Picking the best For Them products comes down to one question: do you want something you wear every week, or something that makes a point once and gets a laugh every time? The shop does both well, and they are priced and produced very differently.
For Them describes itself as queer goods made right, with a catalog of binders, underwear, gay hats, print magazine and accessories. Below are the picks worth starting with, chosen from what the shop actually publishes about fabric, fit and production — not from vibes.
Best everyday piece: the FOR THEM Long Sleeve Tee
If you buy one wearable item, make it this. It is 100% cotton at a heavy 7.1 oz/yd² with a garment-dyed finish, cut in a boxy oversized fit with dropped shoulders and twin-stitched wide neck ribbing. It is preshrunk with a tear-away label, and the description sums up the intent well: a timeless, relaxed look.
The size chart is published in full, which matters for an oversized cut. Widths run 20.50, 22.00, 23.50, 25.25, 26.75 and 28.25 inches across S to 3XL, with lengths of 28.50, 29.75, 31.00, 32.00, 33.25 and 33.50. Measure a long sleeve you already like flat across the chest and match the number rather than trusting a letter.
One caveat: it is listed as available to U.S. customers only. Browse the current apparel lineup at the For Them store.
Best fitted option: the Kiss Your Local TBoy Rib Baby Tee
The counterpoint to the boxy tee. This one is built on a Bella+Canvas Micro Rib in 52% cotton and 48% polyester at 5.3 oz/yd² (180 g/m²), described as soft, stretchy and perfectly fitted, with a modern mid-length silhouette. It is a 1x1 micro rib, sized XS to 2XL, with lengths from 18.50 to 21.87 inches and widths from 13.50 to 18.00.
If you want the same slogan in the oversized cut instead, the Kiss Your Local TBoy Heavy Faded Tank uses the 7.1 oz 100% cotton base with raw armholes, wide neck ribbing with twin stitching, side seams, shoulder-to-shoulder tape and double-needle hems, sized S to 3XL.
Between those two, you can get the same design in a fitted mid-length or a heavyweight boxy tank, which is a genuinely useful choice to be offered.
Best statement tanks
The graphic tanks are where the shop's voice is loudest. Three stand out:
- "Support Trans Wrongs" Heavy Faded Tank — listed in black, white and grey.
- "Transsexual Dyke" Heavy Faded Tank — the most unambiguous piece in the range.
- "Save a Cowboy Ride a Stud" Tank — listed in black, khaki and white.
All three are printed pieces produced through Printify and marked final sale, so pick your size carefully. They are also the items most likely to start a conversation you may or may not want to have that day, which is worth factoring in.
Worth noting what these are not: they are not vague allyship slogans printed on a cheap blank. The wording is specific, written from inside the community, and the "Support Trans Wrongs" and "Save a Cowboy Ride a Stud" designs are each offered in three colourways, so you can pick how much the print stands off the fabric. A white print on black reads loudest; the khaki and grey options are noticeably quieter without changing the joke.
Best low-cost buy: the bandanas
The bandanas are the easiest recommendation in the shop. Each is 100% cotton with the For Them logo, and importantly they are made in the U.S. rather than printed on demand. The listing describes them as ready for anything: tie it in your hair, tuck it under a hat, knot it around your neck, stuff it in your pocket, or wave it like you mean it.
Five colours are listed — lime, green, blue, baby blue and maroon — which makes them the one item in the range you can reasonably buy more than one of. They are also the only piece with no sizing risk attached, which given how much of this catalog is final sale is not a small advantage. Note they are still marked final sale themselves.
Best accessories: foam finger, rally towel and the Good Boy cap
The Sports Gay Foam Finger is a mini foam finger described, in the shop's own words, as a foam finger for your finger — made for the gay sports fan who wants everyone to know they are gay and also love sports. It is an accessory built entirely around one joke, and it commits.
Alongside it sits the "I Got Wet With For Them" Rally Towel, currently listed as pre-order and final sale. Both belong to the shop's sports issue, which is the theme For Them has been leading with on Instagram.
Novelty accessories are usually the first thing to feel like a waste, so here is the honest test: would the recipient bring it to an actual game? The foam finger and rally towel both pass, because they are functional versions of things people already carry to stadiums rather than desk ornaments. That is the difference between a joke you use and a joke you find in a drawer next spring.
For headwear, the Good Boy A-Frame is a structured, high-profile hat with an adjustable strap and a squared-off front panel. It is the A-Frame version of the first official piece of Good Boys Podcast merchandise, designed by the hosts themselves. The product page puts it plainly: maybe you love the pod, or you just enjoy a bit of praise. Two practical notes — it is tagged as a members-only product, and hat products are final sale and, for sanitary purposes, not eligible for returns or exchanges. An adjustable strap takes most of the sizing risk out, but check availability before you plan around it.
Best non-apparel pick: Autostraddle Print Issue #03
The magazine is the piece with the longest shelf life. Issue #03 — The Autostraddle Insider — is a full-colour zine of queer essays, reported features, photography, horoscopes and puzzles, described as made by and for the community and as a piece of physical queer media building on a long legacy of LGBTQ+ zines.
The buying tip is on the product page itself: add the AF+ ALL-ACCESS Quarterly Membership to your cart and you pay $0 for the magazine. Magazines are final sale and not eligible for return.
So how do you choose between all of that? A short decision path:
- Want it in rotation every week? Long Sleeve Tee, or the Rib Baby Tee if you prefer fitted.
- Want to make a point? One of the three graphic tanks.
- Buying for someone whose size you do not know? Bandana, stickers or the magazine.
- Already deep in the Good Boys Podcast? The A-Frame hat.
Before ordering, remember the two constants: most of this catalog is final sale, and the printed apparel ships to U.S. customers only.

Frequently asked questions
Which For Them product should I buy first?
The FOR THEM Long Sleeve Tee if you want something wearable, or a bandana if you want the lowest-risk entry point — it has no sizing to get wrong.
Are For Them tees true to size?
The tees and tanks are cut boxy and oversized on purpose, while the Rib Baby Tee is fitted and mid-length. Both publish full width and length charts, so measure a garment you own and compare inches rather than letters.
Can I return the wrong size?
Usually not. Most apparel, the bandanas, the hat and the magazines are marked final sale, and hats are excluded from returns and exchanges for sanitary reasons.
