Bring it home.
Three clothing ranges. A graphic novel in print. Organic cotton, printed to order — designs you won't find anywhere else.
Organic tees and hoods, printed to order in the UK — no inventory, no waste, free returns. A journal worth holding. Events worth leaving the house for. And every purchase lands in a community-owned pot that stays working for Black queer men in the UK.
Apparel.
Three ranges, fulfilled by Teemill — print-on-demand, organic, low-waste. Read what each range is for, then buy where it's printed.
BLKOUT Proud
Pride pieces — joy as a political act.
range 02Brother to Brother
Joseph Beam's revolutionary act, worn out loud.
range 03Black Queer Icons UK
Our forebears — worn into the present.
BLKOUT earns the margin, Teemill prints + ships, no inventory risk. The buying decision happens here; the cart happens there.
Drops.
Limited print runs, threshold-to-print. You commit at order; we charge once enough of us are in. No inventory, no waste.
You're not charged until the print run triggers. If a drop doesn't reach threshold, no card gets touched. More drops as partnerships confirm.
Membership.
Three ways into the cooperative. None are about influence — governance is one-member-one-vote, regardless. All are about access.
In-kind
Activity, not money
Refer, share, upvote, witness. Everyone gives something.
II£3 /mo
Sustaining
One coffee a month, given to a cooperative you can vote inside.
III£10 /mo
Patron
Same vote. Same room. More of the work that gets made because you're sustaining it.
Events.
Workshops, panels, gatherings. Tickets where they're priced; free where they're not. Sustaining and patron tiers carry concessions the board is finalising.

What we're gathering next
The full calendar lives at events.blkoutuk.com.
Courses.
BLKOUT-developed learning, delivered through BLKOUTHUB. The teacher is the headline. The first cohort is in the works.
Donate.
Any amount. No strings. Zeffy charges no platform fees, so 100% reaches BLKOUT.
Donations don't get you a vote — that's what membership is for. They just back the work. Until the button goes live, membership is the way in.
Any surplus serves the community. Never extracted.

Where this is right now
Apparel, the Compass journal pre-order, and membership are live now. Courses open with the first cohort; the donation button lands when our Zeffy setup completes. We mark each surface honestly so you know what's ready and what's promised.
