THE STORE OF THE ORDER
The first run is being made ready
Nothing is for sale yet. The Order is not in a hurry — it would rather get the stitching right than get it out early.
BY ORDER OF THE COMMITTEE ON MERCHANDISE
Coming Soon
The Committee has reviewed the samples. The Committee has opinions. Two of the shirts were sent back over the weight of the fabric and one over a comma. This is exactly the level of care you would expect from a body that measures twice.
When the first run is right, it will open here. Until then, the crest is available the way it has always been available: by joining.

ON THE COMMITTEE'S BENCH
What is being made ready
Four categories are before the Committee. Two are close. Two are being argued about, which in this Order is a sign of health.
The Shirts
Heavyweight, honestly cut, and printed with sayings the Order stands behind completely. Sized for men who have shoulders from carrying things nobody asked them to carry.
Caps & Patches
The crest, embroidered. Meant to be worn until it fades, then worn some more, then argued about when somebody suggests replacing it.
The Enamel Mug
For coffee taken standing up in the garage at 6:40 on a Saturday morning, while surveying the job and deciding, silently, where to begin.
Additional Stickers
Beyond the one in your welcome packet. Because a man with one sticker has a toolbox, and a man with four has a toolbox, a truck, a cooler, and a table saw.
A NOTE ON TIMING
The Order measures twice.
We could have had shirts out months ago. They would have been thin, the collars would have gone at the first wash, and every man who bought one would have quietly stopped wearing it by spring. That is not how this Order does anything.
Members are the first to know when the store opens — it is one of the smaller privileges of standing, and it costs nothing to hold.
