Hutch BMX was founded in 1979 by Maryland bicycle shop owner Richard Hutchins, who turned his ideas for a purpose-built racing bike into one of BMX's most recognizable brands. The company's earliest frames were designed and manufactured by Profile Racing through the early 1980s before production shifted to Speed Unlimited, the builder behind Thruster racing bikes. Hutch later brought frame production in-house, but intense competition from rapidly growing rivals like GT and Haro eventually forced the company to move manufacturing to Taiwan. While other major brands successfully made the same transition without hurting their image, Hutch loyalists largely rejected the overseas-built frames, which were widely viewed as inferior in quality to the original American-made bikes. The loss of its premium reputation proved difficult to overcome, marking the beginning of the brand's decline during BMX's first boom.
Like all our designs, this one is treated with our signature ‘relic-ing’ process which includes our own secret recipe of hand-painted chipping, cracking, fading, and just the right touch of yellowing to ensure that it looks the part of a true vintage imprint.** We lay these works of art down on premium Bella+Canvas 3001 Unisex Jersey Short Sleeve Tees, one of the softest, best-wearing t-shirts available today, via state of the art direct to garment (DTG) printing which allows us to create a vintage effect that simply can’t be accomplished with other printing methods. In short, these shirts are everything you’ve dreamed of and more – it feels soft and lightweight with just the right amount of stretch, making it comfortable and flattering for both men and women.

Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our tees are all made using premium, pre-shrunk, ring-spun cotton, there can be some shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you’re on the fence, we always suggest going up a size.
