Who Are We: What is Big Guy Drip Apparel?

Big Guy Drip targets: big and tall graphic t-shirts, men’s graphic hoodies and more clothing options in the future such as men’s camo shorts, men’s dress pants and shirts, plain hoodies for men and so much more.
Big Guy Drip Origin Story
Big Guy Drip, or BGD, was created by myself, Lamonte Harris and I’m based out of “The Lou” which explains my Saint Louis T-Shirts collection. BGD wasn’t an idea that I came up with initially. I was in between projects, but I wanted a business that didn’t relate to my current work environment, which is software development. This project allowed me to have a bit of creative freedom in ways that wasn’t just for my tattoos or random commissions.
Which goes into how I started BGD. Big Guy Drip started with my Viper Vision Trust the Process shirt design. If you know the story of my Viper Vision Trust the Process shirt design, then you know my friend Michelle who I approached with my Trust the Process tattoo design. I had two versions, one with and without the text and she recommended putting it on a t-shirt and here we are today!
Make sure you visit Michelle’s store to support love! One of her products, the Hysteria Black Cropped Hoodie is really dope, so make sure to check it out!
I almost rebranded, and I’m still considering the rebrand or creating a sister project, but the name came from me. As a big dude, I was always a bit insecure about my size; then I started working on my weight and I lost around 100lbs. I decided to add a little swag to the name, and the first thing that came to my mind was drip. Because as a big man, I got to put that shit on. Even in everyday wear, Big Guy Drip represents confidence and style.
Who and what BGD represents: Big Guy Drip isn’t just for men!
When I created Big Guy Drip, the goal was to provide accessible sizes to plus-sized bodies. Most websites that provide any form of creative shirt design usually limit the sizes to 2X and if you’re lucky 3X. I wanted Big Guy Drip to provide XXXXL shirt sizes all the way from Small up to 5X when available.
I also didn’t want to focus on just men. I had a discussion with a friend of mine and he was telling me how he’d love to buy his kid my fishing shirt and it made me think, why limit designs to just men when we can provide unisex options for all? So, I decided to make cool, funny graphic t-shirts for everyone—with inclusive sizing for big, tall, and plus-sized bodies.
Big Guy Drip Design Choices
At Big Guy Drip the designs we started with are based on my existing hobbies from boxing to fishing. As a local fisher in the state of Missouri, it was only right that I had a million fishing shirt ideas. That’s why the first fishing shirt designs started out as humorous takes on fishing culture.”
At Big Guy Drip, expected a variety of different styles – for instance a lot of people don’t know I’m a new boxing fan and a huge fan of Gervonta Tank Davis. So, it was only right that I designed a fight club shirt, but that’s not it. I’m a creative designer so everything I do has to have a spin on it. We can call this a double entendre, because it also being a boxing tee, it’s also a homage to Kdot, doubling as a Kendrick Lamar Shirt.
So, expect all the upcoming designs in the next few months to be some form of double meaning. We made that clear with our meme based funny fishing shirt, Catch Me Outside.
