Favorite Son-In-Law & In-Laws Hats

FAVORITE SON-IN-LAW is a stock gag-gift phrase: it sells on mugs marketed as a gift from the mother-in-law, for a birthday, for Christmas or for the groom at the wedding, and on tees the son-in-law hands back to his mother-in-law. This collection lets the in-law wear it first. Every line here is spoken by the in-law about themselves, so it works at the exact family table it describes: Thanksgiving, a wedding weekend or a Sunday dinner. The two badges, FAVORITE SON-IN-LAW and FAVORITE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW, are the anchor. THE BEST CHILD IS ME ACCORDING TO MY MOTHER-IN-LAW is a brag already selling on shirts, claimed by someone who is not technically her child. MONSTER-IN-LAW answers a joke genre with its own Wikipedia entry and a stage tradition running through Les Dawson and Jim Davidson; the line about telling her to make herself at home, so she sold the place, was in print by 1960. The mother-in-law wears it herself. OUTLAW IN-LAW sits in an arch, the family nickname doing the work. SON-IN-LAW STILL ON PROBATION is the new husband's honest assessment, and MOTHER-IN-LAW I DON'T MEDDLE I ADVISE is the denial every mother-in-law has practised. BROTHER-IN-LAW and SISTER-IN-LAW get their own lines for the relatives who arrived with the marriage. MONSTER-IN-LAW and SON-IN-LAW STILL ON PROBATION each have a second colorway. Every hat is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat, easy to wrap and hard to be offended by, which is the point of a family gift.
