When the only thing holding it together is your duty belt (barely), this one’s for you.
The Gear Up, Breakdown Later t-shirt by The Salty Sgt brings a sarcastic twist to the everyday uniform. Featuring clean line art of a duty belt with tongue-in-cheek labels like “Snack Holster,” “Mood Stabilizer,” and “Ticket Printer,” this design highlights the absurd humor of life behind the badge.
Finished with the motto every officer lives by—“Gear Up, Breakdown Later”—in bold stencil typography, this shirt hits that perfect balance between tactical and tragically relatable. With a muted navy and gray color scheme, it stays stylish while still delivering the punchline.
Whether you're surviving the night shift or just want your sarcasm on full display, this tee is your new off-duty uniform.
