Tools of the Trade - Relaxed Fit Tee

Everything in the bag has a job. The Tools of the Trade relaxed fit tee from Conquering Barbell features a lifter's whole kit laid out like a coat of arms: crossed barbells, a studded leather belt down the middle, rolled knee wraps, wrist wraps, a block of chalk, a bottle of salts, and a kettlebell on each side. TOOLS OF THE TRADE arches overhead in cream blackletter with a red shadow, with CONQUERING BARBELL on a scroll banner underneath. ESTD 2014 and CONQUER THE WEIGHTS finish the print. Printed large across the front for lifters who pack the same bag for every session.

Made on a garment-dyed heavyweight cotton tee for a broken-in feel straight out of the bag. The relaxed fit, lived-in texture, and vintage wash make it a go-to for heavy sessions, rest days, and everything between.

  • 100% ring-spun cotton, garment-dyed for a soft, worn-in feel
  • Heavyweight construction with a relaxed, oversized fit
  • Garment dye process creates a unique vintage texture on every shirt
  • Large full-color front graphic with premium print quality
  • Classic unisex crew neck and short-sleeve cut
  • Printed to order in-house in Tennessee

    “Walks the walk.”

    THE BEST brand on the market hands down. Walks the walk and talks the talk. Amazing art work and design too. Fits perfectly and just like the guy above saying they abuse the shirts in the gym, same lol.

    “The perfect pump cover.”

    The relaxed fit one I got recently is the perfect pump cover/extra layer for me. In Alaska the gym can feel cool at times and I hate being cold when I train. Mississippi boy. I just order 3 more. CB versus erbody

A little help with the fit

Find your fit. Then chase the PR.

Like it snug on the arms? Room to breathe under the bar? Start with a shirt you already love.

  1. 1

    Lay your favorite shirt flat.

    Measure straight across, armpit to armpit. That's the chest width.

  2. 2

    Check the length.

    Measure from the back collar seam straight down to the bottom hem.

  3. 3

    Match it to ours.

    Compare with our garment measurements, or let Find my size do the math.

In their words

  • “Fits the big boys.”

    Really comfortable shirt for the big boys. I got the 3XL (I currently weight 305lbs standing at 6'1") and it fits perfectly. A little breathing room so on and so forth and it hangs lower than your normal tee. If you're about my size and want a tighter fit I would recommend the 2XL. Definitely recommend Conquering Barbell and will be back to purchase more.

  • “Exceeded Expectations!”

    Just received my order (3 flags & 2 tee shirts) & was genuinely surprised at how good the quality is. The flags themselves feel high quality, the black background is dark and the material feels substantial. The image on the flags is vivid & sharp with no “bleed over” at the edges of the image. The tee shirts again feel substantial. The images are sharp and vivid with a thickness to them that feels like the print will last. I ordered size L in the oversized tee’s and wasn’t sure how over sized they would be. I was pleasantly surprised that for my build they actually fit comfortably snug in the chest / back / arms & trim in the waist. (For context 5’9, 195)

    All in all, the quality exceeded what I was expecting & I will absolutely be ordering again soon. . Also & important to me, Audie (the owner) was extremely responsive in answering my emails even at evening hours. Great purchase for me.

  • “Outstanding quality.”

    Bought this and one of the squat, press and pull shirts and they are outstanding quality. By far some of the best shirts I have bought to train in.

    Justin B.Arlington, TX

  • “No issues with length.”

    Ordered the akuma XXL tank. Came out great. I’m 6,5 with a long torso and there weren’t any issues with length. Seller was responsive to my messages too.

    Blake L.Jacksonville, FL

  • “Print quality is excellent.”

    Friggin awesome tee. The cotton-poly blend makes for the perfect fit and comfort. And the print quality is excellent. I will buy more tees soon.

    Roman V.Lubbock, TX

  • “Fit was fantastic.”

    Very communicative and speedy response when I had a query. The tee came quickly to the uk and the fit was fantastic and very good quality cotton. The print and design is awesome. My husband loves it! As a powerlifter myself I love these niche designs! Thank you so much!

    Shana P.Wigan, UK

  • “Went above and beyond.”

    Great product. Customer service went above and beyond to accommodate my requests. Shipping was fast and packaged in a very secure manner so my shirts arrived undamaged. A++++++

    Chris W.Mayfield, KY

    Design is just perfect. My girlfriend likes it so much so took it for herself haha. Love it!

    Carlos F.Woodland Hills, CA
