Designed in Jacksonville.
Built for Marines.

We started as a family shop five miles from the Lejeune main gate. A dozen years later we're still here — same bench, same press, same people. Every unit shirt, every homecoming run, every class-of-XYZ tee leaves our door on a first-name basis.

We're not the shop that ships from across the country. We're the shop you can drop in on before formation.

  • i. Printed in-house. No outsourcing, no middlemen.
  • ii. Military family runs the place. We know the rhythm.
  • iii. Local pickup. Or we ship direct to your POC.

II MEF · Expeditionary Gear

When the force moves, the gear should already fit.

II Marine Expeditionary Force covers roughly 45,000 Marines and Sailors spread across Lejeune, Cherry Point, and New River — with a deployable footprint that includes the 22nd, 24th, and 26th MEUs. Running a shirt order for a command under II MEF means accepting the timeline will shift. Deployments slide. Rosters change. Sizes get revised three times before the first print.

We have built the workflow for that: quote first, lock roster later, print in batches if the deployment window tightens. If a company needs 120 shirts printed yesterday because the manifest changed, we have done it. We will do it again.

  • 01.Short-fuse orders under 72 hours — call ahead, we will confirm the window.
  • 02.Deployment-approved color palettes (no bright whites that get flagged).
  • 03.Split orders: half at pickup, half shipped to an FPO address.
