small batch / large regret

// Our story, allegedly

When life gave us lemons, we drew them.

DUDS started as a list of bad ideas on the back of a parking ticket. It is, in many ways, still that list. We make tee shirts featuring cartoon lemons doing things they're not qualified to do — racing NASCAR, launching motocross bikes off cliffs, founding small clothing brands.

Every shirt is heavyweight cotton, screen printed in small batches, and shipped with at least onespelling mistakeon the receipt. We consider this a feature.

If a shirt is funny, we print it. If it isn't, we usually print it anyway. The bar is in hell and we are committed to maintaining its location.
