A true artifact from the golden era of Rat Fink and Kustom Kulture—scarce, storied, and straight from the pits.
Description

Wild rides. Greasy fingers. Big dreams. This original 1960s Rat Fink “Wild Child” short sleeve sweatshirt is pure garage gold. With a gnarly Ed “Big Daddy” Roth monster screaming across the back in signature hot rod chaos, this brown raglan-cut sweatshirt captures everything rebellious, weird, and wonderful about American car culture in its most unruly form.

Thick vintage loopback cotton with that just-right fade and patina—softened by time, revved up by character. Cut short and wide with raw seams and contrast stitching, it’s built like a mechanic’s uniform but wears like a cult classic. Whether you’re wrenching on a project bike, spinning punk vinyl, or just living loud, this piece earns its stripes.

Additional Information

Born in the SoCal custom car scene of the 1950s and ’60s, Rat Fink became an anti-hero mascot for a generation of gearheads, artists, and outlaws. Drawn by Ed “Big Daddy” Roth as a grotesque answer to Mickey Mouse, the character embodied a DIY spirit that bridged drag strips, tattoo parlors, and hot rod magazines. This piece likely came from an original Roth design printed during the height of his influence, when Southern California was ground zero for Kustom Kulture. A rare survivor from the garage underground.

One-of-a-kind. Road-tested. Don’t let this original piece of Kustom Kulture history get away—snag it before someone else does.
