IMPROPER COTTON / SIGNATURE CHARACTER

THE FACE OF
IMPROPER.

Meet the little troublemaker who looks like he already knows he's getting kicked out. The IMPROPER COTTON Signature Smiley Character Graphic T-Shirt puts our winking, tongue-out streetwear character front and center — snapback on, hoodie up, oversized sneakers planted and peace sign thrown.

Built from 100% premium cotton, this is the lighter, breathable side of Improper Cotton: comfortable enough for everyday rotation while the oversized character artwork keeps it nowhere near basic.

01 / THE CHARACTER

WINKING.
TONGUE OUT.

Some brands need a mascot with a complicated backstory. Ours just needed an attitude problem.

The Signature Improper Cotton character mixes cartoon energy with streetwear styling: a winking face, tongue out, backwards attitude, snapback, hoodie, exaggerated sneakers and a peace sign that may or may not actually mean peace.

Playful enough to be funny. Improper enough to belong here.

Proper behavior was never part of the character design.

03 / WHY IT'S DIFFERENT

NOT ANOTHER
SMILEY FACE.

01
Signature Improper Character
A recognizable original character gives the shirt its own identity instead of relying on generic smiley artwork.
02
Full Streetwear Personality
Snapback, hoodie, oversized sneakers, wink, tongue and peace sign turn the character into a miniature version of the brand itself.
03
Premium Cotton
100% cotton construction keeps the shirt soft and breathable enough for everyday rotation.
04
High-Definition Artwork
The character graphic is designed to stay visually crisp and detailed instead of disappearing into the black shirt.
05
Everyday Streetwear Fit
Wear it true to size for the intended clean streetwear drape or size up when you want a looser oversized graphic-tee silhouette.
04 / SIGNATURE IMPROPER

THE BRAND
HAS A FACE.

Logos identify a brand. Characters give it a personality.

The Improper Cotton character was built around the same idea as the clothing: expressive, playful, a little inappropriate and completely uninterested in looking proper.

If Proper Is Overrated needed a face, this would probably be it.

05 / CHARACTER STREETWEAR

CARTOON ENERGY.
STREETWEAR ATTITUDE.

For people searching for a smiley face graphic T-shirt, cartoon streetwear shirt, character graphic tee, black graphic T-shirt, alternative streetwear tee, tongue-out smiley shirt or independent streetwear brand T-shirt, the Signature Character gives the familiar smiley concept a distinctly Improper identity.

It's weird enough to stand out and wearable enough to stay in regular rotation.

06 / STYLE IT

LET THE CHARACTER
DO THE TALKING.

01
Distressed Denim
Washed or distressed jeans match the rougher streetwear personality of the character artwork.
02
Relaxed Cargos
Loose cargos reinforce the character's oversized sneaker-and-hoodie streetwear aesthetic.
03
Heavyweight Hoodie
Use the lighter cotton tee as a graphic layer underneath heavier Improper Cotton fleece.
04
Oversized Sneakers
Or just steal the character's entire outfit. He seems pretty confident about it.
07 / CARE

KEEP HIM
LOOKING IMPROPER.

01Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors
02Tumble dry low or hang dry
03Wash with similar colors
04Do not iron directly over the character graphic
05Gentle care helps protect the cotton and printed artwork
