Bricklayer & Stonemason Hats

Bricklaying is one of the oldest trades there is, and its workforce is shrinking. UK bricklayer numbers have fallen to their lowest level in over 25 years, the smallest since 1998, with about 30 percent of the trade set to retire within a decade. A human bricklayer lays roughly 500 bricks on an average working day, while the Hadrian X laying robot is built to place over 1,000 an hour, which is the kind of comparison brickies enjoy making. In British and Australian English the trade goes by brickie, and stonemasonry is its own specialist craft of cutting and shaping stone. These bricklayer and stonemason hats are for the real masons, the ones who get asked about secret handshakes at parties. I'M A MASON THE REAL KIND answers that confusion directly, a joke the Freemason thread on Lemmy keeps making. BRICK BY BRICK is the one-brick-at-a-time phrase already on bricklayer shirts, ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL borrows the Pink Floyd lyric, and ROME WASN'T BUILT IN A DAY adds the alibi. THE THIRD LITTLE PIG HIRED ME and I LAY BRICKS IN A STRAIGHT LINE UNLIKE MY LIFE cover the roast side. BRICKLAYER and STONEMASON anchor the search terms. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Choose one for the brickie on your site, or the mason who built something that will outlast you.
