First Responder

Shirts for the people who run toward it, and the families who wait up. Fire, police and EMS, built to the same standard as everything we print: no halfway.

The Somebody Has To series
Four designs, one idea. When everyone else gets clear, somebody has to stay.
Somebody Has To Go In for firefighters. First in, last out.
Somebody Has To Hold The Line for police. When it goes wrong, they go.
Somebody Has To Bring Them Back for paramedics and EMTs. Every second counts.
Somebody Has To Answer for all of them, fire, police and EMS side by side. When you call, they come.

The collection also carries the Thin Red Line Tee. The red line has become the mark of the fire service, and the phrase traces back to the 93rd Highlanders at the Battle of Balaclava in 1854, a thin line of red coats that held against a cavalry charge. For more service designs, see the veteran and military tees in Patriotic.

Tees are a unisex fit in ring-spun cotton or a soft cotton-poly blend (each product lists which), and the graphic is printed directly onto the garment, so it holds up wash after wash. Every piece is printed to order in the U.S. after you buy it. Most orders arrive in 3-8 business days, shipping is free on orders of $50 or more, and a flat $4.75 under that.

Is this a good gift for a first responder?
That is who it’s built for. Active, retired and volunteer firefighters, officers, medics, dispatchers and their families.

Which colors does the Somebody Has To series come in?
Black, Charcoal, Midnight Navy, Military Green and Dark Heather Gray, sizes XS to 3XL.

How long does shipping take?
Each piece is printed after you order. Most orders arrive in 3-8 business days with tracking. Free shipping on $50+, otherwise $4.75 flat.
