The Death By Ties Crewneck

The Build: On a Tie Gang there is no real start or end. From the beginning to the end of the work block it’s all gas and no brakes. It’s an exhausting feat of effort for both the operators and the labour force. This Crewneck is dedicated to the men and women who are there for the first tie pulled and the last one put in the ground.

The Specs: The Gildan G180 is an 8 oz. midweight powerhouse, engineered for rail workers and tradespeople facing the raw Canadian elements. Built with a high-density 50/50 US Cotton/Polyester blend, this crewneck utilizes Air Jet Yarn technology to create a smooth, low-friction face that provides superior wind resistance on the line and a pill-resistant exterior that stands up to heavy-duty friction.

Designed for a professional, bulk-free fit, it features double-needle topstitching at all high-stress points and 1x1 athletic ribbing with spandex for high-tension stretch recovery. This ensures a tight, draft-proof seal at the neck and cuffs that won't sag after long shifts. Preshrunk and quarter-turned to hold its shape, the G180 is the ultimate streamlined workhorse for those who need thermal protection without the snag-risk of a hood.

The Print: We don’t do "flimsy." Our gear is built using a high-pressure DTG (Direct-to-Garment) process that bonds specialized, heavy-duty inks directly into the fabric. This isn't a soft, delicate fashion print—it’s a rugged, high-friction finish designed to withstand the grind. You’ll feel the texture of the design, a reminder that the print is anchored deep into the fibers to prevent the cracking and peeling common with cheap heat transfers. It’s built to break in, not wear out.

Care Instructions: Machine wash warm, inside out, with like colors. Tumble dry on medium heat. The industrial-grade 50/50 blend is specifically designed for high-heat stability and minimal shrinkage, ensuring it’s ready for the next shift.
