What's our return policy?

At Tactical Pause Apparel, we are proud to serve veterans, first responders, and those who stand in the gap. Our products are produced on demand through our fulfillment partner, Printful.

Return Policy

What is our shipping policy?

Every item is made to order to cut waste and keep prices fair. Orders are printed in 2–7 business days and delivered 3–7 business days after that (US), usually about 1–2 weeks total. You'll get a tracking number by email as soon as it ships. Shipping is always free.

What's it made of and how do I take care of it?

Premium Next Level 6210 blank — a soft, tailored fit built to actually hold up, not just look good on day one. A soft 60/40 blend of combed ring-spun cotton and polyester with a fitted cut that's true to size, not boxy.

Every design is direct-to-garment printed — no cracking, no fading, no peeling after a few washes like cheap heat-transfer gear.

Care Instructions:

  • Machine wash cold, inside out
  • Tumble dry low, or hang dry to maximize print life
  • Do not iron directly on the print
  • Do not dry clean

Mission-Ready Comfort

OUTLASTS
THE SHIFT.

You've worn gear that quit before you did. This isn't that. Lightweight cotton-poly blend that stays soft from the first wear to the hundredth, with a tailored fit that doesn't box you in or ride up. Built for the gym, the firehouse, the drive home, and the 0300 call. Printed and shipped in the USA. If there's ever an issue, we've got your six.

Wash inside out, cold. Tumble dry low. Don't iron the print.
