A standing hunt · sibling of the Bama Alumni Grail

The Vintage Tool Hunt

Pre-2016 tees and crewnecks (80s/90s preferred) from Milwaukee Electric Tools, Klein Tools, DeWalt, Husqvarna, Kubota, Craftsman, Bosch, Hitachi and friends, with no racing shirts — men's L/XL (22–24″ pit-to-pit). Age is judged by stitch, blank, tag or a printed date, never by the word "vintage" in a title.

Oct 16, 2026. One new hit: a third copy of the red K-Products Milwaukee Electric Tools "Made in the U.S.A." tee, in XL for $31.57 on Depop. It's the cheapest copy yet, but it has small holes, so the clean $40 copy is still the one to buy. Price drops: the Stihl "For Real Men" tee is now $40 and the Husqvarna crown crew is $19.99. Every prior card is still live; the Etsy and US Mercari cards weren't rechecked this run. Still no vintage Klein Tools shirt in L/XL for sale. All prices are asks; "OBO" usually closes 10–25% under.
