History

Headline Shirts was founded in 2004 by San Francisco–based designer Atticus Von. The brand quickly gained attention for its subversive, media‑commentary apparel, often described as a wearable version of the Colbert Report. In the early 2010s the brand was regularly featured in outlets such as Boing Boing, San Francisco Bay Guardian, Modern Luxury, NOTCOT, and Tcritic for its prominent, witty designs.[1][2][3][4][5]

Partnership

In 2024, Headline Shirts partnered with Solid Threads, a San Francisco–based apparel curator, allowing the brand's 150+ top designs to be sold on ultra‑soft signature blend T‑shirts, hoodies, long‑sleeves, hats, and kids’ sizes.[6] Solid Threads offers benefits like free returns, friendly customer service, and a 100 % satisfaction guarantee. In addition, the brand has been carried by retailers such as Tees.ca and Nerd Kung Fu, further expanding its reach.[7]
