Our Story

 

As a mom to two autistic boys and someone who is autistic herself, Founder Bekah McClelland knows all about the intense challenges that uncomfortable tags and coarse fabrics can create for those with sensory sensitivities. It was during another hectic morning further complicated by tag-induced chaos that she decided she'd had enough. With a snip of her well-worn scissors, she removed the tag from one more of her son's shirts, managed to conquer the extra-frenzied school drop-off scramble, and vowed to find a solution.

After countless hours of research, a ton of experimentation, and some sheer serendipity, My Favorite T was born. Made with 100% ring-spun cotton specially treated for maximum softness to make you feel totally comfy, our tees feature creative, fun, and inspiring designs - something you won't find with other sensory-friendly apparel.

But My Favorite T is about much more than soft, tagless fabrics and unique artwork; it's about saying, "Hey, we get you because we are you, and we have something that can help." It's about living by a "nothing is impossible" attitude. And it's about overcoming whatever adversities come your way. 

The pathway that led Bekah to launch My Favorite T was filled with adversities and setbacks that included an intense legal battle with her son's school, a sacrificial relocation, and an overwhelming business rebuild. What got her through was her unshakable devotion to her boys, her unwavering determination, and her bold resilience. It's this passion - this need to make a positive difference - that's at the heart of the My Favorite T brand.

Creativity with Purpose

My Favorite T thrives on the boundless imagination and creativity of Founder Bekah McClelland. Her unique synesthetic abilities that enable her to associate numbers, letters, shapes and even days of the month with certain colors add depth and a distinctive dimension to all her creations. Delicately printed on tees with a soft ink process, each design offers a window into her world - her experiences, ideas, dreams, and mission to spread joy and support for all those with sensory sensitivities - one tee at a time.
