This relaxed-fit garment-dyed tee feels like the workshop after a long day — worn-in, heavy, and honest. A gritty illustration wraps the chest and back: a hooded mechanic with grease-streaked hands, tools scattered at his feet, and the bold message ‘BUILT NOT BOUGHT’ declaring pride in work and self-made craftsmanship. The heavyweight cotton and garment-dyed finish give the shirt a lived-in softness and subtle vintage tone that deepens with wear. Wear it to the garage, the show, or a weekend run to the parts store — it reads like a statement from people who value sweat over show. Offered in a wide range of colors and sizes, the tee drapes with a relaxed silhouette and stays sturdy thanks to double-needle stitching and a tubular construction that resists side seams. It’s for those who care about how things are made and want their clothing to reflect that story.
