2 designs of the same line, so you can pick the artwork rather than settle for the first one you find.
Welder rather than fabricator — welders join metal, fabricators build the thing. We list both because the trade treats them as different jobs.
A cleaner print than the other welder shirt here, without the sparks behind the text.
Trade and profession shirts are specific on purpose. Someone who says they are a welder will not accept a near-miss title, and the closely related jobs each have their own version — that precision is the whole point of the joke.
The 2 designs here all name the same job, so pick on how loud the artwork is. Anything worn to work should read cleanly at a glance rather than crowd the chest with a second punchline.
Best for someone a few years into the work — long enough that the job has its own vocabulary and its own complaints. For a new starter it can read as presumptuous, and for someone who has left the trade it reads as nostalgia rather than a joke.
Every welder’s casual clothing has burn holes in it, which is why this is bought to be worn rather than kept. Nobody who welds owns a shirt without at least one small hole.
The processes are separate skills — MIG, TIG and stick are not interchangeable, and someone who does pipe TIG will say so.
The other reliable joke is the eyes. Everyone has flashed themselves once and remembers exactly how it felt.
The wording only works when it names the exact job, so it is worth checking before you buy. Architect, Bank Teller and Barber each have their own page with their own designs, and there are more below.
