Our Story
Tradecals was born from a conversation between mates on the job. We wanted something that just didn’t exist, so we got on creating it ourselves. We want to show the rest of the world what we do, with a range of awesome merch that’s all about us - tradies. We’ve laid the foundations, now we’re busy fleshing out a line of gear inspired by the hard working legends of the building and construction world. So hold on to your hard hats ladies and gents, because we’re just getting started.
Made By Tradies, For Tradies
To those of us who have ever had to wake up at 4am in the morning to pour an epic slab. Or those who have ever had to wait around in the mud well past home time to finish putting in those last few downpipes. To all the unsung heroes of physical labour who have broken their backs building homes, schools, skyscrapers and bridges. Tradecals is for you.
Why We Exist
From the dawn of civilization, tradespeople have sculpted empires with their bare hands. While others pondered the mysteries of the universe, our ancestors were busy building. Our forefathers erected Stonehenge, the Pantheon and the spires of cathedrals. They laid the foundations of our modern cities. We are the culmination of thousands of years of blood, sweat and tears. Every tradesperson is a hero, and every job we do is a testament to human strength.
Yet, for all our epic feats, we work humbly in the background. Our stories etched into calloused hands and whispered through the winds of scaffolding. We sought no accolades, no applause, only the satisfaction of a job well done, a half decent paycheck, and maybe a couple of cold ones to finish off our days. Well, we think we deserve more! That’s why we’re here.
