Description

Every first-timer asks the same question at the butcher counter.
"Wait... it's from the shoulder?"
Yep. Nobody knows exactly why it's called a butt. Everybody just goes along with it.
Ten hours later, it's pulled pork for twenty, and nobody cares what it's called.

Heavyweight cotton that feels broken in, not worn out. Built for long, forgiving cooks and big crowds.

Why You'll Love It
• Heavyweight, preshrunk cotton (heather colors are a cotton blend)
• Classic relaxed fit. Between sizes? Size up
• Double-needle stitching at the collar, sleeves and hem
• Black S–5XL · Graphite Heather S–5XL · Navy S–5XL · Royal S–5XL · Military Green S–4XL · Cardinal Red S–3XL
• The gift for the one who loves explaining that pork butt isn't from the butt

It Brings People Together
Pork butt might be the most generous cut in barbecue. It's forgiving for beginners, cheap enough to cook two, and big enough to feed a block party. Pile it on buns, set out the slaw and sauce, and let the crowd do the rest.

From the pit to a purpose

I'm Sean, a U.S. Army veteran and pitmaster of Risky Brisket Championship BBQ. After six years in the Army, BBQ became my therapy: the patience, the fire, the process. Eighteen years on the competition circuit later, I design every piece of Meat Sweats gear and wear-test it at contests and classes before it ever hits the site.

Today, 10% of net profits go directly to veteran mental health charities, because no one who served should fight alone. Every piece of gear you buy helps veterans get access to culinary arts as PTSD therapy through our 501(c)(3) charities.
