Cult Guy: Butter-soft shirts spun from vintage deadstock

Every wardrobe needs a Good Times shirt.

By strict definition, a Good Times shirt is any short-sleever that makes you feel as though you’ve already had your first drink the moment you button it up.

“Can all this really happen from putting on a shirt?” you ask.

If that shirt is Cult Guy, then yes — better believe it.

Their shirts are sourced from vintage deadstock cotton, linen and even silk (yes, silk).

There’s the Kermit, a silk shirt with little frogs and mother-of-pearl buttons to make it pop, ideal for day-drinking Downtown.

There’s the 90210, done in a banana-leaf motif that looks ready for a Beverly Hills pool party.

Oliver belongs in a hammock; Steven a boat; Ryan a VIP tent in Indio.

They use French seams to help keep things form-fitted, so if you’re buying online and like some breathing room, size up.

If you want to try one on for yourself, visit their pop-up at the Platform in Culver City. It’s running through June and is open daily from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm.

Let the good times roll.
