Transit Tees x Old Style: A Chicago Original

Transit Tees has teamed up with Old Style Beer to celebrate Chicago’s legendary tavern and bar culture.

This collaboration blends Transit Tees’ bold design style with Old Style’s vintage charm, creating a lineup of apparel, accessories, and home decor that taps into the spirit of the city’s taverns and taprooms.

At the heart of this collection is The Chicago Handshake, a drinking card game inspired by the classic combo of a shot of Malört and an Old Style Tallboy. Born in Ukrainian Village and now embraced across the city, the Handshake is a rite of passage for any true Chicagoan. The game has become a fan favorite and helped spark a broader partnership with Old Style, bringing vintage logos, mascots, and dive bar vibes to life through unique products.

Notable items include the Old Style 6 Pack Ringer Tee, featuring art inspired by the “World’s Largest 6-Pack” in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Made from 100% ring-spun USA cotton, it’s soft, stylish, and full of history. For a more rugged look, try the Old Style Work Shirt,  durable, screen printed by hand in Chicago’s Wicker Park.

Accessorize your beer run with the Old Style 6 Pack Tote, made from heavy cotton canvas, or elevate your bar with the Old Style Sign Replica Lightbox, a glowing tribute to vintage bar signage. Don’t miss the LED Chicago Handshake Sign, a piece now found glowing in bars and homes throughout the city.

From socks and hats to art prints and barware, every piece in the collection pays tribute to Chicago’s gritty charm, brewing history, and neighborhood pride.

Whether you’re reliving memories of a favorite dive bar or discovering Chicago’s beer culture for the first time, this collection is a perfect way to show your local love.
