Ohio Motorcycle T-Shirts & Bobber Apparel

Drive southeast out of Columbus and the land opens up into hemlock-lined sandstone gorges at Hocking Hills, one of the best touring corridors in the Midwest. Ride north and you hit the Lake Erie shore highway, flat and fast with the water pulling wide to your left. Somewhere between those two runs, in Pickerington, sits the American Motorcyclist Association's Hall of Fame Museum - over a hundred historic machines on permanent display, the closest thing American V-twin culture has to a national archive. Ohio is where the ride lives and where it gets remembered. Original Ohio biker shirts, printed on heavyweight ring-spun cotton, shipped to riders in over 70 countries.

Buck, Buckeye, and the Hall of Fame

Ride the Hocking Hills corridor at dusk and you will meet the mark on this apparel before you ever see it on cotton - the white-tailed deer stepping off the tree line. We drew the buck in side profile, alert, antlers full but clean, nothing borrowed from any university program. It is the animal that shows up in all 88 counties, on the rural two-lanes and the shore highway alike. Around him we built the ride: a sandstone gorge from Hocking Hills, the red cardinal on a buckeye branch, and the Lake Erie horizon flattening out behind. The Pickerington museum sits in back because it is the stop touring riders make to see where classic motorcycle history is kept. The banner reads 'Buckeye', what every Ohio rider answers to.

Materials & Who It's For

This one is the right pick for the Ohio-born rider buying something that represents home without defaulting to a sports team logo. It also lands as a souvenir for anyone who made the pilgrimage to Pickerington and wants to carry something back. Tees are heavyweight 5.3oz ring-spun cotton, side-seamed and pre-shrunk. Hoodies are 8.0oz cotton-poly fleece, double-needle stitched where it counts. Caps are raised embroidery on a structured six-panel. Every piece is checked by hand before it ships and tracked to your door in over 70 countries.
