Kath Day-Knight in a vintage retro layout. A hand-drawn t-shirt tribute to the matriarch of Kath & Kim, the iconic Australian TV series. Just Kath — because sometimes the mum deserves her own t-shirt.
LONELY KIDS CLUB x THE SHIT FILES
LKC and TSF present a tribute to Kath Day-Knight, mother half of our favourite dysfunctional mother-daughter duo, and star of the series that showed it was okay to be noice, different, and unusual. Strictly limited time only.
We've partnered with The Shit Files, a Sydney-based artist who has been amassing a following through her self-esteem boosting artwork. The design places Kath in a vintage Australian retro layout — classic aesthetic, lovingly illustrated.
Art by The Shit Files.

Compare the tee fit guide with a shirt you already enjoy wearing. Regular, Maple, Crop Top, Oversized Tee and Long Sleeve are different cuts; the available colours and sizes depend on your selection. The Classic Oversized tee has a wider, boxier shape and heavyweight 220 GSM cotton. It is a different cut from a Regular tee in a larger size. Choose your fit first, then colour and size.

Is this an officially licensed Kath and Kim t-shirt?
No, this is a hand-drawn fan tribute by artist The Shit Files in collaboration with Lonely Kids Club. Not affiliated with Kath & Kim, the ABC, or any production company. Just a loving homage for fans of the show.
What's on the design?
Kath Day-Knight (just Kath, not Kim) in a vintage retro layout. The Shit Files brings her signature style to a classic Aussie aesthetic — designed to evoke the era and spirit of the show.
Is there a Kim version?
This design features Kath only. If demand is strong, we might look at a Kim design in future — follow us on socials to hear about new releases.
Is this a good gift for Kath & Kim fans?
Absolutely. For any Kath and Kim fan who has Kath as their favourite (foxymorons among us) or just appreciates the mum half of the duo, this one's for them. Also works for fans of retro Australian aesthetics and vintage 80s-style layouts.
Is this a limited edition?
Yes. Strictly limited time only. Once it's gone, it's gone.

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.
Each garment is printed to order in Sydney using ethically sourced garments as part of our slow fashion production model rather than mass produced in large quantities. This allows us to reduce waste and maintain a more responsible production approach.
Some of the social responsibility measures we take include:
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.
You can also learn more about how our shirts are made and what it means to be an independent Australian clothing brand.
