Malcolm Jamal Warner Gordon Gartrell What Is This Two-Sided Shirt – Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s Legendary Fashion Fail Lives On
The Malcolm Jamal Warner Gordon Gartrell What Is This Two-Sided Shirt is a wearable homage to one of the most unforgettable moments in sitcom history. On the front, it features a cartoon rendering of Theo Huxtable (played by Malcolm-Jamal Warner) wearing the infamous Gordon Gartrell shirt—a chaotic patchwork of yellow and black satin, mismatched sleeves, and a breast pocket that’s nowhere near the chest. On the back, the same image is paired with the exasperated quote: “What is this?!”—Theo’s iconic meltdown line from The Cosby Show episode “A Shirt Story.”

This shirt isn’t just fashion—it’s a cultural flashback. In Season 1, Episode 8 of The Cosby Show, Theo tries to impress his date with a $95 designer shirt by fictional fashion icon Gordon Gartrell. When his sister Denise attempts a DIY version for $30, the result is a sartorial disaster. Yet, it’s this very disaster that became a comedic masterpiece. The shirt’s absurd asymmetry and Theo’s dramatic reaction—“It’s tucked into my socks!”—cemented the moment in TV legend. Wearing this shirt is a tribute to Warner’s comedic brilliance and a wink to anyone who’s ever tried to fake it till they make it.
