ABOUT US
So you clicked on the “About” page. Congratulations! You’re one of the 0.3% of visitors who actually does this. We’re honored. Truly.
Who We Are:
We’re justbuythedamnshirt.com, a t-shirt website born from the ancient internet tradition of “hey, wouldn’t it be funny if…” followed by actually doing the thing. We make shirts for people who appreciate a good niche reference, understand that humor is subjective (but ours is objectively better), and believe that clothing should spark at least one conversation per wearing.
Think of us as the spiritual successor to that one website you used to love that sold USB pet rocks and canned unicorn meat. You know the one. We’re trying to capture that same energy—back when the internet was weird in a fun way, not a “why is my refrigerator sending me targeted ads” way.
Our Mission:
To create shirts that make you exhale slightly harder through your nose. To celebrate the nerdy, the quirky, and the oddly specific. To prove that you can run an e-commerce site without using the phrase “synergistic brand experience” even once. (Oops, we just did. Doesn’t count though—we were being ironic.)
Our Philosophy:
Life’s too short for boring shirts. It’s also too short for overpriced shirts that cost more than a decent lunch. We believe in:
- Designs that actually make sense (to approximately 6-12% of the population)
- Quality shirts that survive more than three wash cycles
- Product descriptions that are more entertaining than they need to be
- Transparent pricing (no “retail value $500, our price $29.99!” nonsense)
- The Oxford comma, tabs over spaces, and other hills we’re willing to die on
Why “justbuythedamnshirt.com”?
Because we’ve all been there. You’re browsing online at 11 PM. You find a shirt. It’s perfect. It speaks to your soul. You add it to your cart. You close the tab. You think about it for three days. You go back. It’s sold out in your size. You have regrets.
This is us, as a website, giving you permission to skip the existential crisis and just commit. Is it financially responsible? Probably not. Will it spark joy? Absolutely. Will you wear it at least twice? We’re banking on it.
The Team:
We’re a small operation fueled by caffeine, terrible puns, and the unwavering belief that someone, somewhere, will understand our references. Our design team has strong opinions about kerning. Our customer service team actually reads emails. Our shipping department is just vibing, honestly.
A Brief History:
Once upon a time, someone thought “I should make a t-shirt website.” Then they did. You’re looking at it. This concludes our brief history.
HOW WE CREATE:
Our designs come to life through a collaboration between human creativity and AI technology. We dream up the concepts, craft the jokes, and obsess over the references—then use AI image generation to bring our ideas into visual form. Think of it like this: We’re the creative directors, the AI is our (very fast, never complaining) illustrator. The dad jokes are still 100% human-generated, we promise. Why AI? Because our imagination outstrips our drawing talent, and we’d rather spend our time coming up with brilliant puns than learning to draw corgis. (Though we did try. The corgi looked like a potato with ears.) What matters to us: Cool designs. Quality shirts. Fast shipping. And making you smile when you read our product descriptions. If you have strong feelings about AI art, we respect that. But if you just want a funny shirt that makes your fellow nerds do a double-take, you’re in the right place.
What’s Next:
More shirts. Better jokes. Possibly a newsletter if we can figure out how to write one without immediately annoying you. World domination is not currently on the roadmap, but we’re keeping our options open.
Contact Us:
Have questions? Complaints? Want to tell us about a typo you found? (There are definitely typos.) Hit up our contact page. We actually respond, usually within 24-48 hours, unless we’re buried under a pile of shipping boxes or having an existential crisis about whether anyone actually reads these About pages.
Spoiler: You did. Thanks for that.
Legal Stuff:
Yes, we have terms of service. Yes, we respect your privacy. No, we’re not selling your data to anyone. We can barely manage our own data.
