Who we are
Top Hat Lemon was started in 2019 by 3 coworkers/relatives/friends: Joe, Mike (aka Herman), and Steve - in that order in that very old picture of us ——>
They worked in e-commerce, had experience selling novelty apparel, and thought, “that doesn’t seem that hard; just throw some pet and/or alcohol puns on socks.”
So they did just that - eventually adding merchandise options for their teetotaler fans (the ones with jobs).
Meet our team:

What does Top Hat Lemon stand for?
Nobody asked? Too bad!
It’s in the slogan: Be Fancy; Party on!
And correct use of semi-colons.
Site Note: Believe it or not, all high quality drawings were created by the owners.
