Christmas Gifts for the Air-Cooled and Euro Car Guy (2026)
The Euro car guy comes in two flavours and they overlap at the edges. One is the air-cooled purist: engine behind the rear axle, a whale tail that was there for a reason, a deep suspicion of anything with a touchscreen. The other is the box-flare guy: square arches, a straight-six, a saloon that looks like it was drawn with a ruler. Both of them will tell you new cars are boring. Both of them are, on balance, right.
For the air-cooled purist

Super Wagon Tee
$36.99
The Super Wagon Tee is a side profile of a five-seat estate with a twin-turbo V8 that refuses to choose between the school run and a supercar. Wide arches, big brakes, ride height on the floor. It is the most quietly funny shirt we make, and the story behind it explains why.

If you are guessing his size
Our tees run true to size on a modern unisex cut; if he wears a medium in most brands, order a medium. If he likes a relaxed fit, go one size up. The organic raglan hoodies (Pocket Rocket, Save the Manuals, Chassis Series) run about one size trimmer than a classic heavyweight hoodie, so size up for a comfy fit. Every product page has the flat measurements, and if you reply to any of our emails with his usual brand and size we will tell you what to order.
Order by December 11 to be safe. Two tees, or any hoodie, ship free.
