The Look
Enamel pins have become the ultimate accessory for fans who want to broadcast their niche interests without saying a word. A single pin can signal your inside knowledge of obscure trivia, your allegiance to a podcast, or your appreciation for absurd facts. When you pair a No Such Thing as a Fish enamel pin with a classic tee, you're not just wearing merch - you're wearing a conversation starter.
The classic look starts with a high-quality blank: the No Such Thing as a Fish Classic T-Shirt ($24.99, 100% ring-spun cotton). Its relaxed unisex fit and pre-shrunk fabric make it the ideal canvas for pin placement. Pop a pin on the collar, scatter a few across the chest, or line them up on the hem. The soft cotton holds pins securely without sagging, and the solid color options let your pins pop.
How Fans Are Styling It
Fans have turned pin styling into an art form. Some go for a curated minimalist look: one fact-themed pin centered on the chest pocket area. Others go maximalist, covering the entire front of their No Such Thing as a Fish Premium Hoodie ($49.99) with a constellation of pins representing their favorite episodes.
- Pin + Polo: The No Such Thing as a Fish Polo Shirt ($34.99) gives a preppy twist. Layer a single enamel pin on the collar for subtle fandom.
- Pin + Tank: On warmer days, the No Such Thing as a Fish Tank Top ($19.99) is the go-to. Pins along the strap or at the hem add personalized flair.
- Bags and Hats: Not just clothing - fans also decorate backpacks and hats with pins, but the 100% cotton tees remain the most popular canvas because they're lightweight and easy to swap out.
No matter how you style them, enamel pins let you curate a look that's uniquely yours. Each pin tells a story, and the t-shirt just happens to be the perfect backdrop.
Sizing and Fit Guide
When wearing pins, you want a tee that fits well - not too tight (pins can warp the fabric) and not too loose (pins might dangle). The Classic T-Shirt is designed with a relaxed unisex fit, meaning it's neither boxy nor clingy. Here's how to choose:
| Size | Chest (in) | Length (in) | Recommended for pins |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 34-36 | 28 | Fitted, best for single pin on collar |
| M | 38-40 | 29 | Standard, good for 3-4 pins on chest |
| L | 42-44 | 30 | Relaxed, allows for larger pin clusters |
| XL | 46-48 | 31 | Roomy, great for all-over pin arrangements |
If you're between sizes, size up for maximum pin real estate. The pre-shrunk cotton means your tee won't shrink after washing, so your pin layout stays consistent.

FAQ
Question: Does the t-shirt come with any enamel pins? Answer: No, the Classic T-Shirt is sold separately. Enamel pins are not currently part of our product line, but many fans purchase third-party fact-themed pins and add them to the tee.
Question: Will the pins leave holes in the fabric? Answer: The 100% ring-spun cotton is tightly woven, so small pin backs (especially butterfly clutches) leave minimal marks. Avoid heavy or sharp pins on lightweight knits.
Question: Can I wash the t-shirt with pins attached? Answer: It's best to remove pins before washing to prevent damage to both the pins and the fabric. Turn the shirt inside out and wash cold, then air dry.
