The Thompson Tee Story

See us on shark tank


Bringing freedom, comfort and confidence to millions worldwide
Hi, I'm Billy Thompson, founder and president of Thompson Tee.
I've had axillary hyperhidrosis, or excessive underarm sweating, for as long as I can remember. I learned to live with my condition — practicing ridiculous deodorant rituals, swearing off colored shirts and doing everything imaginable to conceal my underarm sweat marks.
I spent many years working in sales, and would sweat right through my undershirts and dress shirts. It was uncomfortable, embarrassing and expensive. I knew there had to a better way to manage this problem.
In 2011, I approached my friend Randy Choi, who had experience working in the apparel industry. I learned that he too, could relate to the struggles of excessive sweating. Randy, who suffered from cranial hyperhidrosis as a teen, underwent sweat gland removal surgery, only to end up with severe side effects like all-over sweating, skin problems, slow metabolism and fatigue as a result.
Bound by our passion to create a safe, affordable and convenient solution, Randy and I developed a lightweight, breathable, comfortable and truly integrated underarm barrier that would completely absorb sweat, withstand the toughest stains, and help those living with axillary hyperhidrosis.
We've come a long way and hit many milestones, including appearing on Shark Tank in 2017, hitting 100% growth several years in a row, selling over 1 million undershirts by March 2019, and then 2 million by March 2023! But nothing compares to hearing the success stories of happy customers who consider our undershirts to be life-changing, and are ecstatic to win back their confidence.
