Shut Your Mouth Tee

Shut Your Mouth

This t-shirt is a tribute to a principle that has saved me from countless, completely avoidable screw-ups: "Shut Your Mouth." I’ve learned that silence can be a powerful ally, often more effective than words. By simply keeping my mouth shut, I’ve watched how many potential shitstorms were completely avoided.

Sometimes, nothing needs to be said. And if it does require my input, I’ve learned to pause before opening the hatch and ask myself: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary? Or can it wait for a better time or place? Silence has become a refuge when I’m surrounded by too much noise—because let’s be honest, 99% of problems can be avoided by simply keeping quiet. That last 1%? Well, that’s pure luck when I manage to get away with saying something I probably shouldn’t have.

Wearing this t-shirt is a reminder of the power of restraint. It’s for those who understand the value of pausing, thinking, and sometimes saying nothing at all. It’s a symbol of the wisdom that comes from knowing when to speak—and when to just shut your mouth.
