About usCulture Shock Club

Heavyweight cotton tees and long sleeves, washed dark and printed with our own drawings. A lot of them have cats on.

On the wallSad Meow Tee

We make the shirt you reach for first. Heavy cotton, washed until it looks like it has a past, printed with something worth a second look. Premium, without the luxury markup.

Hold it up to the light.

A lightweight tee is about 150 GSM, thin enough to read through when you hold it up to a window. Ours are 200 to 300 GSM. Slide the weight up and watch the words go.

You can read straight through this one.

An illustration, not a lab test.

Broken in before you get it.

A new black tee is flat and a little stiff until you’ve worn it for months. Ours are washed before they’re sold, so they arrive soft and already faded to a lived-in black.
