Built for people with projects.
Nine Sixteen Supply Co. is garage-culture apparel for people who always have something torn apart, something half-finished, or something they probably should have left alone.
The ones with a garage that’s never quite empty. A parts list that keeps getting longer. A toolbox that somehow never has the 10mm when you need it. And at least one vehicle that has cost considerably more than anyone outside the garage will ever understand.
We’re car people, builders, fixers, fabricators, DIYers, and chronic project collectors.
We’d rather repair something than replace it. We see potential where other people see work. And we know that “it should only take an hour” is one of the biggest lies ever told in a garage.
Why Nine Sixteen?
The name comes from September 2016 — when my wife and I got married.
She’s been putting up with the projects, tools, parts, bad ideas, and questionable financial decisions ever since.
Nine Sixteen started with a simple idea:
Make apparel for people like us without turning it into another cheap novelty T-shirt company.
There’s already enough disposable junk in the world.
We don’t need to add to it.
We Don’t Print on Cheap Crap.
A good design doesn’t mean much if it’s printed on a shirt you don’t actually want to wear.
That’s why we offer two shirt options instead of pretending one blank fits everybody.
Our Graphic Tees are printed on Gildan Softstyle 64000 shirts — a lighter, comfortable everyday tee that keeps the price reasonable without dropping into bargain-bin junk.
Our Premium Graphic Tees are printed on Comfort Colors 1717 garment-dyed shirts — heavier 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton with a relaxed fit and broken-in feel.
Same garage-culture designs. Pick the shirt that fits how you want to wear it.
Every U.S. order ships free.
Because if we wouldn’t want to wear it ourselves, we’re not putting Nine Sixteen on it.
Garage Culture, Not Costume.
Nine Sixteen isn’t about pretending to be a mechanic.
It’s about the people who actually know what it feels like to spend Saturday fighting one seized bolt, make three trips to the parts store, lose a socket that was in your hand five seconds ago, and still call it a good weekend.
Our designs come from that world.
Old trucks. Project cars. Tools. Garage humor. Broken parts. Bad decisions. The stuff people who build, fix, restore, and modify things recognize immediately.
Sometimes the joke becomes a shirt.
Sometimes the shirt becomes the joke.
Either way, it should feel like it belongs in the garage.
What We’re Building
Nine Sixteen is starting with shirts and hats, but the goal is bigger than another T-shirt store.
We’re building a garage-culture brand around the people, projects, tools, stories, frustrations, and questionable decisions that come with making old stuff work again.
Good apparel.
Good garage gear.
And hopefully a place where people with projects recognize a little bit of themselves.
