Bourbon-Owned Brand
Description
Somebody's gotta do it. Might as well be you.
Every group has one. The one who orders the second round when everyone else is being sensible. The one who says "one more" and means it. The one who shows up to the party with the good bottle and absolutely no regrets about what happens next. You're not a bad influence — you're a necessary one.
Somebody has to set the bad example. You've accepted the calling.
Perfect For
The bourbon lover who wears the title with pride.
You're not the responsible one and you stopped pretending to be years ago. You're the reason the night gets interesting. You're the one people call when they want a good time and the one they blame when things go sideways — and you're perfectly fine with both. You've got a glass in hand, a grin on your face, and absolutely no intention of being anyone's cautionary tale.
For whiskey nights, backyard hangs, bar crawls, birthday parties, and anyone who has ever been told they're a bad influence and took it as a compliment.
Someone has to do it. You're welcome.

Care Instructions
• Machine wash cold (30°C or below), inside-out, on a gentle cycle with similar colours and a mild detergent.
• Use non-chlorine bleach only when needed. Avoid fabric softeners.
• Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to help preserve the garment’s quality.
• If ironing is required, turn the garment inside-out and use a cool setting. Do not iron directly over printed areas.
• Do not dry clean.
Print Method
Every product is produced using advanced Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing technology and professional-grade equipment. This process allows us to achieve sharp details, vibrant colors, and complex artwork that traditional printing methods often can't replicate. The result is a durable, high-quality finish designed to look great wear after wear.
