The math behind the noise
A mortar crew works on numbers that somebody else called in, at a target nobody on the gun line will ever see. Get the numbers right and the round lands where it was asked for. Get them wrong and everyone finds out at once.
The design is drawn for that: the tube, the crew, and the quiet arithmetic that turns a grid reference into an effect a kilometre away.
Steel on target from beyond the tree line
Indirect fire is the part of a fight that happens out of sight of both sides. The crew never sees the target and the target never sees the crew. What connects them is a radio, a set of numbers, and a lot of trust in the people at both ends of it.
The work is heavier than it looks. Baseplates, tubes and ammunition all have to be carried, dug in and laid before anything can be fired, usually at speed and usually in the dark. After that it is a matter of listening for the correction and doing it again.
The crew never sees the target, and the target never sees the crew.
This one gets worn by gun crews, by fire direction teams, and by the infantry who have called it in and know exactly how much it changed the situation.
Same fabric and cut under Light Infantry and Reconnaissance, so sizing carries over one to one.

What people ask about this one
Where is the print, on the front or the back?
The illustration sits large across the back, with only the small Trace logo on the chest at the front. The flag carries the same drawing, 90 by 150 centimetres.
Which colours and sizes does it come in?
The hoodie comes in black, charcoal, olive, heather grey, white. The t-shirt comes in black, dark shadow, olive, heather grey, sand. Sizes run from XS up to 3XL. The flag measures 90 by 150 centimetres.
Why do people who never served on a gun line wear this one?
Because everybody in the field has heard it arrive. The sound of rounds walking in is the part nobody forgets, whichever end of the radio you were on.
Heavy where it counts
The hoodie is a 270 gsm brushed fleece, closer to a proper winter layer than to a thin sweatshirt. The t-shirt is 200 gsm cotton with a print that does not shine through from the inside.
Thirty degrees, inside out, no tumble dryer.
