FAQs
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. Because each item is made specifically for you, we maintain a limited return and exchange policy as described below.
We encourage all customers to carefully review sizing information before placing an order. Our size guides are available on every product page to help ensure the best fit.
WHAT WE ACCEPT
We accept returns and exchanges ONLY for items that arrive:
- Defective (manufacturing flaw, print error, or product damage)

All other return requests, including but not limited to the following, will not be accepted:

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
