It Wasn’t Broken Until You Tried to Fix It” — Technician Truth Tee (S–4XL)

There’s a special kind of smoke that rises when someone with just enough confidence to be dangerous touches machinery they shouldn’t. This shirt captures that moment beautifully—a bold white illustration of a busted industrial machine coughing up a smoke signal that basically says, “Yeah… they did it again.”

Paired with the line “It wasn’t broken until you tried to fix it,” this tee delivers the kind of dry honesty every tech, mechanic, and operator secretly mutters under their breath three times a week. It’s sharp, sarcastic, and painfully accurate—like a warning label nobody will read until it’s too late.

Comes in three work-ready colors:

Black – the universal grease-camouflage champion.

Navy – hides stains like it owes you money.

Asphalt Grey – for the tech who prefers to earn their darkness the honest way.

Sizes S–4XL, because the maintenance world doesn’t run on runway models—it runs on real humans who lift, crawl, bend, haul, and occasionally swear at machinery.

Product Details

Built on a soft, durable tee that can handle your entire shift, from the first “why is it doing that?” to the final “I told you not to touch it.” Smooth, comfortable, and tough enough to wipe your hands on—because let’s be honest, you’re going to anyway.

This shirt features:

A comfortable, lightweight fit that still feels sturdy.

High-quality direct-to-garment printing that keeps the bold white illustration crisp, even after real-world abuse.

Fabric that holds shape, wash after wash, instead of turning into that weird saggy trapezoid other shirts become.

Perfect for mechanics, electricians, techs, operators, or anyone who gets called after someone else “gave it a try.”

Wear it to work.
Wear it on your day off.
Wear it as a public service announcement.

Because some truths deserve to be printed in bold letters.

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.
