Hats can be tricky to clean, so the best way to clean your caps is by hand-washing them. Machine-washing can ruin the shape and damage the embroidery. If you are going to wash it: Use a mild detergent (no bleach) in lukewarm water. Gently spot-clean with a damp cloth if needed. Avoid using brushes.

Fight With Purpose

Automatic donations to related charities

What's your deal, anyway?

Fair ask. We’ve been creating anti-fascist and progressive art for over 25 years. Chicago made us, but now we’re full-time nomads making art and products that espouse our beliefs in human rights and social justice. We design things for the communities we come from and the ones we fight alongside, with a portion of sales donated to causes we support. We’re stubborn, loud, and allergic to neutrality. No fascists. No excuses.

I don't see the style I want.

Most of our items are available in a wide range of sizes. Additionally, most items are available in various styles. If you see a T-shirt design you like and want it on a hoodie, check the hoodies section or use the search bar. You can also customize the style and color of most designs in the custom section of our website.

Feel free to contact us if you can't find what you're looking for, and we'll do our best to make it happen.

What causes do you give to?

We donate $1 of each item sold to non-profits and organizations supporting progressive, humanitarian, and justice-oriented causes around the world. All donations are automatically calculated and transferred to our charity partner every month to ensure compliance and timely processing.

What is your return policy?

We want you to love your Strange Gang goodies! If you're not completely satisfied with your purchase, you request a return for a refund or exchange within 7 days of receipt.

Hard "No" Energy

Some thoughts do not need capitalization or explanation. "i do not recommend this timeline" is one of them. It is the sentence that shows up after another headline drops and your body reacts before your brain can catch up. The quiet refusal. The internal note that something is deeply off and pretending otherwise feels worse than naming it.

This hat is for people living inside contradiction. Going to work, buying groceries, taking care of loved ones, while ICE raids continue, MAGA rhetoric escalates, authoritarians posture, and fascists gain confidence in public. It is for those who notice how quickly cruelty becomes background noise when enough people decide not to look too closely.

Strange Gang x EGOPROOF made this for people who refuse normalization. Not in a performative way. In a grounded, daily way. The kind that shows up in conversations, choices, and the refusal to laugh things off just to keep the peace. Awareness does not mean despair. It means clarity.

This hat does not shout. It does not ask for debate. It simply exists in your line of sight, reminding you that your instincts are valid. That noticing patterns is not paranoia. That history has never been kind to denial.

Wearing this does not mean you stop finding joy. It means you stop lying to yourself about the cost of pretending everything is fine. People have always lived full lives during unstable times. They have also paid the price when too many chose comfort over honesty. Holding both truths at once is part of staying awake.

This piece is for errands, walks, commutes, and moments when the weight of the world feels present but you still have to keep moving. It is for people who understand that rejecting the timeline does not mean disengaging from it. It means refusing to accept cruelty as normal or inevitable.

"i do not recommend this timeline" is not about being edgy or cynical. It is about being lucid. About marking the moment you realized something is wrong and deciding not to play along. This hat is for people who see it, feel it, and keep going anyway, without surrendering their values or their awareness.
