The Chicken Shop Tee

We Were Here Before The Chicken Shops

A playful nod to Black British presence, culture and history.

This design blends vintage heritage typography with unmistakably UK humour, turning a familiar high-street landmark into a statement about belonging.

Bold, witty and instantly relatable, it’s the kind of shirt that gets a second look, a smile, and a knowing nod.

Designed with a distressed streetwear aesthetic and plenty of attitude, this piece reminds people that Black communities didn’t just arrive—we’ve been part of the story all along.

How to Not Ruin Your New Favourite Shirt:

Cold wash only — hot water is for people who like shrinking things
Turn it inside out before washing (that graphic isn't going anywhere if you look after it)
Gentle detergent only — this cotton is garment-dyed and laid back, treat it accordingly
First wash may bleed a little, so keep darker colours away from anything white or precious
Don't use bleach. Your shirt doesn't need it and won't forgive it
Skip the fabric softener — it messes with the feel and the fabric doesn't need help
Tumble dry low, or better yet hang it up and go do something fun
Air dry when you can — it's better for the shirt and better for the planet
Pull it out of the dryer as soon as it's done or you'll be de-wrinkling all day
Dry cleaning is a hard no
