A bold statement for those building something bigger than today.

This empire shirt is for the founder who's still up after everyone else has logged off, building something the org chart doesn't show yet. It's an original RaZits design on a soft, classic-fit men's tee in Black, White, or True Royal, and it works as a straightforward gift for anyone chasing their own version of bigger.

The design: a message, not a logo

Empire in the Making is the phrase that gives this shirt its name — a bold line in clean, confident typography that speaks to legacy, ownership, and long-term vision, for someone playing a longer game than this quarter.

It reads less like a brand and more like a decision already made: the empire isn't finished, but the direction is.

Made from soft, midweight cotton

• 100% combed and ring-spun cotton, 4.2 oz/yd² (142 g/m²), for a soft, midweight everyday feel
• Pre-shrunk fabric, so the fit stays consistent wash after wash
• Side-seamed construction instead of tube-knit, for a cleaner fit through the body
• Shoulder-to-shoulder taping at the neckline and shoulder seams, so they hold their shape instead of stretching out
• Tear-away label, so there's nothing scratchy to cut out
• Available in Black, White, or True Royal, sizes S–2XL
• Machine wash cold inside out, tumble dry low or hang dry, and skip the bleach and high heat

Who it's for

Side-hustle founders, first-time business owners, and the friend who talks strategy at dinner even when nobody asked. It works as casual wear for a weekend of building, a low-key day at the office, or just because someone needs the reminder that the plan is working even when it doesn't look like it yet. As a gift, it suits a friend's birthday, a first year in business, or the holidays.

Quick answers

What's the fit like?

It's a classic-fit men's tee in sizes S–2XL — order your usual size, and see the size guide next to the size options for exact measurements.

Will the white shirt be see-through?

The fabric can run slightly sheer in white or under bright light, since ring-spun cotton is thinner than a heavyweight tee. Black or True Royal give more coverage if that matters to you.

How do I pick my size?

Use the size guide next to the size options: match your chest to the body-measurement row, or compare the garment length and width to a tee you already own and like the fit of.

Will it arrive in time for a gift?

This shirt is made after you order it, not pulled from a shelf, so check the delivery window under Shipping and returns and leave a few extra days before a fixed date.

Size guide

Product measurements are the garment laid flat; chest is your body measurement, not the shirt's. Sizes may vary by up to 2″ (5 cm).
