Description

Ribs (noun): the reason there's a roll of paper towels on every picnic table.
Sauce on the fingers. Sauce on the chin. Sauce somewhere it has no business being.
A clean bite, a pink smoke ring and a pile of bones that keeps getting taller.
Nobody eats ribs politely, and nobody should.

Heavyweight cotton that feels broken in, not worn out. Built to handle whatever the ribs throw at it.

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 measures a good night in empty bones

It Brings People Together
Ribs turn grown adults into kids. Everybody digs in with their hands, conversation turns to laughter, and the competition over the last bone gets serious. Spare ribs or baby backs, sauced or dry, the result's the same: a messy table and a happy crowd.

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.
