At ten feet it’s a good shirt.
At three feet there’s a detail. Only someone who has done the work knows what it says.

What we will not print
Nothing official
No seals, no badges
No agency seals, no credentials, no classification markings. That genre exists and it is a poor look on anyone who has actually held a clearance.
Nothing loud
Small details only
Placement and size vary by design, but restraint is the rule — nothing shouting for attention. The absence of branding everywhere else is what signals the quality.
Nothing performative
