Frequently Asked Questions

Why?

I wear a lot of scarves (not all at once) and was getting bored with the same ole stuff. So I started CAMP BOVA with the idea of designing and selling cool scarves with designs and slogans that I could wear as an alternative to t-shirts. Then someone mentioned we should do t-shirts as well...damn them.

OK, what’s the deal with the name?

Bova is a family name. "Camp" can be any definition that suits you. We like and appreciate them all: festival accommodation, summer camp, group of troops, army life, self-consciously and theatrically extravagant for the purpose of amusement.

And who are you?

I am a 26 year old filly named Jo and stand at 16.3 hands. My hobbies include going to gigs and making scarves for other people who go to gigs. I’m known for my blacksmithing skills and can rope a bull in 3 seconds flat. The rest's a mystery.

Tell me about your tees.

Our t-shirts and sweatshirts are fantastic quality made by American Apparel and Continental Clothing.

  • T-shirts are 100% cotton and incredibly soft and comfortable
  • Sweatshirts are 100% cotton (the heather grey contains 10% polyester) and combed for softness and comfort.
  • Baseball shirts are 50-50 poly-cotton and really soft and lightweight.
  • Melange jersey t-shirts are 70% cotton -30% polyester and appeal to those retro and vintage fans.

Which size, please?

T-shirts tend to be slim fitting so we recommend buying one size up. Conversely, the sweatshirts and baseball shirts are unisex American Apparel so we recommend women buy a size smaller than they would normally wear. Scarves are all one size (40”x40”).

Washing instructions?

Individual instructions are on the garments, but as a general rule we recommend washing t-shirts and sweats inside out at 30degrees, and tumble dry low. With the scarves, we recommend you roll your sleeves up and hand wash! Do not iron directly onto the design: you can iron on the reverse or put a paper towel over it. Alternatively, do what we do and get your mom to do it.

What’s happening?

We are currently working on original CAMP BOVA designs (which are looking rather spiffy at the moment) for all garments. Join our Mailing List and you’ll be the first to know when they’re up and running.

Are you looking for designers?

Sure. But only if you’re not a diva. Cos I know your type. Drop me an email at jo@campbova.com

I like one of the designs but would prefer it in another colour.

Email me at jo@campbova.com and I'll see what I can do. But no promises.

Why are there no photos of humans on this site?

We did think of using our friends as models. But they are really damn ugly. So, hey! If you want to email us a photo of you and your pals wearing our stuff, please do. The more bizarre the pose or exotic the location the better! In fact, we’d really love to see who’s buying our stuff. We may even get a photo gallery up and running. Please no nudity: there’s just no need for it and you might put me off my dinner!
