More Than a Shirt: A Message You Get to Wear

At Alex And Andy, our shirts are not created in a factory of trends. They are created in moments of intention, patience, and purpose.

Every design begins with Uncle Andy. After his stroke, Andy relearned how to draw using his left hand after suffering right sided paralysis. What once felt impossible slowly became a new form of expression. Line by line, word by word, he turned recovery into creativity. 

Today, every shirt design you see starts as a hand-drawn message. It's rooted in resilience, hope, and belief.

Designed With Heart

Our shirts carry simple but powerful reminders:

You are worthy.
Keep going.
Live with purpose.

They are gentle messages for the days you feel strong and the days you don’t. Each design is intentionally imperfect in the most beautiful way, because they come from real hands, real healing, and a real story.

Who Our Shirts Are For

Our shirts are for:

• The ones healing from something unseen.

• The ones learning to love themselves again.

• The ones who choose kindness.

• The ones who keep showing up.

• The ones who want their clothing to mean something.

They are for anyone who believes words can lift a heart, and that a small reminder can make a big difference.

What We Hope Happens When You Wear Them

We hope when you wear an Alex And Andy shirt, you feel seen.

We hope you feel comforted, encouraged, and connected.

We hope someone reads your shirt and feels a little less alone.

We hope conversations start.

We hope smiles spread.

We hope your shirt becomes a reminder — not just to others, but to yourself — that your story matters too.

More Than Fabric

Every shirt comes with a handwritten thank-you card from Andy, because gratitude is at the core of everything we do. When you open your order, we want you to feel the love behind it, not just the product. Andy enjoys staying busy during the day by writing customers thank you cards, which has dramatically improved his motor skills and mental health!

Because this brand is not about selling shirts.

It’s about sharing hope.

Thank You for Wearing Our Story

When you choose Alex And Andy, you are choosing to wear a story of resilience, compassion, and purpose. And when you wear our shirts, you carry that story forward.

We are honored to be part of your journey.

Much Love, 

Uncle Andy and Sophie
