Product features
The Buy A Man Eat Fish shirt from Unethical Threads is for anyone who saw that mangled proverb and thought "this is the peak of human language." Someone tried to say "teach a man to fish" and accidentally created modern poetry. You're wearing the museum exhibit.
Who Actually Wears This?
People who quote things wrong on purpose and people who genuinely can't remember how the saying goes. Both groups are welcome here.
This shirt hits hardest in group chats that communicate exclusively in memes. It's the kind of thing where someone reads your chest, pauses, rereads it, and then loses it. That delayed reaction is the whole point.
Heavyweight cotton that actually feels substantial, not that tissue-paper nonsense
Unisex relaxed fit in sizes S through 4XL
Crew neck because we're chaotic, not experimental
DTG printed so the colors stay vivid through every wash cycle you throw at it
Pairs well with a straight face and complete commitment to the bit
Does This Work As a Gift?
It's one of the best gifts you can give someone who sends you memes at 2 AM.
Birthdays, white elephant, "I saw this and thought of you" energy. If the person you're shopping for has ever sent you a screenshot of a spectacularly bad translation, this is their shirt. No card needed. The shirt IS the card.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the text on the shirt say?"Buy A Man Eat Fish, He Day, Teach Fish Man, To A Lifetime." It's a beautifully destroyed version of the classic proverb, and it's perfect.
Is this shirt true to size?It runs in a relaxed unisex fit. If you want it fitted, go with your normal size. If you want it loose, size up one.
Will the print fade after washing?Nope. It's DTG (direct to garment) printed, which means the ink is embedded in the fabric. Wash it inside out on cold if you want to baby it, but it holds up fine either way.
Where does this meme come from?It's from a screenshot of a hilariously botched translation (or autocorrect, nobody's totally sure) of "give a man a fish, teach a man to fish." The internet did what the internet does and made it immortal.
Can I return it if it doesn't fit?Yes. Check our return policy for details, but we make it easy.
