PATINA OVER PERFECTION is a women's boxy graphic tee with a pin-up mechanic sitting on the tailgate of a rusty patina pickup, done in old-school tattoo flash style across the front. She's in a knotted red plaid shirt, cutoffs and cowboy boots, wrench in hand, with a vulture perched on the bed rail and another painted on the door. Vulture Kustoms script across the top, a red toolbox, flames, roses, crossed wrenches and a lucky horseshoe under the "Patina Over Perfection" banner.

It's designed by Vulture Kustoms, two neighbors who build rat rods and classic trucks in their driveways in Orange Park, Florida. It's for the woman who'd rather have honest rust than a perfect paint job. Wear it to car shows, cruise-ins and garage nights, tucked into high-rise jeans or loose over shorts. It's a great gift for the garage girl, truck girl or hot rod wife in your life.

FAQ

How does the boxy tee fit?
It's wide and relaxed with a slightly cropped length. Order your usual size for the intended oversized look, or size down for a closer fit.

Why does my shirt's color look slightly different from the photos?
Comfort Colors shirts are garment-dyed, so every shirt has small natural shade differences. That's part of the vintage look.

Is this a good gift for a woman who works on cars?
Yes. It's made for women mechanics, truck girls, rat rod builders and car show regulars.

What does Patina Over Perfection mean?
It's how we build: original, weathered paint over a fresh show finish. If you love a rusty truck that still runs, this one's for you. Read how to preserve patina on a truck.
