A relaxed, garment-dyed tee made to feel lived-in from the first wear. The heavyweight cotton holds shape while the soft post-dye finish gives each shirt a subtly vintage look and gentle hand. Clean, minimal front chest text and a bold, slightly weathered back print reading “BUILT NOT BOUGHT” speak to people who take pride in making, restoring, or customizing — builders, garage tinkerers, woodworkers, and small-scale makers. Wear it during long shop days, casual weekend projects, or low-key hangouts where the shirt’s quiet confidence matches the work you put in. The relaxed cut layers easily over flannels or under a work jacket; the sewn-in label and double-needle seams keep it durable through repeat wears and washes. Available in many colors and sizes, it’s a straightforward tee that feels personal and earned.
