I wear t-shirts all the time. Generally, as I suspect is the same for a lot of people, I buy them locally at places around my home. The reason for this is because I am picky about the shirts and clothes that I wear. If I am paying for something I want to know that it’s comfortable, the material is soft and long lasting, and that it’s worth my money. I’ve found plenty of shirts on the Internet that I would buy, but not being familiar with the company selling the shirt sometimes makes me hesitant to spend my cash.

Sober Brat is one of those companies selling t-shirts to the online market. The selection is small, but the design work is top notch, the message is stellar, and the quality is next to none. I was quite impressed by the overall quality of the shirt. I liked what I saw online, but with my apprehensions about online clothes shopping I don’t think I ever would have made the plunge and purchased one. Now that I have one though, I couldn’t be happier about owning it.

Before I say anything else I just have to say that this is the softest, most comfortable t-shirt that I own. I have a couple of t-shirts that I used to go between as my “comfy” shirts, but this one beats them all. Despite it’s comfortable nature, it’s fashionable enough that I am compelled to wear it out of the house, even though all of my intuition tells me to keep it as lounge wear. Still, I like it too much. I would say at present I wear it in part of the time, but out just as much. In any case, it feels amazing whenever I do wear it no matter where I am.

Parents of teenagers will enjoy the message that Sober Brat offers. Think of their message as something similar to a Just Say No campaign.

According to the Sober Brat website:

-so~bri~e~ty: Abstinence from consumption of alcoholic liquor or use of drugs-as a fresh way to live life! Our clothes are for anyone who see’s strength and hope in our message! Most importantly it is our dream that the positive message this line sends to the next generation will encourage them to choose to live a fulfilled life without turning to alcohol or drugs.

The selection of t-shirts is small. There are about five or six to choose from. All of the shirts have the graphic t-shirt look. All of them range in price from $25 – $30. I chose the Blue shirt with the Japanese symbols for Courage, Believe, and Hope. They have some more girly looks I could have chosen, but this shirt was definitely my favorite. Shirts are available in sizes Small to 2XL.

When it comes to ordering you can choose to have your shirts shipped UPS or USPS. Based on the shipping calculator, one shirt to my house sent by USPS at the cheapest rate (you have three options to choose from) was around $3.40, bringing one shirt to $28.39. I can reasonably say that Sober Brat shirts are worth it merely because the average t-shirt is now around $18-$20 and it is made from a harsher material that wears out quicker.

If you are looking for a casual fashion item for the holiday and your target range is a younger adult or a teenager you should consider Sober Brat Tees. They are comfortable, stylish, and have a great message. They might be a little pricier than your average t-shirt, but they are certainly worth it.

Holiday Recommendation Rating: 4.5
