The Journey of Rude Wear

Rude Wear began as a series of smart-assed remarks that have been refined over the years into Smug remarks and One-liners that most everyone can enjoy.  And, for those who don’t, obviously, they are in the wrong place :).     Our founder, a seasoned mechanic, combined his love for working with his hands, as well as humor, combined with a passion for bold fashion. Inspired by the grit and determination of American workers, he set out to create a line of apparel that embodies the spirit of those who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty. With each piece crafted in the USA, we are committed to delivering high-quality, unapologetic designs that speak to the rebel in all of us.
