It's not a suggestion. It's a decree.

The Gentlemen Please Refrain From Smashin' in the Kitchen Tee is for the man who has been told — once, twice, a dozen times — that the kitchen is not the place for that. The non-volley zone exists for a reason. It is a sacred space. It demands restraint, patience, and the kind of disciplined soft game that separates the truly great from the guys who just want to smash everything as hard as possible.

You know who you are.

The back graphic delivers the message with the full gravity it deserves — ornate vintage typography framed like a formal notice, the kind you'd find posted at a very distinguished club where the rules are enforced and the dinks are immaculate. Gentlemen: Please Refrain From Smashin' in the Kitchen. Elegant. Authoritative. Completely ignored by at least three people on the court right now.

Dink Apparel Co. on the front — setting standards, one tee at a time.

For the player who has learned the hard way. The partner who keeps reminding him. The coach who has given up reminding him and just bought him this shirt instead.

The kitchen demands respect. The shirt demands it louder.

Features:

"Gentlemen Please Refrain From Smashin' in the Kitchen" ornate vintage graphic on the back — formal, distinguished, and deeply necessary

Dink Apparel Co. logo on the front — clean, understated, rule-abiding

Soft, premium fabric with a relaxed unisex fit — refined enough for a gentleman, comfortable enough for someone who is trying

Lightweight and breathable — court-ready and kitchen-aware

Pre-shrunk and wash-friendly with lasting print quality

Available in 5 colorways: Heather Prism Mint, Athletic Heather, Heather Dust, Natural, and White

Every piece in our collection is made to order, just for you. It takes a little extra time — but great things at the kitchen line do too. Crafting on demand means less waste and more intention, which feels very on-brand for a player who knows that patience wins points.

 Thanks for playing the long game with us.
