Built different. Broken first. Then rebuilt.

Designed by me in the UK. Printed to order for you by Printful. If it arrives wrong I'll put it right, and you can return it within 14 days. I read every email myself.

Everyone says they're built different. Most of the people I know who actually are got there the hard way. Something broke first: a back, a body, a mind, a life. Then they put it back together, slowly, with nobody clapping.

For years I worked as an engineer on a spine that was fractured and nobody knew. It ended in major surgery. I'm not the same build I was, and I've stopped pretending that's a weakness.

From the front it's two words across the chest. The back says the rest, starting with a line any engineer will recognise: Factory settings: cracked.

Why people wear it

  • To the gym, to physio, to rehab. For anyone rebuilding after an injury, an operation or a bad few years.
  • As a quiet signal. The people who know, know.
  • As a gift. For someone who's come back from something and never makes a fuss about it.

Who made it

I'm Jason. I spent years working around the world on undiagnosed spinal fractures, and carried the pain in ways that cost me a lot. My story.

The shirt

  • Bella+Canvas 3001, the soft unisex tee most good brands use
  • Seven colours: Black, Black Heather, Oxblood Black, Red, Forest, Military Green, Heather Grass Green
  • 100% combed ring-spun cotton (heather colours contain polyester), 142 g/m², lightweight and pre-shrunk
  • True to size, unisex fit, XS to 3XL. Lighter colours are slightly sheer
  • Gold BROKEN FIRST on the chest, the full line on the back
  • Printed to order for you by Printful, usually 2 to 5 working days, then posted with tracking
  • Wash inside out, cool, and the print lasts

My promise

If it arrives misprinted or damaged, email hello@stepintostability.com with a photo and I'll replace it or refund you, no return needed. Changed your mind? Send it back unworn within 14 days. One person reads every email, and it's me.
