The Swarfega Vintage Mechanic Mug is a durable workshop coffee mug that perfectly captures the nostalgic charm of classic garage culture. Featuring the iconic vintage oil tin design of the celebrated Swarfega Antiseptic Hand Cleanser, this mug is both a practical coffee companion and a distinctive nod to petrolhead memorabilia. Crafted to combine style and resilience, it adds a timeless retro garage feel to your daily coffee break.
Each mug is handmade and carefully hand-pressed in our family-run Sussex studio using premium coated blanks. This results in vibrant, fade-resistant sublimation prints that faithfully reproduce the distressed vintage artwork and bold typography with exceptional clarity. The mug is built to withstand everyday use without flaking or peeling, and it is backed by our 1-Year Print Guarantee.
Available in several styles to suit different preferences: 11oz and 15oz ceramic mugs with a classic glossy finish, 10oz and 15oz bone china coffee cups offering a lightweight and premium feel, and a smash-proof polymer mug that is ideal for workshops, vans, or outdoor use thanks to its durability and shatter-resistant design.
This mechanic gift idea is perfect for mechanics, garage technicians, classic car enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates vintage oil tin design memorabilia. It makes a thoughtful present for birthdays, Christmas, Father’s Day, or Secret Santa, and a unique addition to any workshop or man-cave décor.
