Where it started.
The Original Patch Worthy Logo T-Shirt brings together two pieces that became part of the identity of Scum Clothing: our original logo and the first appearance of our mascot, Patch Worthy.
Patch Worthy is our worn and patched teddy bear. He represents a simple idea: your condition does not determine your worth.
Think about a childhood teddy bear. It can become faded, damaged, stitched back together and carried through years of life, but a child does not suddenly stop loving it because it is no longer perfect.
Patch represents the same thing in us.
We get hurt. We make mistakes. People judge us. We carry scars and go through seasons where we might not feel like the best version of ourselves.
None of that makes us less worthy of love.
That belief is also behind the Scum Clothing logo. The line through our name represents rejecting the negative labels people try to place on us. What somebody calls you does not have to become who you believe you are.
We believe you were created in God's image. Your value existed before somebody formed an opinion about you.
This tee is where those ideas first came together.
Made from 100% ring-spun cotton, the heavyweight Comfort Colors 1717 blank has a relaxed fit and garment-dyed finish that gives it a soft, worn-in character from the beginning. The slightly vintage feel fits naturally with Patch Worthy's imperfect, patched-up aesthetic.

About the garment-dyed finish
The garment-dyeing and softening process gives this t-shirt its lived-in, slightly vintage character. Small differences in color are natural and make each garment slightly unique.
Fit note
The Comfort Colors 1717 has a relaxed fit with a slightly roomier silhouette than a standard fitted tee. Choose your regular size for the intended fit, or size up if you prefer a more oversized streetwear look.
Made for you
Production starts after your order is placed rather than manufacturing large quantities upfront. Making pieces on demand helps reduce unnecessary overproduction, which means your order may take a little longer to prepare.
