Quiet professional wears 'quiet professional' shirt to stress his quiet professionalism

Does this also come in a tank top?

Quiet professional wears 'quiet professional' shirt to stress his quiet professionalism

Retired Army Staff Sgt. Collin Smith is a quiet professional. His t-shirt says so.

“I struggled to find an identity for years. My wife told me to get a hobby that wasn’t service-related, but fuck that,” Smith told Duffel Blog correspondents. “So I took a pretty big risk and started a veteran-focused t-shirt company.”

Collin struggled with this choice. At first, he wanted to start a veteran coffee company, but, he said, “you can’t wear vet coffee.”

The interview began with Collin sitting in his kitchen, wearing a kickass tank top with the words Quiet Professional emblazoned in a tribal font of unknown origin, flames surrounding it.
