I’m Mean Because I Grew Up In New England Pepper Embroidered T-Shirt

If you grew up in New England, chances are you've been told you're "a little mean" at least once. Around here, we just call it being honest.

This embroidered Comfort Colors® t-shirt celebrates the dry humor, quick wit, and unapologetically direct personality that makes New Englanders who they are. No fake smiles. No unnecessary small talk. Just the truth—with a little sarcasm mixed in.

Featuring premium embroidered lettering on an ultra-soft, garment-dyed Comfort Colors tee, this shirt has a relaxed vintage fit that feels like an old favorite from the very first wear.

Available in three timeless colors:
• Blue Jean
• Light Green
• Pepper

Whether you're grabbing an iced coffee in February, spending the weekend down the Cape, hitting your favorite brewery, or just trying to avoid making conversation with strangers, this shirt does the talking for you.
