How to upstyle a t-shirt

T-shirts are classic for a reason. They’re comfortable and versatile. You can pick up a 3-pack for a few bucks or splurge for a high-fashion twist on an old favorite. Tees are an easy way to express your personality and flare for creativity.

At the V8 Ranch, we got into the tee game as a simple way to create a “uniform” for our staff. We figured we work awful hard, we might as well be comfortable! Soon, our guests began asking us where they could pick up a V8 Ranch shirt too, so now we have an entire collection of branded apparel.

T-shirts don’t have to be for slingin’ hay and muckin’ stalls (though we do those things in them!). Here are a few ways you can upstyle your V8 Ranch shirt to create your own brand of aesthetic.

Style 1:

The Classic Cowboy (Or Girl!)

When you think American Brahman, you think Texas. Pair your V8 Ranch t-shirt with a pair of well-fitted blue jeans or denim shorts, some rugged cowboy boots, and a favorite hat. You’ll be the epitome of relaxed Western charm!

The Land of the Free V8 tee features patriotic colors and a vintage truck driven by a Brahman heifer! You’ll find our classic V8 Ranch brand on the truck door and the text reads “Land of the Free”. This two-sided design features the truck on the front pocket, and full size artwork on the back. 

This short sleeve crew tee shirt comes in white and is unisex sizing. Made with Gildan Comfort Colors material, this shirt is made to last with exceptional construction, softness, and durability, using only high-quality, USA-grown ring-spun cotton.

Style 2:

Flannel Fusion

No matter the season, flannel is a classic fashion staple. V8 Ranch is known as a top Brahman cattle ranch, so you’ll find our signature long eared cows ever-present on our apparel. Layer your V8 Ranch tee under a cozy flannel shirt for an evening by the firepit or a night out with your best friends. Pair it with your favorite worn-in jeans and lace-up boots for a relaxed, effortlessly cool vibe. 

Our dark heather gray “Life is Better With Brahmans” V8 Tee features a beautiful outline of one of V8 Ranch’s Brahman heifers, printed text, and a delicate floral motif. 

Made from top-quality Bella+Canvas material, with a comfortable unisex fit and short-sleeved design, this tee is perfect for running errands, spending time outdoors, or chillin’ fireside with the squad.

Style 3:

Festival Ready

Embrace your free spirit with this boho-inspired look. Top your favorite floral skirt with your V8 Ranch tee, add a stylish denim jacket, and cap your look off with a wide-brimmed hat (and don’t forget your sunglasses!) 

Our Mustard V8 Texas Cactus Tee is supremely soft and gives you that worn-in comfort feel you love (but without the holes your mother complains about). 

The design features the outline of the great state of Texas, the rivers, cacti, and landscapes we’re known for. This tee is front-print only and one of the few without our signature V8 Ranch brahman show cattle on it.

Style 4:

Sunday Brunch

For Sunday brunch with your besties, layer a lightweight button-up over your V8 Ranch tee with a jean mini and your favorite boots. 

The Flowers on the Ranch V8 Tee pays homage to the bluebonnets, dewberries, Indian paintbrush, white dutch clover, huisache, mesquite, mexican olive, buffel grass, wild lantana, and yucca you’ll find all over our V8 Ranches. While you won’t find a world-famous brahman heifer on this design, they were consulted and are responsible for the addition of prickly pear cactus (because obviously we never say no to them). 

This shirt comes in white with a short sleeve, crew neck cut and unisex sizing. Material is Comfort Colors.

Style 5:

Bonfire Cool

Looking for what to wear to a bonfire? For hot summer days that flow into cool summer nights, pair a knit tribal sweater with cutoffs and your best V8 Ranch tee. Add a French tuck for an effortlessly cool look. 

This “Check’s in the Mail” Tee comes from the Sloan Williams Collection. It features one of Sloan Williams’ signature sayings, “Check’s In The Mail,” which he’d often holler out to the family as he hopped into his truck, as his way of saying “bye”. This short sleeve tee comes in blue with unisex sizing, and the material comes from Bella+Canvas.

Style 6:

Workout Fresh

Hit the trails and stay cool with a loose-fitting, cotton tee. Expect to get asked about the Brahman cow on this V8 Ranch shirt when you stop for a water break. It happens a lot! Pair with a sleek, All-American inspired “dad cap” designed to wick away sweat for an active lifestyle. 

The Carved V8 Tee comes in ivory with graphic front and back. The chest pocket artwork says V8 Ranch, Wharton County. The back design features the famous “carved V8” landmark of V8 Ranch alongside one of our prized brahman show cattle. This is a short sleeve, loose fitting tee shirt, with unisex sizing. The material is Gilden Comfort Colors, a popular choice among college students and adults with discerning taste.

Style 7:

Wilderness Hipster

Combining indie style with outdoor influences, pair a vintage-inspired tee with classic Americana accessories (bandana, Wayfarer sunnies) for camping, hiking, or a walk through the city. 

Our “Let Freedom Ring” Patriotic Brahman Tee comes in cream and features original artwork of a V8 Ranch Brahman bull with an American flag. This short sleeve shirt is unisex sizing, and made with Bella+Canvas material. 

At V8 Ranch, our big Brahman bulls are red, white, and blue all the way down to their bones. Showcase your American pride with this signature tee and “let freedom ring”.
