Size guide

Use this guide to choose your size. It lists body measurements: the size of the person wearing the garment, not the garment itself. Fit varies between brands and styles, so where a product's description gives its own measurements or fit (for example an oversized fit), follow that. If you are between sizes or not sure, ask us before you buy.

Men's and unisex tops

T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts and jackets. Most of our T-shirts and hoodies are unisex: women can use their bust measurement as the chest measurement.

S 91.5 to 96.5 36 to 38
M 99 to 104 39 to 41

How To Use

Wearing and styling

  1. Wear it over a T-shirt on colder show and meet days.
  2. Pair it with jeans, cargos or track pants.
  3. Tuck the hood cords in when leaning over an engine bay.
  4. Compare your size with a hoodie you already own before ordering.
  5. Take it off before any hands-on detailing or workshop jobs.

Washing and care

  1. Follow the care label inside the garment.
  2. Turn it inside out before washing to protect the print.
  3. Wash with similar colours at a low temperature.
  4. Avoid bleach and harsh detergents.
  5. Do not iron directly over the print.
  6. Dry naturally, or on a low heat only if the care label allows it.

Top Tip: Turning it inside out before every wash helps protect the print from rubbing against other clothes in the drum.

The Brand

Driver Apparel

Driver Apparel is a car culture label making T-shirts, hoodies and accessories for car fans. Its designs play on the language of car culture. Drop Cars Not Bombs is made for owners whose cars are slammed, Weekend Psycho is for anyone who wants to let loose with some hardcore driving after a hard week at work, and the Thrashed Tee gives classic skate branding a Driver Apparel twist for fans who moved from kick push to kick down.

The Drivers HQ stocks Driver Apparel across clothing and accessories. The T-shirts include the Truck Racer Tee, Drop Cars Not Bombs Vol.2 and the Golf Tee. Accessories include the yellow Flight Tag key chain and the reversible Flip Lanyards.

Driver Apparel suits anyone building a car culture wardrobe to wear to meets, shows or on a weekend drive. A graphic tee such as Drop Cars Not Bombs or Truck Racer makes the statement, a flight tag finishes a set of keys, and a lanyard keeps them to hand.

Buy Driver Apparel from The Drivers HQ with UK-wide delivery, or call in at our walk-in store in Ilkeston, Derbyshire. Whether you are after a new tee for the next meet or a flight tag for your keys, you can combine Driver Apparel with car care products and other car culture clothing and accessories from across our range in a single order.

DRIVER APPAREL DROP CARS NOT BOMBS Vol.2 - The Drivers HQ

Designs for Slammed Cars and Weekend Drivers

Driver Apparel's designs are built around the way car fans talk and drive. Drop Cars Not Bombs is a play on words aimed at owners of lowered cars, and Vol.2 is a redesign of the original for fans of the first version. Weekend Psycho celebrates the feeling everyone knows, a hard week at work followed by the urge to let loose with some hardcore driving.

Other designs reach beyond cars. The Thrashed Tee mixes classic skate branding with a Driver Apparel twist for fans who have always been part of the skate scene but moved from kick push to kick down, and the Thrashed Decal puts a similar spin on a classic design for the car itself. The Truck Racer Tee, with its outline race truck, is for anyone who loves, drives or races trucks.

Alongside the graphic designs, Driver Apparel keeps some pieces simple. The Basics Hoodie carries a chest logo, an approach its description calls the simple yet effective route, and the Swish Hoodie in khaki green adds thick toggles and a flock Driver Apparel logo on the chest.

DRIVER APPAREL BASICS HOODIE – GRAPHITE - The Drivers HQ

Tees, Flight Tags and Lanyards

T-shirts make up most of the range. The Drop Cars Not Bombs and Thrashed tees are described as super-soft and semi-fitted in an 80% cotton and 20% polyester blend, the Weekend Psycho Tee as a lightweight 100% combed ringspun cotton tee, and the Truck Racer Tee as 100% cotton at 185gsm, with a logo that is screen printed rather than vinyl. All of them are machine washable and preshrunk, with hang drying recommended.

The accessories carry the Driver Apparel name onto keys and cars. The Flip Lanyards are inverse reversible, made from 100% pure woven nylon with a metal lobster clip and a release buckle, and come in pink and black, red and white, and yellow and black. The yellow Flight Tag finishes any set of keys.
