Started by two chippies Ed & Dan after they lost a close mate to suicide, TradeMutt is a social enterprise workwear company by tradies for tradies.
We make funky, eye-catching work shirts designed to start conversations that cut below the surface level bullshit.
We donate 50% of our profits to TIACS, a professional mental health counselling service for tradies, truckies, farmers, and blue collar workers that's completely free.
Every TradeMutt shirt in the wild is another reminder: You'll Never Walk Alone.

Our goal is for anyone who wears a TradeMutt shirt to take an empathetic, compassionate, and non-judgmental approach to any conversation they end up in. We all ride the ups and downs of life every day and sometimes an understanding conversation is all anyone needs.
TradeMutt shirts are designed to be a light-hearted, colourful approach to an otherwise dark conversation.
Conversations about mental health don't need to feel scary. These shirts are a simple icebreaker to help two people connect and relate to each other about the challenges we all experience day to day.
That's why every shirt says This Is A Conversation Starter across the back. Because that's exactly what they're designed to do.
Me and my best mate had been friends for decades. It wasn't until I wore a TradeMutt shirt one day that I found out his mum took her own life when he was a kid.
I was shocked that he'd never told me. Immediately I felt like I knew him so much better than I did before.
Not only can you make a powerful difference just by wearing the shirt, your purchase also directly funds a professional counselling service that is for free for you and your mates at work.
50% of TradeMutt's profits are donated to TIACS to make sure that professional mental health counselling is free for blue collar workers across Australia.
Under the left chest pocket every TradeMutt shirt has a QR code. Scan that QR code to get access straight to TIACS, a professional mental health counselling service for tradies, truckies, farmers, and blue collar workers.
You can wear TradeMutt shirts any day you want. But the one day of the week everyone has to wear a TradeMutt shirt is Funky Shirt Friday.
Our goal is to take the best of the day and turn it into a weekly ritual where an entire industry is up for having meaningful conversations that can help change or save a life.
TradeMutt shirts are great on site and they're great on weekends. From pre-start to the footy pitch, a TradeMutt shirt looks great everywhere — even under your suit jacket.
Be prepared: once you buy your first TradeMutt shirt, you'll start seeing them everywhere.
Get on board a movement that's actually making a difference and throw on a TradeMutt shirt.
Great shirt. Love the message! Always makes me feel great.
