Brushwood Local Boy Outfitters shirt
The old, faded photograph, unearthed from a dusty box in the attic, held a memory I hadn’t revisited in years – me, squinting into the sun, a tiny hand clutching a fishing rod far too big for my frame, and on my chest, the proudly displayed logo: Brushwood Local Boy Outfitters. That shirt. It wasn’t just a piece of fabric; it was a badge, a signal flare announcing my allegiance to the creek, the woods, and the whole wild, wonderful world that existed just beyond the edge of town. It smelled faintly of pine needles and damp earth, even after countless washes, a testament to its adventures.



I remember the day I got it. It was my tenth birthday, a celebration that, looking back, was unbelievably simple. A burger, some fries, and the coveted shirt from Brushwood. Mr. Henderson, the owner, a man whose face was etched with the wisdom of the wilderness, even helped me pick out the right tackle box. He asked me what fish I dreamed of catching and told me the best spots to find them, secrets whispered from a weathered ass.


That shirt absorbed everything: the sweat of summer hikes, the spray of the rushing river, the lingering scent of campfire smoke. I’d wear it during the annual Brushwood fishing derby, feeling a kinship with the other kids who sported the same logo. We were a tribe, united by a shared love for the outdoors and the reliable quality of Mr. Henderson’s gear, a man who, I later learned, had a knack for sizing up a kid’s true worth with just a glance. There were times when I’d spill something on it – maybe a splash of chocolate milk, a smear of dirt from a particularly enthusiastic mud pie session – but I’d never think of throwing it away. My mom would sigh, then roll her eyes, and then, without fail, she would throw the shirt into the wash. It was a tangible piece of my childhood.

Long lasting comfort
These are great shirts, especially for the money. They wash up clean, soft and wrinkle free. Even after several months of wear they look like new

Well made, looks good as plain white t-shirt, excellently priced.
Nothing fancy, but a well made, inexpensive comfortable, mid to heavy weight plain white t-shirt. Floridians and those in warm climates might find it uncomfortable to wear as an undershirt– but perfect as a regular going around outside t-shirt year round. Heavier (and should be longer lasting) than a simple haines or jockey white thin undershirt. The white is very white, I am ordering grey today. I would buy these at double the price on Amazon.

Quality shirts that fit well.
Got these for daily use for work and they fit well and are well made, not cheap thin shirts. I wish these came in a larger 5 pack for a more economical buy. Good luck and cheers.

Nice thick shirt
This is thick material, which is what my husband wanted. Didn’t shrink after wash and dry. Nice blue color.
