About these blue collar shirts
These eight designs show what the work looks like up close. A bronze-patinated ironworker sits on a riveted I-beam with rope coiled at his hip. A hammer comes down on a hot billet, the steel running white to cherry red. Grease-stained hands grip a chrome fuel nozzle beneath FULL SERVICE.
Others are built from parts: two letterforms packed with pistons and valve springs, and a rampant eagle over a shield of bolt, piston, pine and rope. A flatbed wrecker in faded red and amber hauls a stripped muscle car. Ink-stained hands lock metal type into a brass composing stick, and a bearded lumberjack in red buffalo plaid stands among snowy pines.
They suit welders, mechanics, drivers, printers and anyone proud of the trade. Claim one and you are its only owner, with full commercial rights to the artwork. The Jack collection is built around construction workwear if you want more. Printed tees are a separate order.

Questions
What is a blue collar worker?
A blue collar worker does manual or skilled trade work, such as building, repairing, driving or manufacturing, and is often paid by the hour. The term comes from the sturdy blue work shirts many such workers wore.
What do blue collar workers wear?
Durable work clothes suited to the job: heavy cotton or denim, sturdy boots, gloves, and hi-vis gear where it is required. The tees on this page are artwork, not safety equipment, so follow your site's gear rules for the job itself.
What shirts do construction workers use?
Usually durable cotton or work-blend shirts, long sleeves for sun and abrasion, and hi-vis layers where site rules call for them. Plenty of crews wear plain or graphic cotton tees under their gear. For a construction-workwear collection, see Jack.
