Old's Cool

Stand up straighter.

This one says it all: Common sense. Nerve. Backbone. Self-reliance. Perseverance. Integrity. 3 o'clock-in-the-morning courage. Seriously, why not flaunt your lack of political correctness with wit and style, and a little grit to boot?

Our 100% cotton, Made-in-the-USA Uppityshirt is not distressed, pre-shrunk, or faked to look like you've worn it forever, because you haven't. We believe you can't buy character. If you want your Old's Cool to look old school, you know what you have to do — wear it out into the world and make something of yourself.

Got recalcitrance?

We actually designed this gem for our kids, but they quickly sold out (the t-shirts, not the kids). Due to overwhelming demand, we've brought it back, but this time for "grown-ups".

You mustache yourself a very simple question, then — does obstreperous fit you to a Tee? Yes, of course it does. But if you're not sure of your size, click right here.

I'M RIGHT.

This is not a political statement.*

It's a fact. In black and white. About everything. All the time.

*Here's our first ever, kind-of political statement, such as it is.

Backwards K

Uppityshirts fit big hitters to a tee.

A strikeout in baseball is scored as a "K". A called third strike i.e. when you go down looking, is written as a Backwards K, the ultimate embarrassment, ignominy. Sporting this Uppityshirt is ironic of course, since you're the major-league type who always swings for the fences.

Try some tongue-in-cheekiness on for size!

Our outstanding, unisex short-sleeve Uppityshirts are 100% combed cotton, pure American excellence that fit major leaguers to a Tee. Order your normal size (fit is flattering, but not too snug), or if you're into numbers and charts and stuff, click right here here.

I was playing One Up!® with some friends the other day when one of them took my ORE and put down the word "HOER". We all looked at him, with disdain. "Someone who hoes" he replied. That's the kind of grammatically correct I'm talking about.

Can't buy me love?

For a fab wedding I went to in town recently, I designed this Have a Ball Marriage Jar as an impish gift. Someone sly and wise told me when I got married back in '93 that should I put a penny in a jar every time we f@#%ed the first year, and take a penny out every time we did it after that, we'd never empty the jar. Not true!

A penny for your thoughts: some of these testimonials are almost obscenely funny.
