Delivery and Shipping

All orders are custom made by our amazing staff at our manufacturing facility located in the USA. We try our best to get your order shipped within 3 business days, but this can take longer during the holidays or if we have supply issues.

Product description

This design captures a very specific slice of recent history by showing a masked runner chasing a dangling strip of bacon like it is the ultimate prize. The character’s headband, bright outfit, and determined stride make the joke feel light and relatable. It is pandemic humor mixed with simple fitness motivation, told through a cute cartoon style that never gets mean. Fans who lived through quarantine workouts will instantly get the reference.

Someone with good taste wears this because it signals that absurd times deserve absurd coping strategies. It balances nostalgia for early lockdown weirdness with a playful appreciation for comfort food and personal goals. The vibe is charming, self aware, and a little sardonic.

• Soft hand feel across tees, tanks, hoodies, and sweatshirts
• Relaxed and wearable fit for everyday use
• Clean printing keeps the colors sharp and lines crisp
• Washes well without losing shape or detail
• The dangling bacon lure steals the scene

A tiny reminder that motivation can look ridiculous and still work.

Instantly became my favorite shirt

Print quality is insane sharp edges, colors stayed vivid after multiple washes. Fit is true to size and the cotton is soft. Got three compliments the first day I wore it.

★★★★★

Perfect gift for my partner

Arrived in two days, packaged nicely. My partner is obsessed with the art style that retro-apocalyptic look is so unique. RIPT always delivers on quality.

★★★★★

Great quality, washed really well

Washed inside-out on cold like recommended and the graphic is still crisp after six washes. The design is dark and funny exactly what I look for.

★★★★

Love it but size runs a little big

Hoodie feels premium and the artwork looks amazing in person. Runs slightly large I'd suggest sizing down. Still wearing it constantly though.

★★★★★

Supporting indie artists never looked this cool

Top-tier shirt heavyweight feel, print hasn't cracked, and the design sparks a conversation every time I wear it. Now I check the daily drop every morning.
