Raise your glass and your style this International Beer Day. You have to admit there’s something satisfying about cracking open a cold beer after a long day. On International Beer Day, we’re here to toast to the classics, savor the craft, and celebrate the little joys in life. Like a perfectly poured pint and perfectly fitted apparel.
At FCT, we believe your clothes should be like your favorite beer: dependable, well-crafted, and just the right match for the moment. So whether you’re going to a backyard BBQ, a brewery tour, or just hanging out with friends, we have the perfect pairings. Check out how FCT apparel styles match the flavor, feel, and vibe of your favorite beers.
Tees = Pilsner
Crisp. Classic. Always in rotation.
A good Pilsner is light and clean, something you can reach for any day of the week. The same goes for our Stratusoft™ tees. Tees made with breathable cotton/poly blends, tailored fits, and just the right amount of stretch, our t-shirts are a no-brainer. They're your go-to for everything from backyard BBQs to game day with the guys.
Perfect Pairing Moment:
You, a crisp white tee, a cold Pilsner, and your neighbor mid-rant about lawn fertilizer. Just nod, sip, and know you’re the best-dressed guy on the block.
Hoodies = Hefeweizen
Soft, smooth, and built to comfort.
A Hefeweizen has a warmth to it, not too heavy, not too strong, but just enough body to remind you to take it easy. That’s exactly what our men's hoodies bring to the table. They've got a relaxed fit, buttery-soft fabric, and enough style to wear out in public.
This is your post-bike ride, pre-bonfire, Saturday morning at the farmers market layer. It doesn’t scream for attention, but people notice. Just like that citrusy, cloudy wheat beer that surprises you with how good it is and how often you come back to it.
Perfect Pairing Moment:
A cool summer night, hoodie on, glass of Hefe in hand, dog curled up at your feet, and zero plans to change out of either.
Jackets = Dark Stout
Bold. Structured. Ready for anything.
If your beer taste leans toward the rich and complex, you’re probably the kind of guy who appreciates gear that shows up and does the job. Oxc ur puffer jacket is your stout-inspired wingman. Strong outer shell, warm inner layer, and a look that says, “I could chop wood or close a deal. Your call.”
Dark stouts aren’t for everyone, but neither is wearing a jacket this good. It’s a statement without trying too hard. The jacket's modern design and weather-resistant features make it the go-to layer for crisp mornings, brewery patios, and fall football games.
Perfect Pairing Moment:
That crisp morning dog walk that turns into coffee with a neighbor, then an unexpected brewery stop. Your jacket handles the temperature swings better than your weekend plans do.
Long Sleeve T-Shirts = Lager
Uncomplicated. Reliable. Comfort first.
A well-made lager doesn't need gimmicks and neither do you. Our Stratusoft long sleeve tees are the clothing equivalent of that perfectly crisp lager you reach for without thinking. They're soft without being shapeless, relaxed without looking like you rolled out of bed, and versatile enough for morning coffee runs and late-night bonfires.
Think of them as elevated basics, if you're into labels. But let's be real, they're just damn comfortable tees, and sometimes that's all a man really needs.
Perfect Pairing Moment:
Out on the water. Sleeves pushed up, sun warming your face, cool breeze keeping you comfortable. Cold lager in hand as you watch the shoreline drift by. Your long sleeve tee? Moving with you, keeping you covered without weighing you down. This is simple done right.
Button-Ups = IPA
Bold taste. Sharp style.
IPAs are divisive. Some guys love the punch, others find them a little much. But if you’re the guy who likes a little edge and who enjoys big flavor and being noticed, then our short sleeve button ups are for you. Crisp collar, flattering fit, and stretch that moves with you, not against you.
You throw this on when you want to elevate your beer night without overdoing it. It says, “Yeah, I care. But I’m also cool about it.” Just like ordering a double dry-hopped IPA and actually knowing what that means.
Perfect Pairing Moment:
You walk into the brewery with this button up on, your friend in a faded band tee. The bartender pours you the freshest IPA. Want to guess who gets the nod of approval?
Performance Polos = Pale Ale
Laid-back, but intentional.
Like a perfectly crafted Pale Ale that bridges the gap between bold IPA and smooth lager, our performance polos deliver that sweet spot of versatility. These polo shirts adapt to your day, whether you're powering through meetings, running errands, or settling into weekend mode, all while keeping you dry and comfortable when temperatures soar past 90°F.
Built with advanced moisture-wicking technology, clean lines, and a tailored fit that moves with you (never against you), these polos prove that performance and style aren't mutually exclusive. Just like that first sip of a well-balanced pale ale.
Perfect Pairing Moment:
The grill is hot, your favorite pale ale is cold, and the sun's shining down. You're flipping burgers with one hand, raising your beer with the other, music playing in the background. Your polo? Still looking fresh, still keeping you cool. This is winning.
A Toast to Style That Works as Hard as You Do
Here’s the thing about International Beer Day, it’s not just about what’s in the glass. It’s about the people you raise that glass with. It’s about slowing down, telling stories, laughing too loud, and maybe even solving the world’s problems one pint at a time.
Like a great beer, your clothes should make the moment better. FCT apparel is made for real life. Shop slothes that are easy, modern, and built to roll with whatever the day throws at you (yes, even beer foam).
So this August, whether you’re cracking open a crisp lager or sipping on a bold stout, do it in comfort. Do it in style. And maybe, just maybe, do it in FCT.
Happy International Beer Day. Cheers, everyone! 🍻
