Empire Piston Apparel was founded in April 2026 by a team of four friends—Ben, Kaylee, Caiden and Robert—built on a shared passion for automotive culture and the lifestyle that surrounds it. From diesel trucks and classic builds to modern aftermarket projects, we live and breathe the community we represent.
What started as late-night conversations at a race track and a mutual love for custom vehicles quickly evolved into a brand dedicated to those who take pride in what they drive—and more importantly, what they build. Each founder brings a unique skill set, allowing Empire Piston Apparel to blend creativity, design, and business strategy into something authentic and driven.
Our mission is to create high-quality apparel and merchandise that speaks to builders, drivers, and enthusiasts alike—those who believe in doing things their own way. Every piece we create reflects the grit, individuality, and pride that define the automotive world.
More than just merch, Empire Piston Apparel represents a movement—one rooted in hard work, passion, and respect for the craft. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to staying true to our roots: real people, real builds, and a community that fuels everything we do.
