a FAQ about the I’m Fat Let’s Party tee…
Why do you make the I’M FAT LET’S PARTY shirt in smaller sizes? Why make a shirt that allows anyone to call themselves “fat” even if they aren’t?
I thought about this for a while before I released this shirt, actually. I decided to release this shirt in every size because it’s not up to me who is “fat” and who isn’t, and besides, “fat” isn’t a bad word.
Some people have taken offense at this shirt even being made, but the vast majority of people who buy this shirt in larger sizes have not only seemed stoked that this shirt exists, but especially that it’s made in their size. I consistently sell out of this shirt in 2XL+ pretty much no matter how many I stock. People have told me that this shirt has helped them with social anxiety, that it’s helped them feel more body confident, and some people have even told me that this shirt has gotten them free drinks or gotten them laid (results may vary). But, let’s be real – it’s just a t-shirt. It shouldn’t be taken too seriously either way.
For the record, I’m one of the few t-shirt makers that makes pretty much everything in larger ladies’ and men’s sizes (up to Ladies’ 2X-Large and Unisex 5XL). Most companies my size don’t bother beyond Unisex 2XL. Need a bigger shirt than I make? Contact me and I’ll do what I can. If you want to support my work, the last thing I want to do is turn you away.
I get asked this a decent amount. It’s still early in the day, so I don’t know if this answer comes across okay. What do you think? Reply in the comments if you’d be so kind.
