Black / S

Skip to product information
This relaxed, garment-dyed tee carries a unapologetic, humor-forward vibe for hands-on makers and gearheads. The bold front graphic—vintage lettering with crossed pistons and a wry tagline—reads like a workshop banner: confidence, grease, and a little self-deprecating humor rolled into one. Wear it during wrenching sessions, weekend projects, or casual meet-ups at the garage. The soft, broken-in feel from post-construction dyeing makes it comfortable from the first wear, while the heavyweight cotton and sturdy double-needle seams stand up to long days on the job. Available in a wide range of colors and sizes, it layers easily under a flannel or wears alone when you want to show your build-it-not-buy-it pride.
Imagine wiping your hands on the hem, laughing with friends over a botched project, then tossing this tee in the washer and finding it somehow softer and more lived-in than before. It’s the kind of shirt you reach for after a long day of tinkering — familiar, durable, and full of personality.
