Ten Ton Trading Co.

Ten Ton Trading Co. is the official online merchandise store of Machine Head — 100% owned and operated by the band.

From the very beginning, Machine Head has been built on a DIY ethic. In the early days, we made our own t-shirts with the help of friends at TNT Screen Printing in Emeryville, California — including the original “Fuck It All” shirts sold at shows at venues like The Stone, The Omni, and Berkeley Square. We designed, paid for, and distributed our own demos, cassette inserts, flyers, stickers, and merchandise — doing whatever it took to get the band’s name out.

Like many bands, we later partnered with outside merchandise companies. But in 2017, we returned to the same independent mindset that started it all — taking full control of our merchandise once again and launching Ten Ton Trading Co. to shape our own path forward.

Today, Ten Ton Trading Co. offers super-premium, streetwear-inspired merchandise, alongside carefully reproduced, long-out-of-print throwback designs. Every piece is produced with obsessive attention to detail, using rich, high-quality, multi-color prints that honor the original artwork as it was meant to be seen.

Every purchase goes directly to Machine Head — no middlemen. Your support helps sustain the music, the road, and the culture we’ve built together over decades, and for that, we are genuinely grateful.

Thank you for being part of this.
