Chicago Handshake Malört Chicago Old Style Shirt

The Chicago Handshake Malört Chicago Old Style Shirt celebrates a very specific piece of local culture that outsiders rarely understand on the first try. Referencing the infamous pairing of Malört and Old Style, the design captures Chicago’s dry humor, toughness, and unapologetic sense of identity. It’s not just a drink order—it’s a rite of passage, and this shirt wears that meaning plainly.

This shirt is made for Chicago locals, long-time residents, and anyone who truly appreciates the city’s barroom traditions. It’s most often worn during social outings, nights at neighborhood bars, or casual get-togethers where shared cultural references matter. The tone is insider-focused and humorous, making it instantly recognizable to those in the know while remaining curious to everyone else.

Constructed from 100% cotton, the shirt offers a breathable, comfortable feel that holds up well during long nights out. The unisex fit provides a relaxed, easy silhouette that works for everyday wear without feeling oversized or stiff. Printed using high-quality DTG methods, the design stays sharp and legible, even after repeated washes, ensuring the reference doesn’t fade with time.

This shirt isn’t about explaining Chicago—it’s about representing it. The humor is subtle, the reference is specific, and the message lands best with people who’ve ordered the drink, survived it, and maybe even learned to love it. Whether you’re at a bar, walking the city, or traveling elsewhere, it quietly signals local pride and cultural fluency without saying too much.
