National Reserves Hoodie and T-Shirt
Same oath, better weekends
Active duty collects the deployment stories. The reserve collects the free weekends, and knows exactly how that sounds.

Part time serving, full time joking
A reservist has a job, a family and a weekend that could have been spent doing anything at all, and spends it in a uniform instead. Then gets to hear from full timers that it is not the same thing.
The design leans into that joke on purpose, because the people it is for are already telling it themselves.
The same oath, taken on a Saturday
Reservists sign the same paper as everyone else. What is different is that they do it around a civilian life: an employer who has to be told, a family that gives up the weekend, and training that has to fit into the time left over. Nobody does that by accident.
It also means the reserve brings skills the regular force does not have. Nurses, engineers, drivers, IT people, all with a day job that made them good at something the army cannot train from scratch in six weeks.
Nobody gives up their weekends by accident.
And yes, the weekends are better. Everyone in the reserve says so first, before anyone else can, which is exactly why this design works.
Same fabric and cut under Light Infantry and Set the Standard, 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 design, 90 by 150 centimetres.
Which colours and sizes does it come in?
The hoodie comes in black, charcoal, military green, sports grey, sand, white. The t-shirt comes in black, dark shadow, olive, heather grey, sand, white. Sizes run from XS up to 3XL. The flag measures 90 by 150 centimetres.
Is this making fun of reservists?
It is a joke reservists tell about themselves, which is a different thing. The design says same oath first and better weekends second, and it means both.
Heavy where it counts
The hoodie is a 270 gsm brushed fleece and the t-shirt is 200 gsm cotton, both cut for real wear rather than for one season.
Thirty degrees, inside out, no tumble dryer.
