Chivalric tradition, agile execution, strategic timing, total focus and cool t-shirts. The sport of fencing now has it all. Our ever-expanding line of casual apparel exclusively designed for fencers — and friends of fencers, (FOFs) — celebrates the fine points of the sport, including the eight parry (defensive) positions, la belle (the cliffhanger moment in a fencing bout when the score is tied) and Fencer X, every ref's worst nightmare. If you're looking for the world's only Fencer Bobblehead, you’ve arrived at the right strip.

Do you have to be a fencer to understand some of the messages?

Yes.

But you don’t have to be a fencer to enjoy our shirts and gifts.

For a sport dominated by regulation clothing, regulation shoes, even regulation socks, Big 4 Our Britches apparel represent a casual departure. Designed for wear off the fencing strip and sized for children and adults, the shirts and hoodies are available in a wide range of styles and colors. Several of the most popular are girlie tees and zipped hoodies, the very epitome of fashion. All of the shirts have Attitude. With the entire B4OB collection, we encourage you to be brazen, maybe even a little big for your breeches.

We also offer fencing club directors the option of customizing many of the shirts and socks to include club logos and colors. In addition, club and tournament directors often request an original shirt design to celebrate the event or reflect the club’s brand.

Big For Our Britches shirts are sold at fencing tournaments and on the internet at big4ourbritches.com. The company was founded by Carol Lasky, a fencing mom, and is an outgrowth of the award-winning, Boston-based design firm, Cahoots (cahootsdesign.com).
