Hunky Tops 2024: Stripped Down and Fabulous

As 2024 comes to a close, we’re taking a moment to celebrate an incredible year with you, our Hunky Tribe. From coast to coast (and beyond), you’ve made this our best year yet. So, let’s look back on the stats, the wins, and the moments that made 2024 unforgettable. Spoiler alert: It was all thanks to you.


More Than 2,000 Orders: You Showed Up Big Time

This year, we shipped out more than 2,000 orders. That’s thousands of times you said, “Yes, I need this hunky goodness in my life.” Each order represented a connection—a gift for a loved one, a treat for yourself, or a way to wear pride on your sleeve (literally). Our packages traveled near and far, from big cities to small towns, each one spreading a little more of the Hunky Tops magic.

We’ve seen new customers diving into the world of Hunky Tops for the first time and longtime members of our Hunky Tribe coming back for more. Whether it was the playful slogans, the bold designs, or the sense of community that drew you in, we’re honored to have been a part of your year. And let’s not forget the joy of seeing your photos on social media and hearing your stories about where and how you wear your Hunky Tops. You made this year unforgettable for us; we hope we’ve done the same for you.

Over 3,000 Tops Sold: One Is Never Enough

Hunky Tops isn’t just about one great t-shirt—it’s a lifestyle. You snagged thousands of shirts, tanks, and hoodies in 2024. From bold designs to cheeky slogans, you love making a statement. With so many options, it’s no surprise our designs found their way into closets across the country.

And the compliments? They’ve been innumerable. Our customers constantly tell us how often their Hunky Tops spark conversations and turn heads, whether at Pride events, the gym, or casual hangouts. Each piece represents a little slice of Hunky Tribe pride—and we love seeing how you rock them in your photos and hearing about the positive vibes they bring to your day.

Most Popular Size: L Takes the Crown

Large and in charge! Size L was our top choice this year, proving that hunky style comes in all shapes and sizes. Not far behind were M and XL, showing that the Hunky Tribe comes in a fabulous variety of fits.

This year also marked an exciting milestone by introducing 4XL and 5XL sizes in some of our most recent designs. These additions were a big step toward ensuring that everyone in the Hunky Tribe can find a fit that feels just right. We’ve loved seeing these new sizes embraced by customers who value comfort and style.

Rest assured, we’ll offer options for everyone to strut their stuff confidently and comfortably. No matter your size, Hunky Tops is here to keep you looking and feeling fabulous.

Shipped to All 50 States and Puerto Rico

Hunky Tops went everywhere this year. From the sunny beaches of California to the bustling streets of New York and even Puerto Rico, our shirts were along for the ride. No corner of the U.S. escaped the hunky magic, and we’re so proud to have such a widespread, vibrant community.

Our Hunky Tribe walks many different walks of life. From big city living in places like Los Angeles and Miami to quiet rural corners of America, there’s a Hunky Top representing your unique style and spirit. Whether rocking your shirt at a Pride parade, a small-town farmer’s market, or an urban rooftop party, you show the world what it means to live authentically and confidently.

Every destination we ship to reminds us of the diversity and strength of our community. You’ve made Hunky Tops a part of your everyday life and memorable moments, and we couldn’t be prouder to see our designs making a difference everywhere from coast to coast.

California Is the MVP

Speaking of sunny beaches, California has the most orders in 2024. Thanks for bringing the heat, Golden State! Not far behind were Florida and Texas, two states that clearly know how to represent their hunky pride. These three states formed the core of our most loyal customer base.

Looking even closer, the cities with the most orders tell their own story. Seattle, WA, Chicago, IL, and New York, NY, topped the charts, proving that Hunky Tops has a special place in both the laid-back Pacific Northwest, the bustling Midwest, and the vibrant streets of the Big Apple. These urban hubs showed us that hunky style transcends geography and resonates everywhere, from the waterfront to the skyscrapers.

You three states and these standout cities are our shipping champs, and we can’t wait to keep spreading the love your way in 2025!

Top Design: Growl Bear Steals the Spotlight

It’s official: 2024 belonged to Growl Bear. This design captured hearts, turned heads, and became the ultimate statement piece for our Hunky Tribe. With its bold lines and fierce energy, it perfectly embodied the strength and spirit of our community. Whether worn to Pride events, cozy nights out, or just a casual day at the gym, Growl Bear was more than a design—it was a roar of self-expression.

Hot on its heels was the My Boyfriend Is a Werewolf T-Shirt, which quickly became the fastest-selling design not just this year but in all of Hunky Tops' history. This design draws inspiration from vintage horror comic book covers of the 1950s, with bold typography and dramatic illustrations that evoke nostalgia while feeling fresh and modern. Its playful nod to supernatural romance and sleek, eye-catching graphics made it an instant favorite. You embraced the werewolf fantasy with open arms, and the sales numbers spoke volumes—this design truly howled its way to the top.

The Burly Tank Top also made waves, winning over fans with its clean, classic look and strong, confident vibe. It became a go-to choice for the gym or layering up for a night out. This design showed that sometimes simplicity is the ultimate statement, and we loved seeing how you made it your own.

Each of these designs brought something unique to the table, proving that our Hunky Tribe loves a mix of playful, bold, and stylish options. We can’t wait to see what designs rise to the top in 2025!


Cheers to What’s Next

As we look ahead to 2025, we’re filled with excitement and gratitude. You’ve helped us grow, thrive, and create a brand that’s more than just t-shirts—it’s a community. Here’s to another year of bold designs, authentic living, and spreading hunky vibes far and wide.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Let’s make 2025 even more fabulous together.

Stay hunky,
Christian from Hunky Tops
