A tee that behaves like an heirloom — only friendlier.

Somebody is going to ask you to do this one for exposure, and you are going to point at your chest instead of answering. That is the entire function of this shirt.

The hat is drawn glossy and self-satisfied, the kind of prop a cartoon villain twirls a cane next to, sitting on top of a tiled wall of dollar signs that never lets up. It is not subtle about money and it is not trying to be. PAY ME runs underneath in thick black-bordered caps, the kind of lettering built to be read from across a room, because the message is not for the person standing next to you. It is for whoever is stalling on an invoice. Wearing it is less a statement than a receipt you have already sent.

If turning your rate into a joke isn't your idea of funny, go find something in calm or minimal instead, before this one starts billing you for reading it. Everyone else: the red behind the hat runs opposite forest green on the wheel, so it plants itself easily next to a green jacket, black denim, or plain stone chinos without a fight. The print itself is water-based DTG, cured low, which means the hard black outline stays crisp instead of cracking into the cotton after a few washes.

Wear it to the meeting where you're finally going to say the number out loud. You'll notice you don't flinch saying it twice.
