Let customers speak for us
Thank you so much for the quick delivery. Sadly my husband got called out of town for business. I will have to wait till the weekend to give this to him🫤 I am so excited to gift this to him! I know he will love it!!!! Update: Husband LOVES his shirt
Temporary hearing aide while waiting for my VA Audiology appointment! Works like a charm & gets many hand shakes & laughs. Great quality & fits like a glove. Thanks Frank! Next to my Vietnam Vet cap, I now have a favorite!
This is a nice hat. Quality is real good, very adjustable and the cup part of the hat is deep enough to fit my head but not huge like a trucker hat. And the saying fits me perfectly.
I purchased the cap for a friend of 56 who has severe hearing loss. He has no hearing in one ear & very little in his good ear. He has lost his hearing at a young age due to several surgeries to fix a cleft palate. The doctors told him if he had more surgery, he would be totally deaf. He tells people to speak loud or speak in his good ear. He says he gets frustrated when even that doesn’t work, so he just nods his head like he hears. It’s kinda sad for him, so hoping the cap message will help. Haha
Love it
This was a wonderful gift for my husband. We received it in a week. We have had a lot of compliments.
I ordered this hat as well as another hat that matches a T shirt for my husband’s birthday this month. He loves all of them! The quality of the material on all are high quality as is the artwork! Thank you for a quality USA product!
I ordered this shirt and two hats for my husband’s birthday this month. He loves all of them! The quality of the material on all are high quality as is the artwork! Thank you for a quality USA product!
My name is Daniel O'Dell
I am 62 yrs old and born and raised in Kansas City Mo
This is the story that inspired me to buy the Raised on Vinyl and V8"s shirt.
As a young boy growing up in the 60's my parents had a lot of Vinyl records of country music.
It was around 1973 when my older brother introduced me to rock and roll.
He had every vinyl records of Rush, Styx, Kansas, Peter Frampton, Kiss and on and on and on.
This it where the V8's come into the story.
My dad had a 1968 Chevy SS El Camino that was pretty fast and I love the speed that car put out.
My moms brothers all had fast cars.
In the late 70"s to early 80's when I was in High School there were cars from 50's to early 70"s being drove to school.
I remember on the weekend we would pick a spot and would meet other schools to see who had the fastest car.
I always remember it was usually the Big Block Chevy that would dominate the street.
So when I saw this shirt that was for sale I knew it was the right one for me.
So this is my story and why I had to have this shirt.
I will wear it proudly and thank you so much for coming up with it.
Thanks again
Purchased this shirt as a gift to a friend who worked as a repair technician on all of those technologies. He loved it and reports the shirt is high quality
I ordered a hat from this OLDmanism as a birthday gift to a buddy and had it shipped directly to his house. Unfortunately he never received it. When I reached out to the company for more information that may help us locate the package, Frank immediately responded with the information requested and continued to stay in touch while USPS tried to figure out who stole the package. Unfortunately they were not able to track it down and when I let Frank know, he immediately shipped a new hat to my buddy which he received and loved a week later. This kind of customer service is very rare these days especially with mail order companies..I strongly recommend purchasing from OLDmanism.
Bought for a birthday gift. Great quality. Fits nicely. He loves it.
Great
fast easy shopping great hat
Between both of us we have six replacement joints, four knees, two hips...with a set of dentures thrown in for good measure.
Yesterday we wore the hats to a two week checkup with the surgeon for the latest new knee and it was a big hit in the office.
Thanks for creating such a cool hat...and it's also very comfortable too.
Every long conversation has a point where good manners stay, but your attention quietly leaves. That is where this sweatshirt lives.
"Smile And Nod And Act Like I’m Listening" lands because it turns a private little survival skill into the whole message. The layout builds it in stages, with smile and nod doing the social work up front and act like I’m listening delivering the part everybody recognizes but usually keeps to themselves.
Built for long stretches of polite endurance: The 50/50 cotton-poly blend with medium-heavy 8.0 oz fabric gives this sweatshirt enough warmth and softness for the kind of real-life wear the joke belongs to: family visits, errands, road trips, waiting rooms, and any setting where you plan to be pleasant without donating your full attention.
Easy to wear, easy to get the point across: The classic fit and crew neckline make it simple to throw on over a tee or under a jacket. Relaxed, unfussy, and exactly right for a sweatshirt built around keeping things agreeable on the surface.
The joke reads in the right order: The smooth fleece surface helps the stacked wording stay sharp, so the eye catches the setup, the smile-and-nod move, and then the final admission. This one works best when people can read it fast and get the whole progression.
Made for repeat use: Tubular knit construction and double-needle stitching at the shoulders, armholes, neckline, waistband, and cuffs give it everyday durability. That suits a sweatshirt built around a tactic you will probably keep using.
Keeps its shape without much fuss: Ribbed collar, cuffs, and waistband help everything stay neat through regular wear, whether it is a casual layer for a quiet dinner out or your standard answer to a talkative afternoon.
Nothing extra to put up with: The tear-away label keeps the inside comfortable and out of the way. If the whole idea is low-friction social survival, the sweatshirt should follow suit.
Printed and shipped from the USA: Each sweatshirt is printed and fulfilled in the USA with dependable craftsmanship and careful handling from order to delivery.
A smart gift for: dads, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, coworkers, retirees, and anyone who has perfected the polite art of looking fully present while mentally taking the scenic route.
Smile. Nod. Carry on.
