If you've been looking for the original Hardly Working Hoodie, you've finally found it. As featured on the hit TV show Bump, the design has become our most popular graphic hoodie.
Plus, it's a relatable take on an Australiana classic, and that's our bread and butter. Just a few local Aussies designing, printing, and shipping ethically made hoodies.

Is the Hardly Working Hoodie the one from Bump?
Yes. The original Hardly Working Hoodie is ours, and it's the one you've seen on the TV show Bump. Widely imitated by print-on-demand sellers, but this is the hand-drawn original by Claire Harrison, printed to order in Sydney.
What is the Hardly Working Hoodie a parody of?
It's a loving take on an iconic Australian hardware aesthetic. The kind of lowkey tradie look you'd see at the sausage sizzle. A relatable Aussie classic, designed and printed by an independent Sydney brand.

Most of our products are sourced through AS Colour and other ethical suppliers who we chose specifically because of their high quality products and transparent ethical processes. You can read more about our ethical clothing approach, our slow fashion production model and how our garments are printed in Sydney.
Some of the social responsibility measures we take include:
Transparency around production and promotion of fair, healthy, and safe practices.
Partnership with The Better Cotton Initiative.
Responsibly sourcing materials and ensuring ethical practices are maintained throughout our supply chain.
All by-products of the printing process are either reused or recycled. We have removed nearly all plastic from our supply chain. Our ink cartridges are reused. All of our cardboard is recycled and we work with a supplier in Western Sydney who breaks down the components of our leftover ink into environmentally friendly nutrients to enrich soil.
Finally a hoodie that completely descibes my current working capacity and ambitions.

Awesome hoodie for dad!
Such a neat concept for Father�۪s Day! Love that it�۪s limited edition and also that it�۪s ethically made. Due to the pandemic it arrived very late, but no fault of LKC as they sent it out with plenty of time. Dad loved it! Good quality and great design!

Best winter hoodie
Premium quality, very soft and warm. Layers well with thermal jumper underneath for optimal cozyness. Print quality is great and service is always amazing. This will have a cherished place in the winter wardrobe.

Best jumper ever
It was originally brought for my boyfriend for his birthday but it’s so comfy and warm I had to steal it off him. He is a tad suspicious on why I bought a jumper so big for myself but I cannot bring myself to share this beautiful jumper

Quarantine blues
As a tradie who is not working atm this was a must have, super comfy and purchased 2xl for that extra 'I'm not moving from bed' feeling.
Nice shirt, love the message it displays. I was a victim of News Corpse Mafia, a photographer working out of Holt Street for 20 years but never sat on the bosses lap. Only thing that kept my sanity was the Evening Star pub
I purchased this t-shirt for my partner as he is a bird lover and a cyclist. He loves it. The fabric is really soft and washes well. The cut is great and the length is perfect. Colour is true to the on line image.
He has ordered more for friends.
Very happy with my Newscorpse Tee in support of Michael West Media which is up against BHP(Please do all you can to help Michael). Thanks Lonely Kids Club for all your great work. Thanks for putting people and the planet first.
Have made so many orders with LKC now and have never been disappointed - the items and printing is top quality, prices reasonable and I love supporting a sustainable Australian brand. LKC forever!!
My 12 year old thinks this shirt is hilarious. I like that there were multiple t shirt styles/ colours and found the pictures in the style/ size guide super helpful!
Amazing quality of the actual garment! the abolish landlords jumper was so soft, and the 5x was a perfect fit on me! baggy just how i like it. i’m about an australian woman size 22 for reference. the actual print seems like it’s such good quality- not like others that come off after a few washes. I also got the way shite shirt. i’ll say it again the quality of the t shirt is so bloody good! and the print is so well done. All and all i 100% recommend! and the bags they’re shipped in are compostable & recyclable!!! 💖
I was genuinely very disappointed with the quality of the T-shirts I received. Unfortunately, they felt very poorly made and much cheaper in quality than I was expecting.
The fabric felt thin and low quality, and the overall finish just didn’t feel up to the standard I would expect from a professionally produced T-shirt. For the price, I expected something that looked and felt considerably better.
Overall, the quality was the biggest disappointment and I wouldn’t feel comfortable ordering from here again based on my experience. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend them.
I honestly only really shop at TLKC, I’ve found that their work is beautiful, well illustrated, anti-ai and this new point system is incredible, I saved $9 on my recent purchase. HOW COOL! Thank you TLKC, been a big fan for over 4 years!
They absolutely smashed it with the Poorly Drawn Pet shirt - it is so adorable! I can't wait to have a bare mid-drift summer, it's such a flattering cut and the designs are hilarious. What was truly mindblowing was the speed in which my order was process and sent out. It was the week of christmas and I had accepted that it would be coming a week or two after but no, literally two days turn around. Ya'll are killing the game x
amazing quality and designs!! bought 3 of the badly drawn pet shirts and they’re the perfect gift for any pet lover in your life. customer service has always been amazing. highly recommend lkc
Not ethical at all. Chose to belittle and post messages on their social media from an elderly man struggling to buy a hat for his daughter for Christmas. Shameful and cruel.
Stoked with the cap I purchased. Excellent quality print on an AS Colour cap that caters to people with larger sized heads (like myself). Postage was super quick and customer service very helpful when I enquired about the size of the caps. Will gladly order from here again. :)
Not only was I incredibly impressed by Lonely Kids Clubs ethical business practices! But also the shirts are gorgeously soft and the colours and prints are very high quality! I am already wanting to add more to my collection, just have the hard decision of choosing which ones to get next!!
Great customer service and quality products! Feels great getting some shirts that I know will last so much longer! Crop tops are the perfect length too, 10/10!
Awesome hat, cute drawing, wholesome love heart, and a mad sticker to go right on my sticker board. Fast delivery, quick response time in chat, friendly service - I hope your business booms.
Would definitely buy again - I got two T-shirt’s last year and they are really well made and good quality and have washed and worn well over the last year, plus the delivery package came with a personalised note drawing and extra little gifts!! It was very nice. They have amazing designs, go look at their stuff, it’s worth it.
The customer service at lonely kids club is amazing - after one of the items I ordered was not in stock the team reached out to me to confirm an exchange and after not being able to contact me they made sure they reached out another way to ensure my order was sent out ASAP. I am mega impressed, I appreciate it so close to Christmas! the clothes are great quality and very reasonably priced for said quality :) Thank you!!!
I love the two long sleeved shirts I ordered from LKC. Not only did they ship really quick, I received a funny little drawing attached to my invoice that made me laugh. Sizing was perfect for me, designs are awesome and material is good. Will shop again with LKC. Thanks for the bonus goodies with Black friday Sales also :) :)
As someone that works in clothing manufacture I care a lot about the clothes that I buy because I know what will last and what will beg to be landfill after only a few washes. These guys aren’t kidding when they say they care about the quality of their products and I am not surprised to pop online and find out that almost 500 people agree! Great products and amazing customer service, everyone I know can expect their Christmas prezzies from here this year!
