Graphic tees
Welder Shirts
Welder shirts with the jokes the shop already tells: the fitter who leaves a gap you could drive a truck through, TIG beads like a stack of dimes, and the grinder crew that makes every weld look good. Original 1950s trade-poster art, no brand logos.
Shop talk, drawn like an old safety poster
Each design is a scene from the shop floor drawn in the style of a 1950s company newsletter or safety poster: a welder kneeling on an I-beam with a hot glue gun hanging off his toolbox, two coworkers inspecting a lumpy bead with a grinder and a can of primer, a gloved hand laying a row of dimes with a TIG torch. The line is set in big block capitals so the crew can read it from across the bay.
Who they are for
Pipeline and structural welders, fabricators, fitters, welding students and the shop guy who does the cleanup. The jokes are written for people who weld, but the family who buys the gift gets them too: no one needs to know what a fitter is to laugh at "If you can step over it, I can fill it."
Not a work shirt
These are lightweight 4.2 oz cotton graphic tees, not flame-resistant welding shirts. Wear one under your FR jacket, at the shop on a slow day, to the union hall or the cookout, and leave the welding to your FR gear.
FAQ
- Are these welder shirts flame resistant?
- No. Graphic Tees Co. welder shirts are lightweight 4.2 oz cotton graphic tees, not FR-rated work shirts. Wear one under a leather or FR welding jacket, around the shop or off the clock, and keep proper flame-resistant gear between you and the arc whenever you weld.
- What is a funny gift for a welder?
- A welder shirt with a joke from the trade is an easy gift: lines like "Stacks Dimes, Wants More Dimes" or "I Basically Hot Glue Metal" land with anyone who welds. Graphic Tees Co. welder shirts are $24.99, and one free size exchange within 30 days covers a size guess.
- What sizes do the welder shirts come in?
- Every Graphic Tees Co. welder shirt is a classic unisex tee in sizes S through 4XL, cut like a regular crew-neck tee. Most welders keep their usual size; size up one for a looser fit over a thermal. Compare the size chart on each product with a tee you already own.
- What does "stacking dimes" mean in welding?
- Stacking dimes describes a TIG weld bead whose evenly spaced ripples look like a row of overlapping coins. It is the look welders aim for on a clean weld. Graphic Tees Co. turned it into a pay joke on the Stacks Dimes, Wants More Dimes welder shirt.
- How long do welder shirts take to arrive?
- Each welder shirt is printed after you order it. Printing takes 2–5 business days, then your order ships. Orders of $45 or more ship free in the US, and delivery estimates are shown at checkout.
