About

We are idiots on purpose.

That distinction matters more than anything else on this website, so we'll get it out of the way first.

Poor Judgment Co. makes heavyweight cotton tees with things printed on them that we cannot defend. The designs are stupid. The garments are not. That's the entire company.

The reason we're specific about it: almost every funny shirt you can buy is a joke printed on an apology for a garment. Thin, shrinks a size in one wash, print cracking by the second wear. You get your laugh once and then it lives in a drawer. We thought that was a strange way to treat a customer who just spent money to be funny.

So we started with the blank. Heavy cotton, boxy cut, dropped shoulders, a ribbed collar that has a spine, double-needle hems, preshrunk. Screen printed, because the joke should die before the print does. Then — and only then — we put something regrettable on it.

The test we use: if you removed the graphic entirely, would you still want the shirt? If the answer is no, we didn't make a shirt. We made merch.

Everything decorative on this site is a joke. Nothing load-bearing is. Your order, your money, your returns and your data are handled completely straight, by people who find that contrast considerably funnier than a whimsical 404 on a shipping page.
