How This Started
It started as a few developers making shirts for ourselves. We were tired of the options: conference swag nobody chose, or generic merch that looked like someone googled "programmer joke" and called it a day. So we made our own. Stuff we'd wear.
Other people wanted them. So we opened it up, and it grew into this. We're not a faceless brand. We're developers who still go to work and write code every day, running a shop on the side because the shirts were good enough to keep going.
Who Runs It
Today Techmerch is run by Jesper, a Principal Software Developer in Denmark, alongside his day job. The designs come from the same place the jokes do: standups, incidents, code reviews and the occasional deploy that should have waited until Monday.
Who It's For
If a design needs a footnote, it's not ours. The whole point is that you already get it. A named error code, a specific git disaster, the standup that should have been an email. You recognize it instantly, or you don't, and that's the filter working as intended.
You don't have to explain the shirt to anyone. The people who matter already know.
How It's Made
Made to order. Every shirt is printed after you order it, checked, and shipped from the facility closest to you, wherever you are in the world.
Nothing sits in a warehouse, nothing gets overproduced, nothing gets wasted.
Find Your Fit
Two ways to get the size right before you order, with charts in inches and cm.
