Steel in the Wire is a wearable memory: an all-over print tee that carries the quiet gravity of Lang Vei Special Forces Camp, Vietnam, 1968. The fabric’s full coverage print wraps history around the shoulders and chest, turning a simple garment into a conversation piece. It sits with understated weight—breathable, resilient polyester that keeps its shape and color through frequent wear. The ribbed collar and shoulder tape give it a tailored hold; side seams and a regular fit keep the silhouette clean. This tee reads like a field report: weathered textures, muted tones, and a design that invites reflection. Slip it on when you want a piece that feels like a carried story—for commemorations, history meetups, or evenings when you want clothing that speaks as quietly as a veteran’s recollection.
