Mud, Mayhem & Made-in-Canada Style – What to Wear to Mud Runs & Tractor Pulls

 

There’s nothing like the smell of diesel, dirt in the air, and the sound of a revving engine that rattles your chest. Whether you’re deep in the pit or cheering from the sidelines with a Caesar in hand, mud run and tractor pull season is a whole different kind of country fun.

And let's be real—you're gonna get dirty. But that doesn't mean you can't look damn good while you do it.

If you haven't heard the story yet, listen closely. These aren’t just cool shirts with clever sayings. Every piece is designed, dyed, woven, and sewn right here in Canada—made in Toronto, printed in London, ON, and crafted with real folks in mind. It's quality that holds up to the messiest days and the rowdiest nights.

So if you're heading to a mud park, derby track, or pull-off weekend, here’s your go-to guide for outfits that work just as hard as your engine.

Outfit #1: “Let’s Get Dirty” – And Mean It

Tee: LET’S GET DIRTY TEE – ORANGE

This tee ain’t just a clever line—it’s a whole mood. That bold orange pops in the mud pit crowd, and the fit? Built for action. Whether you're behind the wheel or just elbow-deep in chili fries, it wears like a workhorse.

Why It Works:

  • Bright enough to stand out in the dust cloud

  • Dyed and sewn in Canada, so it won't fall apart after one wild weekend

  • Soft and breathable—perfect for heat and humidity

  • Easy to throw in the wash and wear again (and again)

Wear It With:

  • Ripped jeans or cutoff overalls

  • Tall socks and cowhide boots you don’t mind messin’ up

  • A trucker cap, messy bun, and dirt under your nails—obviously

  • Layered leather bracelets or a silver ring stack for a bit of rugged shine


Outfit #2: “Weed, Willie & Whiskey” with a Little Grime

Tee: WEED, WILLIE & WHISKEY – OLIVE GREEN

For the laid-back outlaws who just wanna watch the trucks spin tires while they sip a beer in the back of a pickup. The olive tone hides dust and grease better than most and still looks fire in a group photo.

Why It Works:

  • It’s soft but sturdy—sewn locally to last

  • The fit is relaxed without being sloppy

  • The vibe? Pure outlaw

  • You can re-wear it to a concert or fall fair—versatile as heck

Wear It With:

  • Dark denim or black cargo shorts

  • A flannel tied around the waist for when it cools off

  • Cowhide boots or well-worn work boots

  • Silver chain or Four Elks’ stone pendant necklace to add just a bit of grit


Outfit #3: The Rough & Ready Shawl Layer

Layer Piece: Rustic West Shawl

Some folks think a shawl’s too fancy for the track—but not this one. The Wheat Shawl is soft like a blanket but stitched like a jacket, and honestly? Once the sun dips and the air cools, you’ll be the one staying warm and stylin’.

Why It Works:

  • Made in Canada with cozy craftsmanship

  • Oversized, breathable, and perfect for campfire hangs post-race

  • Layers easy over your tee—just toss it on when the trucks go quiet

Best Combo:

  • Let’s Get Dirty tee + Wheat Shawl + black jeans

  • Boots, belt, and a beer—done


Guys’ Mud-Ready Gear

Let’s keep it simple. For the guys who come for the noise and stay for the beer, you want clothes that handle grease, dirt, and spilled chili without lookin’ like you rolled outta bed.

Recommended Tees:

Pair with:

  • Cargo shorts, jeans, or mechanic pants

  • Snapback hat + wraparound sunnies

  • Minimal jewelry (unless you're the type to rock a leather cuff—and if so, go for it)


Accessories That Can Take a Beating

Just because you’re headed into the mud doesn’t mean you can’t dress it up a little.

Top Picks:

  • Leather wrap bracelets – durable and won’t rust

  • Simple silver earrings or studs – small enough not to snag

  • Necklaces with meaning – pick a stone or charm that feels like you

And don’t forget the boots. Cowhide cowboy boots are tougher than most work boots, and they’ll age even better with a few splashes of mud.

Real Talk: Why Buy Four Elks?

This isn’t your big box store impulse tee. Every single shirt is:

  • Designed, dyed, woven, and sewn in Toronto

  • Printed in London, ON

  • Crafted in small batches by real people who care about what they’re making

When you buy Four Elks, you’re supporting local Canadian makers, and you’re getting clothing that feels personal—not pumped out by machines in some warehouse.

These are clothes built to move, built to last, and built for you.


💛 Made right here in Canada—designed, dyed, sewn, and printed with heart. When you wear Four Elks, you’re repping more than a look—you’re supporting real people.
