(Second Chance) Brake Shirt - Blue
Second Chance items were returned after being size-exchanged and cannot be sold as new. They show no signs of wear and were only worn once, to determine they were not the correct size for the original recipient. As such, they are offered at a 50% discount and because of this are not eligible for further discounts nor for returns or size exchanges, unless a defect is present.
Brakes don’t get the same fanfare that engines do, but they are an equally essential part of a spirited drive. We’ve isolated the mechanical beauty of a drilled rotor and painted caliper in a tribute to the stopping power of big brakes—the faster you slow down, the faster you can go. Made with a bright blue caliper to denote your tribe. Red and yellow calipers also available.

The Shirt
We use a 50/50 Los Angeles Apparel shirt for this design, made proudly sweatshop-free in the United States. An ultra-soft, ultra-comfy shirt that feels like you’ve owned it for years the moment you put it on, and for years to come. Sure, these cost us a few more dollars than other brands, but we believe the premium quality is worth every penny. This shirt is a middle ground between the Tri-Blend and 100% Cotton shirts—blending the two fabrics (50% Polyester and 50% Ring-Spun Cotton) increases strength, decreases weight, and adds softness and breathability.
The Printing
This shirt is silk-screened by skilled craftsmen in Portland, Oregon, and is our first to use both discharge and plastisol inks. The caliper print uses blue plastisol ink on top of a base-layer of white ink to get a truly bright, saturated print just like a painted caliper. We use a discharge ink for the rotor print to create a fun juxtaposition, mirroring the contrasting textures of the real-life objects. Unlike plastisol inks which place a layer of plastic-like ink on the surface, discharge inks actually dye the fibers of the fabric. This leaves a printed area that is light and soft to the touch and bleaches the original dye from the organic fabric; this creates a distinct heathered effect when used on poly-blend fabric, giving the print a broken-in or vintage feel.
Every order includes our H&T Sticker Card for free.
