Skip to product information
This heavyweight garment-dyed tee carries the grit and pride of hands-on builders. The front artwork — a roaring V8 engine with bold lettering that reads “BUILT NOT BOUGHT” — feels loud and unapologetic, a statement for folks who measure value in hours in the garage and wrench marks on their hands. The soft, worn-in texture from garment-dyeing gives the shirt an authentic, lived-in look that complements the vintage hot-rod illustration. Put it on after a long day of tuning, wrenching, or cruising and it settles into the kind of comfort that says you belong in the pit, not the showroom. It’s roomy enough for layering over a flannel or under a shop jacket and available in a wide range of colors and sizes so builders of every stripe can wear their work proudly.
