A Convenient Lie, Translated.
You know the type. Holds down a job. Makes it to every meeting — the work kind, not the other kind. Keeps it together just enough to keep the secret. High functioning. It's the most convincing story an alcoholic ever told themselves.
This shirt doesn't judge. It just translates.
Part of the Sober Translations line — apparel that says the quiet part loud, for people who've lived it, loved someone who did, or finally stopped pretending.
Wear It Like You Mean It
- 100% ring-spun cotton — soft, durable, built to last (unlike the lie)
- Sport Grey: 90% ring-spun cotton / 10% polyester
- Heather colors: 65% polyester / 35% cotton
- 4.5 oz/yd² (153 g/m²) — lightweight but substantial
