Chicago Handshake Tee, Streetwear Style Humor Shirt

This lightweight tee celebrates one of Chicago’s most infamous inside jokes — the Chicago Handshake. The tradition pairs a shot of Malört with a classic Chicago-style beer, a rite of passage locals use to test (and toast) newcomers. This shirt brings that moment to life with a bold, graffiti-inspired graphic featuring two streetwise characters — a Malört bottle and a Chicago beverage can — bumping fists in true city fashion.

Vibrant splashes, comic-style shading, and urban color pops give the design an energetic feel against the crisp white cotton. It’s a shirt that stands out at neighborhood festivals, late-night hangs, or any time you want to rep Chicago pride with a wink. The lightweight Airlume cotton keeps you cool during humid summers, while the retail fit and clean neckline pair effortlessly with jeans, joggers, or a layered button-down.

Ethically made and REACH certified, this tee delivers comfort, style, and a little local folklore — all in one wearable piece of city culture.
