{"product_id":"astra-red-top-forged-mid-weight-sweatshirt","title":"Astra Red Top Forged Mid-Weight Sweatshirt - Dean's Classic Cars","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart of the Toolforged line, from Dean's Classic Cars.\u003c\/strong\u003e Every car in this line is built from the tools that kept it running (spanners, sockets, cogs, plugs and pressed steel), arranged until the shape of the car appears out of them. No badges, no wordmarks, no logos on the car itself: just the machine, drawn in the language of the workshop floor. If you have ever had the bonnet up on a cold morning with your knuckles bleeding and the radio on, this line was made for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRight car. Wrong materials. Entirely on purpose.\u003c\/strong\u003e The silhouette, the stance and the year are true to the car. Everything filling them in is workshop steel that has no business being there. A socket where the grille sits. Spanners laid across a roof. A calliper behind a wheel it was never bolted to. Go looking for a part in the wrong place and you will find one, and that is the whole point: this is the car as the tools that kept it running would draw it, not a photograph of it. Zoom in. That is where the fun is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe lighter of our two crew necks. A 1990 Astra GTE 16V, forged from the tools that kept it alive, on a mid-weight French terry sweatshirt you can wear from March to November.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFront three-quarter with the bonnet up, sat inside a thin concentric ring with Dean's signature across the top. Look once and it is a Mk2 Astra GTE: the three-door hatch, the full body kit with its deep front spoiler and side skirts, the flush lamps. Look again and the body is spanners and pressed steel, a cog sits where the badge would be, and in the bay is the 2.0 sixteen-valve four with its red cam cover, with carmine red picked out across the tools. The plate reads GTE16V 90, white with black characters. A torque wrench lies across the bottom, engraved 1990 ASTRA GTE 16V. That red cam cover is where the engine got its nickname, and it is still the first thing an owner shows you with the bonnet up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eBuilt from the tools that built it.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDean's Classic Cars is one man's obsession, made wearable. Dean has spent his life around British cars from the era when you could still fix one on your own driveway, and every design in the collection starts from a real car, checked against the real specification, before a single tool is drawn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat matters, because the people who buy these know. They know how many wiper arms a Series 1 E-Type carried. They know a Mexico ran a pushrod Kent, not a twin cam. So nothing here is decorative guesswork. Get the car right and the artwork earns its place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt a glance:\u003c\/strong\u003e mid-weight crew neck sweatshirt on a SOL'S Comet, French terry in 80% organic cotton and 20% recycled polyester.

Spanners and pressed steel make the body, a cog sits where the badge would be, with carmine red on the tools, drawn in bright metal against the dark cotton so the shape reads clean from across a room. The car carries no maker's badge anywhere on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"Dean's Classic Cars","offers":[{"title":"S","offer_id":57451661427014,"sku":"7559418_12694","price":54.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":57451661459782,"sku":"7559418_12695","price":54.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":57451661492550,"sku":"7559418_12696","price":54.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":57451661525318,"sku":"7559418_12697","price":54.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXL","offer_id":57451661558086,"sku":"7559418_12698","price":54.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/6583\/7382\/files\/unisex-organic-sweatshirt-black-front-6ab54b06ad588.jpg?v=1790266130","url":"https:\/\/ricki-robin.store\/products\/astra-red-top-forged-mid-weight-sweatshirt","provider":"Ricki Robin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
