Treeshirtz is back
Originally created in 2013 by tree surgeon and Arbtalk founder Steve Bullman, Treeshirtz grew directly from the arborist community. After going quiet for a number of years, the original artwork has come back out and Treeshirtz has been rebuilt for 2026.
Some familiar designs are returning, now available across more colourways, but this isn't simply about recreating what came before. There is also a growing range of new Treeshirtz designs and products, with arboriculture still firmly at the heart of the brand.
Where Treeshirtz began
The story starts in 2013 with Arbtalk, the online community founded by Steve Bullman for arborists and people working throughout the tree-care industry.
Treeshirtz was born from that community. Steve was a tree surgeon himself, and the original designs came from someone who understood the industry, its people and its culture.
Rather than trying to make generic outdoor clothing and attach a tree-work theme to it, Treeshirtz grew from within the community it represented.
What began with a handful of designs became a familiar name among arborists, climbers, foresters and members of the wider Arbtalk community.
Then Treeshirtz went quiet
As Arbtalk grew, so did the work involved in running the community. Treeshirtz gradually took a back seat and eventually became quiet.
But the important parts never really disappeared.
The name remained. The artwork remained. And, most importantly, the community and culture that Treeshirtz had grown from were still there.
It left an opportunity to bring Treeshirtz back when the time was right.
Bringing Treeshirtz back for 2026
That time has arrived.
With Steve's blessing and the original Treeshirtz artwork in hand, the brand has been rebuilt for 2026.
For anyone who remembers Treeshirtz from the first time around, there should be plenty that feels familiar. Original designs that formed part of the brand's history are returning, with more colourways giving some of the old favourites a fresh lease of life.
At the same time, Treeshirtz is moving forward. New artwork, new products and new ideas are joining the originals as the collection begins to grow again.
The technology, clothing and way everything is produced may have moved on since 2013, but the basic idea behind Treeshirtz hasn't.
It is still clothing and merchandise rooted in the culture and community that started it all.
Old favourites, new designs and a few surprises
Bringing back the original artwork matters because it is part of the Treeshirtz story. The aim isn't to replace that history with something completely different.
But we don't want to live entirely in the past either.
Alongside returning Treeshirtz favourites, there is a new generation of designs being created for today's arborists, tree workers and outdoor community.
Some will be unmistakably rooted in tree work. Others will take inspiration from forestry, trees, outdoor life and the slightly different sense of humour that tends to come with spending a lot of time around them.
There is plenty more to come, and we're deliberately not revealing everything at once.
Rooted in trees. Built for more.
Arboriculture will always sit at the heart of Treeshirtz. It is where the brand began, where many of its ideas come from and where its original community was built.
But the world around trees is much bigger than arboriculture alone.
As Treeshirtz grows, so will the subjects and ideas around it. Forestry, tree culture and outdoor life all have a natural place in what comes next.
That doesn't mean moving away from Treeshirtz's roots. It means giving those roots room to grow.
A thank you to Steve
None of this story exists without Steve Bullman.
From founding Arbtalk and building a community around the arborist industry to creating Treeshirtz and its original designs, Steve planted the roots of the brand that can now be carried forward.
Having Steve's blessing and the original artwork makes it possible to bring that history back properly rather than simply borrowing from it.
We're proud to bring those original designs back to life, preserve an important part of Treeshirtz's history and build something new alongside them.
Thanks, Steve.
The next chapter
Treeshirtz returns in 2026 with one foot firmly in its past and the other pointing towards what comes next.
There will be original favourites, more colourways, new designs, new products and plenty that hasn't been revealed yet.
There will also be more stories to tell - about Treeshirtz, its designs, its Arbtalk roots and the wider world of arboriculture, forestry, trees and outdoor life.
What started in the hands of a tree surgeon has grown into a brand shaped by arboriculture, community and life outdoors.
The roots remain. The next chapter is just beginning.
