Shopping for an electrician is harder than it should be. They already own every tool you can pronounce, they will absolutely judge a multimeter bought on sale, and the last thing they want is another novelty mug. What actually lands: a shirt that says the quiet part of the trade out loud — the hourly-rate math, the 'watched a YouTube video' customers, the calls that start with “so I tried fixing it myself first.”
Every design below is designed in-house at Kindling & Hammer and printed to order on a premium Bella+Canvas tee, so it ships new — never warehouse-stale — with tracking. Here are our favourites, chosen by how hard actual electricians laughed.

Common questions
What size should I buy for an electrician who won't tell me?
Our tees are unisex Bella+Canvas 3001 and run true to size. If he wears a large in anything, buy a large. Between sizes, go up one — nobody has ever complained a work-adjacent tee was too comfortable.
Are these shirts okay for actual job sites?
They're everyday-weight cotton tees, great under a work shirt or for the days off. For the shop, many people size up and let them fade into the rotation — the print is direct-to-garment and holds up to real laundry.
How long does shipping take? I need this for a birthday.
Each shirt is printed to order in 2-5 business days, then ships tracked. Most North American orders arrive within 5-10 business days, so order a couple of weeks ahead for a specific date.
