The verse

IN THE BEGINNING GOD

“…created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.”

Genesis 1:1–3

Before there was anything to argue about, there was a word, and then there was light.

Everything that still matters begins the same way - order spoken into the formless, light into the dark.

In the beginning, God. The first line, and the one the rest depends on.

Why The Word feels different

Every print is a verse, printed exactly as written.
Worn by those who mean it
Not a trend. A statement you stand behind.

Why does it take 2 to 3 days before it ships?

We print nothing until you ask for it. Those 2 to 3 working days are the print, and they are the reason there is no crate of last season's belief waiting to be discounted.

Full answer on the FAQ page

It doesn't fit. What happens now?

Consumers in the EU, the EEA and the United Kingdom have 14 days from receiving the order to withdraw, then order the right size. There is no exchange, because there is no shelf to swap from, so Find My Size on this page runs the arithmetic against the real measurement chart before you buy.

Returns and right of withdrawal

Will the print crack or fade in the wash?

Wash it cold or at 30°C, inside out, and hang it dry. No tumble dryer, and never iron on the print. The dryer kills a print faster than the wash does, so skip it and the print outlives the season that made you want it.

Full answer on the FAQ page

When is it at my door?

Europe and the UK, 6 to 10 working days in most countries; the US, Canada and Australia, 7 to 12; the rest of the world, 10 to 30. Some countries are faster or slower, and the shipping page shows your country. Production runs 2 to 3 working days on top of that, and customs, weather and public holidays move the estimate.

Shipping times by country

Who pays if I send it back?

Return postage is yours, and a faulty or wrong item is on us. We print one piece for one person and have no shelf to collect for. In the EU, the EEA and the UK, tell us at info@thwrd.com within 14 days of receiving it, and we refund within 14 days of that, including the standard outbound shipping you paid.

What does the In the Beginning God Black & White tee say?

IN THE BEGINNING GOD with Genesis 1:1–3, the opening of the Bible, ending in “Let there be light.” Choose black or white. The front print puts the verse on the chest. The back print edition puts it on the back, with a small crown in front.

What does In the Beginning God mean?

It is the Bible’s first claim: before anything existed, God was there, and He made the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1–3 shows Him speaking order into the formless and light into the dark. In the beginning, God. The rest depends on that line.

Is there a tie-dyed In the Beginning God shirt?

Yes. The In the Beginning God Vintage & Sunfaded tee is black, tie-dyed and 260 gsm, in S to 2XL. This Black & White edition is 240 gsm, in black or white, with a front or back print.

How heavy is the In the Beginning God Black & White tee?

240 gsm combed cotton, reactive-dyed and pre-shrunk. That is heavyweight, and it hangs straight instead of clinging to the body. The Black Faded Hoodie with the same verse is 400 gsm fleece. The fabric guide compares all three weights.

Does the In the Beginning God Black & White tee run big?

It is meant to be roomy but stays true to size: an oversized drop-shoulder fit in S to XL. Size L is 63 cm (24.8 in) at the chest and 79 cm (31.1 in) long, laid flat. Our male model is 6'1 and wears L.

Is there an In the Beginning God hoodie?

Yes. The Black Faded Hoodie carries the same verse on 400 gsm brushed fleece, in smoky black from S to XL. It has a kangaroo pocket and drop shoulders.

What is the difference between the front print and the back print edition?

Front print carries the verse on the chest. Back print edition moves it to the back and leaves a small crown on the chest.

What is The Word?

The Word is a faith-rooted streetwear brand from Denmark. Heavyweight combed cotton, declarative typography, words drawn from scripture. The garment is the medium, never the meaning. It states what you serve without asking anything of the person reading it.

What sizes does The Word offer?

The Word offers sizes S through 2XL on most pieces. We use 240–260 g/m² premium combed cotton with an oversized fit. Use our Find My Size tool on each product page for guidance.

Do you offer bundles or discounts?

Yes. Pair any tee or hoodie with our Heavyweight Sweatpants and the bundle discount applies automatically at checkout. No code needed.

Where is The Word based?

The Word is based in Denmark and ships worldwide. It was founded by Thomas Finn and Krisztina Maria, a family brand built in one of the most secular corners of Europe.
