Some days you’re a lion. Some days you’re a lion pretending everything is fine while the world hands you stripped bolts, mystery leaks, and equipment that “just started making that noise.”
This shirt captures that exact mood: a fierce, blue-collar lion rendered in bold white lines—jaw tight, eyes tired, smile absolutely fake. Underneath it, the truth lands with a thud:
“Born to torque. Forced to smile.”
It’s the unofficial uniform for anyone who has ever tightened bolts while silently questioning every life decision that led to this moment. Mechanics, electricians, operators, set-up crews—if you’ve ever smiled through nonsense, this shirt gets you.
Available in the only three colors that matter:
Black – hides grease like a magician.
Navy – disguises stains with quiet professionalism.
Asphalt Grey – for the technician who intends to turn it black naturally through sheer effort and misery.
Offered in S–4XL, because attitude comes in all sizes.
Product Details (Comfort Built for Real Work)
This tee may look rough, but it wears smooth. It’s soft, lightweight, and has just enough stretch to handle every awkward reach, crawl, lift, and “why won’t this bolt thread?!” moment of your workday. Made to feel good, hold up, and survive whatever the shop or plant throws your way.
Specs you can actually trust:
100% combed and ring-spun cotton for a clean, comfortable feel.
4.2 oz/yd² fabric weight—light but durable.
Pre-shrunk fabric, because surprises belong in the job, not in the laundry.
Side-seamed construction that keeps its shape instead of twisting like a worn-out belt.
Shoulder-to-shoulder taping for reinforcement where real wear happens.
If you’re built for torque but required to smile anyway, this shirt lets you say it out loud—without saying a word.
This shirt doesn’t exist until you decide it should.
We make each one on demand—no dusty warehouse stacks, no pallets of sad, unsold sizes. It takes a little longer to ship because we print it fresh, just for you, the moment you hit “order.” It’s smarter, it cuts down on waste, and it keeps the world from drowning in mountains of shirts nobody asked for.
So thanks for choosing the path that’s a little slower, a lot more efficient, and way less apocalyptic.
