And if you’re rough and ready for love, honey I’m tougher than the rest – Tougher Than the Rest

Love doesn’t always come easy — and Bruce never pretended it did. This shirt features the handwritten lyric “And if you’re rough and ready for love, honey I’m tougher than the rest,” from Tunnel of Love (1987), one of Springsteen’s most honest and emotionally complex albums. It’s a lyric for the ones who’ve been through it and are still standing — for those who love with grit and loyalty.

Whether you’ve held hands through storms or ridden solo with your heart on your sleeve, this line hits hard. It’s quiet. It’s confident. And it’s true.

As the 2025 tour rolls through cities like Berlin, Lille, and Liverpool, this shirt becomes more than merch — it becomes a statement. The kind you wear while waiting for a surprise acoustic version. The kind you gift to someone who gets it. Or maybe the kind you put on when you’re the one who needs reminding that love doesn’t break you — it builds you.

Crafted from soft cotton and designed for a flattering unisex fit, this tee feels as solid as the lyric itself. Perfect for concerts, road trips, or moments when you’re choosing heart over armor.

Not flashy. Not fragile. Just tougher than the rest.
