7 designs of the same line, so you can pick the artwork rather than settle for the first one you find.
Architects spend years explaining that they do not, in fact, just draw houses. This is the plainest of the architect designs and the one that reads best in an office.
A second architect design with heavier drafting-style lettering.
The "wouldn't even" wording makes this the most pointed of the architect designs.
Names the discipline rather than the job title — the one to pick for an architecture student.
Both words on one shirt, heavier artwork than the plain version.
Another "wouldn't even" variant, with lighter lettering than the first.
Architects get an unusually wide choice of design here — compare the lettering before picking.
Trade and profession shirts are specific on purpose. Someone who says they are an architect will not accept a near-miss title, and the closely related jobs each have their own version — that precision is the whole point of the joke.
The 7 designs here all name the same job, so pick on how loud the artwork is. Anything worn to work should read cleanly at a glance rather than crowd the chest with a second punchline.
Best for someone a few years into the work — long enough that the job has its own vocabulary and its own complaints. For a new starter it can read as presumptuous, and for someone who has left the trade it reads as nostalgia rather than a joke.
Everyone assumes the job is drawing beautiful buildings. Most of it is not. It is code compliance, budget cuts that remove the good bit, and a client who saw something on a home renovation programme and would like that instead.
The running joke inside the profession is the length of the qualification against the starting salary. Seven years is a long time to spend learning to be told the atrium has been value-engineered out.
If you are buying for someone who has just qualified, this reads as a badge. For someone twenty years in, it reads as solidarity, which is arguably better.
The wording only works when it names the exact job, so it is worth checking before you buy. Bank Teller, Barber and Bartender each have their own page with their own designs, and there are more below.
