The Grit & Glory Story
We didn’t come up through boardrooms. We came up through busted knuckles, night shifts, and shops that smell like solvent and strong coffee. Grit & Glory Tees is a nod to that world—the folks who fix what’s broken and keep everything moving.
The name is the promise: grit is the work; glory is the pride when the job’s done right. We’re here to put respect back where it belongs and give the trades a banner they actually want to wear.
Many of our designs are original to us—built with input from people who live the work. You’ll see graphics here you won’t find anywhere else, alongside a few that salute tried-and-true shop classics.
We’re building this the way good work gets done—trade by trade. First up: mechanics. Then we roll out to welding, electrical, HVAC, carpentry, machining, and beyond. Different tools, same backbone.
If that sounds like your crowd, you’re in the right place.
Wear your grit. Earn your glory.
