Rod Shop Collective started as an Instagram page and grew into a hot rod–inspired apparel brand built by lifelong gearheads. I’ve been a hot rodder since I was born. My dad, a career machinist by trade, spent his life drag racing and building hot rods, and I grew up in the shop right alongside him.

Today, we still build and create together in our small shop, where Rod Shop Collective graphic t-shirts and apparel are individually hand screen printed in Louisville, Kentucky. Our designs are inspired by classic hot rods, drag racing, welding, and the do-it-yourself spirit of the automotive community.
