Our Story

Since 2015, we’ve been a family-owned shop outfitting local teams and hardworking crews with custom gear built to last. After years of slinging jerseys, work shirts, and company swag out of our brick-and-mortar store, we figured it was time to take our sense of humor online. Enter Built For Trades Apparel—the place where tough gear meets not-so-serious designs.

Whether you’re a plumber, sparky, roofer, or just someone who appreciates a good laugh after a long shift, we’ve got you covered. Our funny trade-inspired tees and hoodies are made to survive everything from jobsite grime to after-work beers. And if you’re here for the serious side, we still crank out custom workwear on trusted brands like Carhartt and Dickies—because looking professional doesn’t mean you can’t also be comfortable (and maybe crack a joke or two).

At the end of the day, we’re just a family who loves supporting other hardworking families in the trades—one shirt at a time.
