About us

Made by one person with a lot of opinions.

Cringe started because life is hard, therapy is expensive, and sarcasm is free.

Every line is written by me - never scraped off the internet, never bought in bulk.

Every order is pressed by hand in the UK, one shirt at a time.

If that sounds inefficient, it is. That's rather the point.

The difference is real

Us vs. Them.

Anyone can put a joke on a cheap blank and ship it from a warehouse. We write every line ourselves and press every order by hand, in the UK.
