FIG. 001 — OPENING

We are indestructible.

A short statement of intent from The Cockroach Store —
uniforms for a generation that refuses to die quietly.

IDENTIFICATION

You are not the problem.

Lazy. Entitled. Soft. Distracted. "Quiet quitting." Allergic to feedback.

Underpaid. Overqualified.
Awake to the rigging.
Tired in a way that sleep
can't fix.

[ You are not broken. The system is. ]

THE 13 ARTICLES

The Articles
of the Colony.

  1. 01 Comfort > performance. Always.
  2. 02 Survival is the flex. Hustle is the trap.
  3. 03 Burnout is the system's goal. Not yours.
  4. 04 "Exposure" is not a salary.
  5. 05 Rejection is data, not destiny.
  6. 06 If they can replace you with a Notion doc, they will.
  7. 07 Your worth is not your LinkedIn headline.
  8. 08 Soft chairs. Strong opinions. Loose deadlines.
  9. 09 Networking is not your personality.
  10. 10 Reply to "circle back" with silence.
  11. 11 You don't owe anyone a five-year plan.
  12. 12 Eat the samosa. Take the nap.
  13. 13 Still here is the whole point.

UTILITY

Uniforms
for the survivors.

[ FABRIC ]
240gsm
Heavy cotton. Soft enough for the 11AM work-from-bed routine. Indestructible enough for the family function.
[ FIT ]
Oversized
Drop shoulder. No hustle posture. Designed for the body at rest, not the body performing productivity.
[ SIZING ]
Unisex
The economy doesn't discriminate. Neither do we. XS through XXL, every drop.

Made in India. Printed in small runs. Restocked when we feel like it.
