The design

Three words that do a lot of work

It started as an order and it has become something people say to themselves. Hold the line means the position does not move, and it means you do not either, whatever the reason to leave happens to be that day.

The design keeps it plain on purpose. Three words, no illustration competing with them.

Why it reads the way it does

It stopped being only a military phrase

On the ground it is literal. A line that holds keeps everything behind it intact, and a line that breaks takes a lot more with it than the ground it was standing on. Every soldier understands the arithmetic of that immediately.

Off the ground it kept the same meaning without needing to be explained. People wear this through recovery, through a bad year, through the stretch where quitting would be entirely reasonable. It is not a slogan for those situations, it is a reminder that they end.

A line that breaks takes more with it than the ground it was standing on.

It gets worn by veterans, by people who never served, and by people going through something they do not talk about. All three are the right answer.

Same fabric and cut under Set the Standard and Bring Them Home, so sizing carries over one to one.

What people ask about this one

Where is the print, on the front or the back?

The print sits across the back, with only the small Trace logo on the chest at the front. The flag carries the same words, 90 by 150 centimetres.

Which colours and sizes does it come in?

The hoodie comes in black, white. The t-shirt comes in black, white, black, white. Sizes run from XS up to 3XL. The flag measures 90 by 150 centimetres.

Do I need a military background to wear this?

No. It started as an order and it has outgrown that. Plenty of people wear it for something that has nothing to do with a uniform.

Made to do the work

Regular, oversized, or on the wall

The hoodie is a 270 gsm brushed fleece and the tee is 200 gsm cotton. There is also an oversized version, cut wider and longer, so take your normal size unless you want it very loose.

Thirty degrees, inside out, no tumble dryer.
