Built to Work: Vintage Shirts and Jackets That Don’t Quit
This week’s drop tips its cap to American workwear — real-deal vintage from factory floors, truck beds, and union halls. These are the pieces that weren’t made for leisure—they were made to last.
We’re talking heavyweight flannel, stitched-on patches, worn graphics, and a satin bomber with labor history in its threads. Whether you’re a collector, a builder, or just dressing with a blue-collar edge, these four pieces bring the goods.
🔧 Vintage Ford Red Kap Work Shirt (1990s)
A true mechanic’s shirt from the heyday of American shopwear. This navy Red Kap uniform comes with a stitched Ford patch — no replicas here. Poly/cotton blend for durability, made in the USA, and broken in with just the right fade. It’s the kind of shirt that’s clocked time under the hood and still has plenty left in the tank.
🚛 Vintage Ford “100 Years’” Promo Tee (Y2K)
Issued in the early 2000s to celebrate Ford’s century-long legacy of building America’s trucks. Soft cotton body, bold white graphics up front, and a proud “Still Truckin’” F-150 graphic on the back. It’s garage-day gold — a love letter to long hauls and longer-lasting engines.
🧵 Vintage Teamsters Union Satin Jacket (1980s)
Made by King Louie and stitched for Teamsters Local 135, this satin bomber is the real thing. Royal blue shell with a silky finish, white embroidery, and striped ribbed trim. Snap buttons, strong shoulders, and union-bred style that speaks for itself. More than just a jacket—it’s a piece of labor history.
🪓 Vintage Big Mac Buffalo Plaid Flannel (1970s)
Red and black buffalo plaid in heavyweight cotton with twin chest pockets and a wide collar. Made in the USA and built like a work shirt should be: thick, warm, and ready for repeated wear. Whether you’re stacking firewood or styling it up, this one delivers serious backbone.
