• That'll Do, NT

    At this stage, That'll Do, NT is a one-bloke operation. A second-generation Territorian, I was born and grew up in Darwin, and after many years living in Sydney with regular stints up here, I was drawn back home permanently for a simpler life a few years ago.

    This is where my family made their lives – Bob, my dad (that’s his face on the logo), arrived here in 1969 and, like many, instantly fell in love and never left. Not even when Cyclone Tracy flattened Darwin – Dad was one of the 10,000 who remained, rigging up wrecked houses to generators with found wiring so the rebuilders had power, and using his mechanical and auto-electrical skills to keep the fleet of road trains bringing supplies into Darwin on the road.

    After we lost Mum in 2001, true to form – Dad stayed. He said he’d never leave, and he never did.

    Now it’s me, back in Darwin with my wife, two cats (Doris and Elton), and a dog named Evie who has no respect for personal space. Most of the graphic tee designs are loosely inspired by them, the Northern Territory, or just things that made us laugh too much at 11pm. That’s the vibe here: funny t-shirts, local in-jokes, a bit of Aussie humour, and a fair dose of self-deprecation.

    If you have any questions or issues, it’ll be me you’re dealing with – and I’ll do my best to provide good old-fashioned customer service. No bots, no help desk. Just me, probably replying with a cat on my lap.

  • In Case You’re Wondering

    At That’ll Do, NT, we keep it simple: decent cotton graphic tees, weird designs, printed in Australia. The inks are water-based and environmentally friendly—not that we’re here to brag about it. They’re soft to the touch and hold up in the wash, which is all anyone really wants.

    We’re not trying to be high fashion. It’s not streetwear either. If that’s your thing, good on you—but this is just funny t-shirts with Aussie humour, inspired by the Northern Territory. Stuff that makes you look twice and maybe laugh under your breath.

    If it fits and it doesn’t fall apart, that’s a win. Everything else is a bonus. That’ll do.

Our Products

  • 100% Cotton (Because Polyester’s Gross)

    All our adult unisex graphic tees are printed on proper Aussie AS Colour 100% cotton graphic tees. No weird blends, no plastic-feeling fabric. Just good-quality funny t-shirts that breathe in the Darwin heat and don’t feel like cling wrap when you sweat.

    The kids' range is printed on Gildan Kids Heavy Cotton™ Tees made with 100%, mid-weight US cotton that feels soft to the touch and a great choice for any season.

  • Water-Based Printing

    Designs are printed using water-based inks - soft, long-lasting, and won’t crack like those dodgy iron-ons from the ’90s.

    The colours stay crisp, and the print feels like part of the graphic tee, not some sticker awkwardly stuck on top.

  • No Nasty Stuff - No Fast Fashion BS

    Printing’s done right here in Australia using water-based inks that are better for your skin and the planet. No harsh chemicals, no cheap shortcuts - just a solid print that holds up after real wear.

    Every shirt’s made to order, so there’s no overstock, no waste, and no room for size swaps or returns. We don’t have a warehouse or a rack of spares, and we’re fine with that. Fast fashion already sends enough unworn clothes to landfill every year to dress a small country - we’d rather not add to the pile.

  • My Creative Process

    I knock these designs together from the usual Darwin stuff… humidity, mango madness, weird birds yelling at 3am, that sort of inspiration. Each one gets poked and prodded through whatever mix of tools I’ve used over the years. Nothing fancy. Just enough to get the job done.

    End of the day, the only thing that matters is the tee you pull out of the wash: Darwin-made, has a bit of attitude, and looks like it came from someone who’s lived here long enough not to sound gammon calling themselves a local.

FAQs

What are graphic tees?

Graphic tees are t-shirts with printed designs, logos, or artwork. Ours are Darwin-made, featuring NT-inspired designs like crocodiles, curlews, and mangoes — all printed on 100% cotton.

Are your t-shirts good for hot weather?

Yep. They’re AS Colour cotton tees — breathable, lightweight, and designed for Darwin heat. No weird blends, no plastic-feel fabric.

Where can I buy funny NT-inspired t-shirts?

Right here. That’ll Do, NT specialises in locally inspired funny graphic tees featuring Territory wildlife, food, and the occasional poor life decision.

Do you sell vintage-style graphic tees?

Yep. Many of our designs use retro, vintage-style artwork — think old tea towel vibes with NT flavour.

What brand are your T-shirts?

Mostly we use AS Colour 100% cotton tees. They’re known for being high-quality, comfy, and built to last. For the kids' range, we use Gildan 5000B - Made with 100%, mid-weight US cotton that feels soft to the touch and a great choice for any season.

What printing method do you use?

Designs are printed with water-based, eco-friendly inks. They’re soft to the touch, long-lasting, and free from harsh chemicals.

Is your packaging environmentally friendly?

Yes. Orders are shipped in biodegradable or recyclable packaging, so you can feel a bit less guilty about online shopping.

Where do you ship from?

All T-shirts are printed and shipped from within Australia.

How long will my order take?

Most orders are printed on demand and ship within 3–7 business days, plus standard delivery time. This is why I don't even bother offering express postage! This is not Amazon Prime.

Do you offer free shipping?

Yes — free shipping applies to Australian orders of $200 or more (excluding posters).

What's the deal with Tote Bag and Tea Towel shipping?

Tote Bags and Tea Towels are currently sourced separately to tees, so they will incur their own separate shipping charge - unless you purchase $200 or more (excluding posters) - then shipping is FREE.

What about international orders?

International orders don’t qualify for free shipping. Shipping costs and times will be shown at checkout.

Do you do discounts if I grab a few tees?

From time to time we do bundle discount offers. When we do we'll offer them to customers who have signed-up to the newsletter, and these will be exclusive to subscribers.

What is your exchange policy?

Every shirt’s printed to order, so we don’t do size swaps or returns. There’s no warehouse, no rack of spares, no magical exchange fairy.

If it doesn’t fit, we get it – that’s annoying. But that’s also how we keep waste low, prices fair, and our sanity intact. Fast fashion already sends enough unworn clothes to landfill every year to dress a small country, so we’d rather not add to the pile.

So please check the size chart before you click “buy.” Measure twice, order once. We’re not ASOS.

But if we stuff it up? We’ll fix it.

If your item arrives damaged, misprinted, or you’ve received the wrong thing, we’ll sort it with a replacement or refund - no dramas.

See our refund policy for further details.

Do you do PayPal or afterpay?

Yes. I will happily accept your money via any means necessary! Credit Card, PayPal, afterpay - they're all available at the checkout.

What’s the deal with poster shipping?

Posters ship separately from a different printer to the T-shirts. Shipping is always charged on posters, and they don’t count toward the free shipping over $200 offer for Australian customers.

If you also order T-shirts or other gear, those items can still qualify for free shipping if they hit $200+ on their own, and you are an Australian customer. The poster will always have its own postage charge.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. We ship to most countries. Shipping times and rates vary depending on location and will be shown at checkout.

Do you want to collaborate, cross-promote, or buy SEO services?

Probably not. If it's a genuine collaboration (and not you trying to flog me services or products), I'm prepared to hear you out.

Do you sell other types of T-shirts e.g. Kids sizes, V-neck or scoop neck, tank tops etc?

We do a few baby jumpsuits and now offer a few designs in kids' sizes (yay!) - but if you would like one of my designs on a different type of T-Shirt than the unisex AS Colour shirts we print on - send me a message via the Contact form - style, colour, size, design etc - and I'll do my best to accommodate your desire.

Can I cold pitch you marketing, design, or business growth services?

You can, but it will go straight to the bin.
