What kind of shirts do mechanics wear?

Mechanics deal with oil, grease and constant washing. Shirts have to hold up and still represent the shop.

Common choices

Mechanics typically wear work shirts, button-up uniform shirts, tees or polos, often with the shop name on the chest and the mechanic's name on a patch or print. Many shops supply uniforms so the team looks consistent.

Polyester or heavy cotton

Heavy cotton is a classic shop fabric and many mechanics like it. Polyester dries faster and holds colour through frequent washing, and a sublimated print does not crack. Stains can still be hard to remove from either. See our mechanic shirts.

What to print

Shop name and logo on the chest, mechanic names, and your phone number on the back so customers and passers-by can find you.
