THE BLUE COLLAR COLLECTION: TEES FOR PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY WORK

There's a difference between a shirt that looks like workwear and a shirt worn by somebody who works.

The Blue Collar collection at Common Bond Supply Co. is the second kind. Designs about skilled labor, sweat equity, and the trades that hold this country up — printed on tees you can wear straight off the job.

Here's what's in it and who each one is for.

THE STATEMENT DESIGNS

CHEAP LABOR / SKILLED LABOR — $30 CLASSIC / $32 VINTAGE

The best line in the collection, and the one that gets the most nods at the supply house.

There's no shortage of people who'll tell you what labor costs. There's a shortage of people who can do it. This shirt knows the difference.

Best for: electricians, plumbers, welders, HVAC techs — anyone who's had a customer flinch at a quote and then call back two weeks later.

AMERICAN DIESEL MECHANIC — $30 CLASSIC / $32 VINTAGE

Diesel doesn't care about your schedule. Neither does this shirt.

Built around the diesel trade — the long hours, the knuckles, the engines that have to run tomorrow.

Best for: mechanics, heavy equipment operators, fleet guys.

COMMON BOND MINER — $30 CLASSIC / $32 VINTAGE

Underground work. Hard hours. A tradition that built whole towns.

This one is for the coal and hard-rock men who know what the inside of a mountain looks like at shift change.

Best for: miners, their families, and anybody whose grandfather worked the seam.

CB TOOLS — $30 CLASSIC / $32 VINTAGE

The simplest idea in the collection: the tools are the trade.

No slogan, no lecture. Just the trade, front and center.

Best for: the man who owns more tools than furniture.

THE MORE WE SWEAT, THE LESS WE BLEED — $30 CLASSIC

Preparation isn't optional. It's what separates those who are ready from those who aren't.

Training isn't glamorous. It's the reason you come home.

Best for: anyone who trains on their own time — first responders, veterans, tradespeople who know the body is the first tool.

THE AMERICAN DESIGNS

CB AMERICAN CANNON — $30 CLASSIC / $32 VINTAGE

History and hardware. A vintage-inspired Americana design for the man who is not shy about either.

Best for: history buffs who work with their hands.

CB AMERICAN EAGLE — $30 CLASSIC

American Pride. Brotherhood. One Common Bond.

Some things are worth standing behind — freedom, hard work, American heritage, and the bonds that bring us together.

Best for: the everyday wearer. Church, job site, cookout.

COMMON BOND AMERICAN FLAG KEYSTONE — $30 CLASSIC

American roots. Shared values. One common bond. The flag and the keystone in one clean design.

Best for: the man who wants his shirt to say everything without saying much.

CB LIBERTY FREEDOM — $30 CLASSIC

Liberty in plain lettering. No irony, no hedging.

Best for: the proud one in the crew.

THE CROSSOVERS

BLUE COLLAR CIGAR LIFE — $30 CLASSIC

A hard day's work, good company, and a well-earned cigar. The whole evening in one line.

Best for: the porch guy. Pair it with the Brothers of the Leaf collection.

THE COMMON BOND LOGO TEE — $30 CLASSIC / $32 VINTAGE

When you don't want a statement, just the brand. Clean, simple, done.

Best for: anyone who already has ten graphic tees and needs a workhorse.

CLASSIC OR VINTAGE?

Classic tee ($30): 100% cotton, lighter weight, structured fit, holds its shape. Layers well under a hoodie on a cold job site.
Vintage garment-dyed heavyweight ($32): thicker, super soft, ring-spun cotton, faded on purpose. It looks worn-in on day one and only gets better.

Everything here is unisex, sizes S through 5XL, in seven colorways. Size up if you want room to move.
