About

The best line anyone ever said to you was said in a bar, and you have forgotten it.

That is the whole problem. Every table in this country produces two or three perfect sentences a night — something a mate says at eleven, in Afrikaans and English at the same time, that everybody repeats for a week and then loses forever.

We were at one of those tables. Someone said something. We laughed for an embarrassingly long time. Then somebody said it should be on a shirt, which is what people always say, and which is normally where it ends.

We wrote it down instead.

KAK LARNEY is a catalog of shirts, each one a line that actually got said out loud by somebody. One typeface. One or two colours. No graphics, no mascot, no distressing — the words are the product, because the words were always the product.

We’re two students. We print to order because we can’t afford to be wrong about which ones you’ll like.

If nobody asks you about it, we got it wrong.
