For The Days Yuh Shirt Can Talk
The expressions you already use, the jokes you recognise, and the comeback you would have made anyway. Every phrase here is real patois, not an approximation of it.
Sayings & Humor
Pick the one that sounds like you. The meaning is on every product page.
Everything here is one unisex fit, XS to 4XL — we do not cut a separate men's and women's size. Between sizes? Size up for a relaxed look.
Every phrase is explained, because a gift should land right
Each product page says what the saying means and when you would actually use it. That matters most when you are buying for someone else: a few of these are a comeback rather than a compliment, and you should know which is which before it is unwrapped. If you are unsure how one reads, email us and we will tell you straight.
Some designs carry adult language
Two of these need saying out loud. Move Yuh Dutty Bloodclaat is exactly as strong in Jamaica as it looks. Dolly Kitty Cute is the quieter kind of risk — it reads as harmless in English and is not, because kitty is a euphemism for pum pum. Both are here because people ask for them by name, and both are flagged rather than buried so you can choose that tone deliberately. Every design has its meaning spelled out on its own product page; read it before you gift one.
Spelling is deliberate
Patois is a language with its own structure, not misspelled English, and household spellings genuinely differ. We keep each design consistent with how the phrase is actually said rather than tidying it toward English. If a spelling looks unfamiliar to you, that is regional variation and not a typo.
Keep Looking
