what we know, without a single doubt

fuel purpose, ignite freedom

For every tradesperson, calling and community in the good ole U S of A

brick by brick

a better blue collar experience

Purpose-Built Trade Co. is an ode to the good ole days.

A time of substance when people felt a strong sense of purpose and belonging from simple pleasures and hard work — using your hands, getting dirty, building something, physical hobbies, a home-cooked meal with family and friends, whiskey neat.  Somewhere, some of us lost our grit, the will to rise with the sun, pass times that ignite our spirit, pride and freedom. 

We hold the upmost respect for local legends who risk it all on the front lines — saving lives, up top 100’ cranes, at the torch, in the pasture, under the hood, fixing the commode.

OUR MISSION

MAKE EACH TRADE AND COMMUNITY STRONGER

Strength: the ability to endure, overcome + prosper

We're here to rally, educate and invest in hardworking people until we're blue in the face.

foundation forward

BUILT FROM THE GROUND UP

Foundation is critical – the strength and stability of your structure depends on it. We classify foundation as the right boots for your feet and job. 26 bones, 33 joints and 100+ muscles, ligaments + tendons – your feet are the root cause of pain in your knees, hips and lower back.

We’ve spent over a decade laying the groundwork to properly assess and fit you for function and comfort day in, day out.  Your pain points keep us up at night. We aim to provide solutions that prevent and treat imbalance, injury and pain. Our products are Blue-Collar Tested and Proven – look out for our Purpose-Built Standard Mark.

APPRECIATION FOR OUR HISTORY AND OUR FUTURE

Purpose-Built History

Our first store opened in 2010, as East Bay Work Wear, by my brave in-laws, Glenn and Robin Moffatt. Their mission was to serve local markets loyally and solve the simple need of carrying what Blue Collar families needed. Today, we are known for housing deep inventory for every size, gender and age. We graduated from 1 to 4 thriving stores, a kick-ass team and plans for expansive 360-growth to provide support in ways Blue Collar never dreamed of.
