US, so your delivery details may be transferred outside the UK to get your order to you. Where that happens, transfers rely on UK adequacy regulations or the International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. You can ask us for details of the safeguards in place.
How long we keep it. Order and transaction records for six years after the end of the tax year they fall in, as HMRC requires. Mailing-list addresses until you unsubscribe. Contact-form messages for 12 months.
Your rights. You can ask for a copy of your data, have it corrected or erased, restrict or object to how we use it, withdraw consent, or ask for it in a portable format. Email [CONTACT EMAIL] and we'll respond within one month. If you're unhappy with our answer you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113. [DRAFT — reviewed for structure and UK data protection law, but not by a solicitor. Get one before scaling.]
Refunds & Returns
Damaged, misprinted or wrong. Send a photo to [CONTACT EMAIL] within 30 days of delivery and you choose: free reprint or full refund. You don't need to return it and you don't pay return postage.
Faulty later on. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 you have 30 days from delivery to reject a faulty item for a full refund. After that, and for the first six months, we'll repair or replace it — and if that doesn't work, you can still claim a refund. Faults are our cost, not yours.
Changed your mind. Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 you have 14 days from the day you receive a physical order to tell us you're cancelling, and another 14 days to send it back. Email [CONTACT EMAIL] — a line saying you're cancelling is enough, or use the wording below. Return postage is at your cost unless the item was faulty or wrong. We refund within 14 days of getting the item back (or of proof you've sent it), by the payment method you used. Items must come back in a resaleable condition; we may reduce the refund if they've been handled beyond what a shop would allow.
Model cancellation wording. "To After Hours Trading Co., [CONTACT EMAIL]: I hereby give notice that I cancel my contract of sale of the following goods [ ], ordered on [ ], received on [ ]. Name: [ ]. Address: [ ]. Date: [ ]."
Digital downloads. At checkout you tick to accept immediate delivery, which under the Consumer Contracts Regulations ends the 14-day cancellation right once the download is supplied. That's the trade-off for getting the files straight away. If a file is broken, incomplete or won't open, we replace it or refund you in full.
Vintage items. Second-hand goods carry the same 14-day cancellation right as anything else. Condition is described honestly and photographed, so age-related wear that's shown isn't a fault — but anything not disclosed is, and we'll refund it.
The floor. None of this reduces your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 or the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. If we can't resolve a complaint, you can ask Citizens Advice for help. [DRAFT — reviewed for structure and UK consumer law, but not by a solicitor. Get one before scaling.]
