About this design
A military grade knees and lower back shirt and mug with a bordered chevron panel, a wry tribute to the parts that took the wear.
MILITARY GRADE sits above KNEES & LOWER BACK, with a gold rule and HANDLE WITH CARE below. A thin border and rows of chevron blocks frame the text like a shipping label or a crate marking, which fits the joke: the body has been handled roughly and the damage is now part of the inventory. The wording stays dry, with no cartoon or exaggeration.
It is for veterans whose knees announce the weather and whose back has opinions about long car rides, and for the family members who have heard about it. The design works on a shirt, a hoodie, or a mug for a birthday, a retirement, or a reunion where the stories get a little taller each year.
The design is printed to order on garment-dyed heavyweight tees, pullover hoodies, ceramic mugs, and vinyl stickers.
