Tactical Gent is a veteran-run shop out of South Carolina selling morale patches, apparel, and mugs with a nostalgic, old-school edge. Between product drops, the site runs a daily hand-drawn doodle series and the occasional cocktail recipe, proof that this one's built by an actual person, not a brand team.

O.T.H.E.R is a veteran-run activewear shop started by Melvin Franklin and a group of retired military vets with over 50 years of combined service. The name stands for "One That Has Exceptional Rules," and the lineup covers Navy-inspired tees, hoodies, headwear, mugs, and activewear. A cut of every sale goes back to veterans and military families in need.

The Local Print Shoppe is the small custom shop behind our Mortem Labs Merch, running a build-your-own patch bar where you pick the hat, bag, koozie, patches, or pins and watch it get assembled on the spot. They also turn out custom tumblers, decals, and personalized pieces on a rotating basis. A real shop making one-off gear by hand.
