Channel your inner industrial history buff with this tribute to Canada's forgotten heavy equipment pioneer, Tor Truck Corporation. Originally designed in 2008 for a reunion of former employees, this shirt gained unexpected traction among vintage machinery enthusiasts and local history collectors. The design saw a surge of interest in 2015 when the demolition of the original Mississauga plant sparked renewed curiosity about the company's legacy. However, after the passing of the reunion's organizer and the dispersal of original company records, production was discontinued in 2017, making surviving pieces treasured artifacts of Canadian industrial heritage.
The vintage-inspired, weathered design captures the rugged spirit of Tor's innovative crane, logging, and mining vehicles, printed using state-of-the-art direct-to-garment technology for incredible detail and durability. Each shirt features a distressed finish that gives it an authentic, workshop-worn appearance right out of the package.
Crafted from premium Gildan 5000 heavyweight cotton (5.3 oz, 100% preshrunk), this shirt offers both comfort and durability. The classic unisex fit suits all body types, while the tear-away label ensures irritation-free wear. Available in sizes S-5XL and multiple color options to suit your style.
