The Actions Speak Black Out Tee

Show us how you behave and we’ll show you what you believe. The Actions Speak Collection is all about putting the words in the background to let your actions do the talking. Tone-on-tone styling delivers a subtle message leaving no room for misunderstanding — you don’t like jerks. Neither do we. It’s why we don’t take our shoes off on airplanes, yell at the fourteen year-old referee or cut to the front of the checkout line. 

Don’t Be A Jerk is more than books, a newsletter and cool merch — it’s an idea: what if we all decided to stop being mean to each other online and IRL and had enough self-respect, dignity and integrity to be kind, courteous and respectful? We know, we know, it’s pretty radical and we’re definitely the first ones to ever have that thought. But in a world where the loudest jerks command too much attention, we think it’s high time to start acting like humans again and subtly remind the people around us that not everyone is a loud-mouthed jerk. 

A soft, everyday tee that speaks with subtle confidence. This lightweight crewneck sits just right — relaxed through the body with a classic silhouette — and carries a quiet message across the chest in a low-contrast print: “DON’T BE A JERK.” The muted black-on-black design reads like an inside joke from across the room, perfect for people who prefer their statements calm but clear. Wear it while running errands, lounging on the couch, or meeting friends for coffee — it blends with denim, layers under jackets, and holds its shape wash after wash. Ethically-sourced cotton and a smooth, tear-away label keep it comfortable for long days; reinforced shoulders and a ribbed neckline ensure the fit stays true. For those who value understated honesty and comfortable, dependable staples, this tee becomes part of the everyday uniform.
