The serious bit

Why we’re here

Cancer is incredibly serious. That doesn’t mean people affected by it have to be serious every second of every day.

Humor is not denial.

It can be relief, connection, community, and one ordinary breath in an impossible season. We make shirts for people who sometimes need to laugh at something that isn’t funny.

Everybody belongs.

Patients, survivors, people living with metastatic or chronic cancer, caregivers, family, friends, and people carrying grief. No forced bravery. No toxic positivity. Just honesty, softness, and a little nerve.

Our clothing does not cure, treat, or prevent cancer. It simply says the thing you might already be thinking.

The person behind the nerve

Hi. I’m Andrew Hager.

A Nebraska boy living in El Salvador, trying to make life a little bit more fun for the people walking through chaos.

I’m a sinus cancer survivor. I also lost my father to T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. I know both sides of the waiting room — the one where you’re living it, and the one where you’re standing beside someone you love and have no idea what to say.

Chaos & Comfort came out of that. Not inspiration. Just the need for something honest you could actually put on.

Even though I’m in El Salvador, every product is printed and distributed from the United States.
