The Message People Stop You To Read
This is the design DearPersonCo is known for, and these two sit at the very top of the Bestsellers list. The front keeps it short. The back says the rest to whoever is standing behind you.

Same Message, Two More Ways To Wear It
The same words on two more cuts: a crewneck for office days and a zip-up for days you're in and out.
Top Seller · Crewnecks
The Original 'Dear Person Behind Me' Sweatshirt
The hoodie's message on a classic crewneck
Perfect For: Office days and layering over a collared shirt. Good if hoods annoy you.
The crewneck keeps both sides of the original: "you are enough." on the chest and the full "Dear person behind me" note across the back. It's the same 50/50 cotton and polyester blend in 12 colors, sizes S to 3XL.
"I absolutely love it!! So comfy and warm. People light up seeing this. It makes them feel noticed." (Francis S., verified buyer)

Top Seller · Zip-Ups
The Original 'Dear Person Behind Me' Zip-Up Hoodie
Comes off without messing up your hair
Perfect For: Spring and fall, travel days, and overheated offices.
On the zip-up, "you are enough" is split across the zipper, so it reads as one line when you zip up. The back carries the same note as the pullover. It comes in 10 colors with the same 50/50 cotton and polyester fabric and unisex sizing.
"First day, on line at a bagel shop, person behind me said 'I like your shirt' then said 'I just love the message. The world needs more messages like that.'" (Randye K., verified buyer)
