Twenty years on mine sites taught us what gear actually has to survive.

Grit N Grind started with someone who had spent long enough on mine sites to know what holds up and what doesn't. After twenty-plus years running mining operations, they were over gear that only looked the part. Long rosters, early starts, and a lot of kit that looked good in a catalogue but fell apart in the real thing showed us what needed to change. That's why our workwear tees online and other pieces are built as the other kind – made to cop real punishment on site and still look good when you knock off.
