The Rest Is Politics Classic T-Shirt - $24.99

This is the everyday essential. Made from 100% ring-spun cotton, it's pre-shrunk and cut in a relaxed unisex fit - perfect for long study sessions or quick trips to the campus coffee shop. The branding is clean but unmistakable, so fellow poli sci majors will know you're serious about your commentary. At $24.99, it's a no-brainer for the semester.

The Rest Is Politics Premium Hoodie - $49.99

When the library AC is cranked or you're walking to an early morning lecture, the premium hoodie is your go-to. It's the same understated style but with more warmth. Pair it with jeans or joggers, and you've got a uniform that works from 8 a.m. office hours to late-night study groups.

The Rest Is Politics Polo Shirt - $34.99

For those days when you have a presentation or a meeting with a professor, the polo shirt bridges casual and professional. It's a smart option for political science students who want to look put-together without sacrificing their podcast allegiance.
