Growth
Started by two building contractors Ed & Dan after they lost a close mate to suicide, TradeMutt is a social enterprise workwear company by tradies for tradies. (tradies are what they call contractors and blue collar workers in Australia. Electricians, builders, plumbers, farmers, truck drivers etc)
​
TradeMutt makes funky, eye-catching work shirts designed to start conversations that cut below the surface level bullshit.
​
TradeMutt donates 50% of their profits to TIACS, a professional mental health counselling service in Australia for tradies, truckies, farmers, and blue collar workers that's completely free.
Every TradeMutt shirt in the wild is another reminder: You'll Never Walk Alone.

Our goal is for anyone who wears a TradeMutt shirt to take an empathetic, compassionate, and non-judgmental approach to any conversation they end up in. We all ride the ups and downs of life every day and sometimes an understanding conversation is all anyone needs.
STEINBAUER USA & TradeMutt - how did it start?
STEINBAUER USA Operations Manager, Sherie Jones is a proud Australian and was first introduced to the TradeMutt brand in late 2018 when attending a funeral for a farmer she went to school with. Death by suicide has been at the forefront of the farming community for many years, and Sherie wanted to quietly show her support and raise awareness on her travels to farms throughout the USA.
"One of the hardest parts about my job is attending funerals of farmers. Wearing my TradeMutt shirts, has prompted many conversations and helps to bring this cause to the forefront, in a relatable way..."
STEINBAUER started a partnership with Farm4Profit podcast in 2023 and hosts Corey, Tanner and Dave have embraced the TradeMutt movement and can be seen wearing a variety of prints on their YouTube channel
