Well Hello There

The feeling you get when a stranger looks at your shirt and says "wait, is that...?" — that's what we're going for. Not the obvious stuff. The things that reward a closer look.

Nerd Chic Boutique started as an accident. Jerry Witt, a motion graphics artist with 35 years in film and television production, made a shirt during a production hiatus. People kept asking about it. His daughter told him to start selling them. That turned out to be excellent advice.

The store is built around one idea: nerd culture is richer than the mainstream version of it. Our pop culture apparel pulls from pre-code horror comics, golden age science fiction, forgotten music history, cult films, and the deep cuts that genuine fans actually care about. Nothing here is chasing a trend. Everything here is something we'd actually want to wear.

Designed in Santa Monica, California. Built for nerds everywhere.

What you're getting

Our single-print cotton graphic tees are printed and shipped from the USA, typically arriving within one to two weeks. Hawaiian shirts, hoodies, and specialty items are crafted in Asia with a lead time of two to four weeks. Every product page tells you which is which, so you'll know what to expect before you order.

Pricing is straightforward: what you see is what you pay. No shipping charges at checkout, no handling fees, no surprises. Free shipping to the USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, and France.

Sizes run true to US sizing from S to 6XL on most items.

We get you

This store exists for people who've been nerds longer than it's been cool to admit it. People who recognize a reference that most shoppers scroll right past. Who can name the artist on a 1950s sci-fi comic cover. Who know exactly which movie that quote is from.

If that's you, you're in the right place.
