About TradeMutt

I was two years out of my Carpentry trade and Ed was just starting out, fresh off a stint from working on a cattle station in the Northern Territory.

I was born and raised in the inner west suburbs of Sydney, and Ed is an authentic country lad hailing from Longreach Queensland.

We would seem an unlikely duo as I had never ventured west of Ipswich and Ed couldn’t really relate to my stories of interestingly diverse multicultural Sydney.

We did however immediately find common ground with our ability to recite, word for word, every scene from childhood favourite, Dumb and Dumber.

Our unwavering appreciation for Jim Carrey along with our solid work ethic quickly meant that working long hours was not so hard because no matter what the job at hand involved, we could always make each other laugh. Our mateship was founded on this attitude and has carried us through absolutely everything.

TradeMutt Workwear with Custom Logo Printing at ShopAce Brisbane

TradeMutt is not just workwear. It is a Queensland-born brand using bold, eye-catching garment designs to start mental health conversations on Australian worksites. Every TradeMutt purchase funds TIACS (This Is A Conversation Starter), a free mental health counselling service for tradies and their families. ShopAce stocks TradeMutt garments and adds your company logo via embroidery or DTF printing — combining professional branding with a genuine social purpose.

The TradeMutt Story: Workwear That Saves Lives

TradeMutt was founded in Queensland by two tradies, Daniel Allen and Ed Ross, following the loss of a close friend. Their insight was simple: workwear is the one thing every tradie wears every day. By making that workwear distinctive enough to attract comment — bold prints, striking colours — they create a natural opening for conversations about mental health that would otherwise never happen on a worksite.

The TIACS service funded by TradeMutt sales provides qualified psychologists available by phone and text at no cost to the user. For the mining crews, construction workers, electricians, and plumbers who make up TradeMutt’s customer base, TIACS offers support in a form and at a time that suits the way they work. Since launch, TradeMutt and TIACS have collectively reached tens of thousands of Australian tradies.

TradeMutt Garments Available at ShopAce

ShopAce stocks TradeMutt Hi-Vis shirts and polo shirts in their signature bold print designs. TradeMutt Hi-Vis garments are certified to Australian workwear standards, making them suitable for site use where AS/NZS 4602.1 compliance is required. The bold designs do not compromise the compliance ratings — the Hi-Vis fabric and retroreflective tape placement meet the standard requirements while standing out significantly from plain Hi-Vis alternatives.

TradeMutt also produces non-Hi-Vis polo shirts and casual workwear in their distinctive print range. For businesses wanting branded workwear that starts conversations but does not require site Hi-Vis compliance, these styles provide the same brand story and TIACS contribution in a more versatile garment format.

Adding Your Company Logo to TradeMutt Workwear

ShopAce applies company logo embroidery or DTF printing to TradeMutt garments, combining your business identity with TradeMutt’s distinctive design. Left-chest embroidery is the standard placement for corporate and trade logo applications. Sleeve embroidery is also available for businesses wanting a secondary logo position that does not compete with the TradeMutt front design.

The bold nature of TradeMutt prints means that logo placement requires a little more consideration than on plain garments. ShopAce advises on the best placement position for each specific TradeMutt style to ensure your logo is visible and legible against the garment’s print background. A digital preview is provided before production begins on embroidered TradeMutt orders.

Why Queensland Trade Businesses Are Choosing TradeMutt

A growing number of Queensland trade businesses have adopted TradeMutt as their standard workwear, using the shirts as both a practical uniform and a visible statement about their values. For business owners who have personal experience with mental health challenges in their industry — and in Queensland’s trades, most have — outfitting their crew in TradeMutt sends a clear message that the business takes mental health seriously.

There is also a practical business benefit. TradeMutt shirts generate genuine conversation at job sites, with homeowners and commercial clients often asking about the distinctive designs. That question is an opportunity to explain the TradeMutt story, which reflects positively on the business wearing them.
