IMPROPER COTTON / GRAPHIC SERIES

SMILE.
IMPROPERLY.

The IMPROPER COTTON Orange Smiley Heavyweight Graphic T-Shirt takes familiar retro smiley imagery and gives it an Improper Cotton attitude. Orange-and-teal artwork hits the front while the back carries oversized crown, IMPROPER COTTON and ShopShirts.online branding.

Built from 100% cotton at 260 GSM / 7.7 oz, this black graphic tee combines a loose silhouette with bold front-and-back artwork for streetwear that refuses to behave like another basic logo shirt.


01 / THE GRAPHIC

HAPPY FACE.
BAD INFLUENCE.

A retro-style orange-and-teal smiley dominates the front, surrounded by PROPERLY MADE FOR THE IMPROPER and IMPROPER COTTON branding. Turn around and the shirt changes completely with a large white crown graphic, IMPROPER COTTON lettering and ShopShirts.online.

Nostalgic enough to feel familiar. Improper enough to make sure it isn't.
