HIGH FUNCTIONING SOCIOPATH T-SHIRT

A Sherlock Holmes inspired t-shirt available in black cotton.

“I’m not a psychopath, Anderson. I’m a high-functioning sociopath. Do your research.”
The High Functioning Sociopath T-Shirt is an ice-cold nod to the modern Sherlock Holmes — brilliant, unfiltered, and emotionally unavailable with style. Whether you're dissecting cold cases or just roasting idiots with logic, this shirt isn’t a fashion choice. It’s a diagnostic warning.

Inspired by the Benedict Cumberbatch incarnation of Holmes from the BBC’s Sherlock, this tee captures the cerebral chill and razor wit that turned the world’s greatest detective into a pop culture phenomenon. It's for fans who revel in intellect, speak fluent deduction, and find small talk less tolerable than serial killers.

This isn’t a shirt for everyone — and it shouldn’t be. It's for minds that never switch off, souls that love puzzles more than people, and those who understand that brilliance often walks a fine line.

Because being socially acceptable was never the goal. Solving the unsolvable was.
