A good T-shirt is the most dependable joke teller you will ever own. It works the grocery run, the school pickup, the airport and the backyard, and it never loses its nerve. All Soft-Style T-Shirts is where the Orange Liar characters settle into that everyday role, spread across a cheerful spread of colors from sunny yellow and sky blue to charcoal and classic black, each one ready to say something clever while you get on with your day.
Signs you can wear
Some of our favorite tees read like the notices posted by a very polite town council. Steer Clear of Captain Chaos puts the scowling white duck on black, the words stacked beside him in dusty orange like an old warning sign at a railroad crossing. Kick the Thoroughbred Ass to the Curb pairs a spiral-eyed donkey with swooping script. Leave Deadbeat Don in the Dust sends the shaggy jackal off in bright letters on white, and Keep the Cheese, Lose the Jailhouse Rat lands on buttery yellow, which feels like exactly the right color for a cheese conversation. Beware the Pied Piper finishes the set with a grinning rat in a tiny suit and a caption that reads like the sign at the edge of a fairy tale village.
Portraits in full color
The rest of the collection lets the characters pose. The Democracy Menace looks especially dapper against yellow, hands on hips, orange trousers blazing. My Open Mouth Spews Lies gives the bug-eyed pig a sky blue background that makes his flame of hair pop, while Sir Complains a Lot huffs on crisp white. Crime Boss and In Bacon I Trust both shine on black, their glossy orange hair catching the light like a spotlight at a press event. Just One Little Sip stares out from charcoal with those spiral rainbow eyes, looking as if he has already had the little sip and several of its friends.
For the one who says it with a smile
This collection is for the woman whose closet runs on favorite tees and whose conversations run on wit. She would rather wear the joke than shout it, and she likes the kind of design that gets a slow grin from a stranger in the checkout line. At the Saturday farmers market she wears Keep the Cheese, Lose the Jailhouse Rat while choosing an actual wedge of cheddar, and the cheesemonger is the first to laugh. Her T-shirts do the talking. She just picks which one gets the floor today, and the rat, for once, is not invited.
