Introducing Petty Professor

Lessons You Can Wear

About Us

Petty Professor is where intellect meets comfort. Born in the classroom and carried into community, our collections turn the hidden curriculum of survival into something you can wear with pride. Every tee, crewneck, and hoodie is soft, tagless, and conversation-starting — stitched with humor, resilience, and truth.

Built for My Kids (my legacy)

A Brand Born in the Classroom...

What started as a professor’s inside joke — “Read the Syllabus” — has become a legacy project. Petty Professor is my way of affirming educators, lifelong learners, and culture-watchers who want clothes that feel good and say something real.

It’s also for my kids — neurodivergent youth who deserve apparel that regulates and affirms. Designing pieces they can wear with ease and pride is at the heart of why this brand exists.

Made to Fit More Than Sizes

Our apparel is intentionally offered in adult unisex sizing — soft-wash tees, hoodies, and crewnecks designed for comfort and flexibility. Why? Because many youth, especially neurodivergent teens like my daughter, outgrow kids’ sensory-friendly lines too quickly or prefer the ease of oversized hoodies year-round.

This way, our pieces flex across ages, identities, and seasons — whether you’re a professor heading into class, a student pulling an all-nighter, or a teen who just wants something cozy that won’t itch, scratch, or distract.
