Due to Phase 1 reopening in Washington State, we can now ship orders placed for bags. Many of you have asked when we’d be able to ship bags, so we know you’re as excited about this as we are. Read on for the full details. 

Behind the scenes of our mask-making efforts. Plus, our philosophy on how the actual work we are doing right now is more important than any words we can share with you, and a link to a public spreadsheet tracking our efforts that shares what we've been able to do so far.

We answer frequently asked questions about our production capacity, the sizing of our Reusable Cloth Face Masks, and other topics. Have questions? Always feel free to emailus@tombihn.com

UPDATES 06/16: SMALLER YOUTH PATTERN OPTIONS NOW AVAILABLE AND RACHEL'S YOUTUBE TUTORIAL ON ADDING A FILTER POCKET TO OUR MASK Hey folks! As you may know, we've been offering our Reusable Cloth Face Mask as a "buy one, donate one" for the last few months.Some of you may want to make the mask at home yourselves instead of buying one from us. Makes sense to us. While we've gotten pretty efficient at making masks, we know that it's really the combined efforts of home sewers and small shops all across the country that will ensure that everyone who wants a cloth face mask...

We’re still accepting your online orders! When you place an order through our website for in-stock bags, we’re treating your order as a pre-order; the order you place reserves the bag you’ve ordered with a TBD shipping date. Anytime up until a few days before your order ships, you can add items, cancel items, or even cancel the entire order.

Small world: when our photo+video team Des & David visited with their friend Allison several weeks ago, they noticed she had a TOM BIHN bag — a Pop Tote (https://www.tombihn.com/products/pop-tote) to be exact. Allison had no idea they were making videos for us and they had no idea she had one of our bags — and that synchronicity inspired them to interview Allison about her Pop Tote, what she packs in it, and her life in general. Hope you all enjoy this video as much as we did.

Our Seattle factory is still at work — we’ve devoted our entire production capacity to efforts to make face masks for our healthcare heroes due to the shortage of medical-grade masks. For the sake of healthcare professionals, we hope that medical-grade personal protective equipment is produced and restocked as soon as possible; in the meantime, we are here and working as fast as we can to help. We're also shipping orders, answering emails and live chats. Plus, some updates on bags and debuts.

TLDR; A few months ago, we made design updates to the Icon based on your feedback. We don't know when we'll be able to manufacture new Icons so... we have restocked the Icon page with the original design Icon with a production batch we made a couple of months ago. It doesn't include the shoulder pad and we've reduced its price from $75 to $50. Read on for the full details.

We're ready to help the efforts to protect our healthcare heroes by simple "surgical style" face masks to be worn over N95 masks in an effort to extend their life.  

If you work in healthcare or government and are facilitating/organizing efforts to manufacture masks and other PPE, please feel free to contact us to see what we can make. Contact Nik Dukich (COO at TOM BIHN) via text or voice at 206-669-4330 or email masks@tombihn.com.

Now through whenever, we’re going to include a complimentary surprise pouch with every order. All orders shipped today (03/18) received the surprise pouch. You don’t need a code, you don’t need to ask for it: if you place an order, you'll get one.
