Materials & testing

Torture-tested before we sold shirt one.

We didn’t open for business and figure it out on your gear. Before the first order ever went out, we ran our own testing program — inks, powders, films, and blanks against each other, then deliberately abusing the prints to find what fails. What you buy today is the combination that wouldn’t crack, peel, or fade.

  1. Component trials

    Before we sold shirt one, we tested every ink, every DTF powder, every film, and every blank we could get on the press — down to running viscosity tests on the inks. If a component didn’t perform, it never reached production.

  2. Torture tests

    Then we broke the rules on purpose — everything the DTF care instructions tell you never to do to a print, we did to ours. Cracking, peeling, fading: we hunted for every failure. Only the combinations that survived became our standard.

  3. The 8-step press

    Most shops press once and ship. Every garment here runs an eight-step pressing process tuned to its fabric — the reason our prints come out more durable and softer at the same time.

Passed testing — current lineup

  • 50/50 blend tees The workhorse — soft hand, holds a DTF print flat, survives the laundry rotation.
  • 100% poly performance PT and moisture duty. Pressed on a low-temp recipe so the fabric never glosses or scorches.
  • Heavyweight cotton For the classic feel — pressed hot so the ink bonds deep into the weave.
  • Fleece — crews & hoodies Cold-weather unit orders. Tested on the thick seams where cheap prints crack first.

If it cracks, peels, or fades in our testing, it never touches your gear. Ask what fits your unit →

Who we've outfitted

Units that trust Mabuhay with their gear.

Every unit shirt starts with a roster. Here's a snapshot of units, training schools, and courses we've already produced gear for — Marine infantry battalions, Navy Corpsman classes, logistics companies, MOS schoolhouses. Any branch, any course, any roster size.

Veteran-owned, family-operated. Five miles from the Camp Lejeune main gate. No minimums · Fast turnaround · 24/7 pickup.

Designed in Jacksonville.
Built for Marines.

We started as a family shop five miles from the Lejeune main gate. A dozen years later we're still here — same bench, same press, same people. Every unit shirt, every homecoming run, every class-of-XYZ tee leaves our door on a first-name basis.

We're not the shop that ships from across the country. We're the shop you can drop in on before formation.

  • i. Printed in-house. No outsourcing, no middlemen.
  • ii. Military family runs the place. We know the rhythm.
  • iii. Local pickup. Or we ship direct to your POC.
● SHOP MARK · EST. 2024
The mark

The real thing.

That sunrise-and-surf mark is our family's, not a franchise's. A veteran-owned shop where the person who takes your order is the person at the press. When you see it on a shirt, it was designed, printed, and pressed by us in Jacksonville — nothing brokered out.

Second Marine Division · Jacksonville

The division that built Lejeune.

If Lejeune has a center of gravity, it is 2nd Marine Division. Every barrack, every range, every chow hall has been walked through by someone with the red diamond on their shoulder. Which means every 2D MARDIV shirt we have ever printed has a slightly different story attached: a boot drop, a retirement, a homecoming, a promotion, a memorial.

We do not pretend every shirt is equally important. Some are company PT rotations nobody will remember after the season ends. Some are the last shirt a Gunny got before they EAS'd and their platoon chipped in to buy. We treat them the same at the press.

  • 01.Memorial / retirement runs handled with proofing priority.
  • 02.All 2D MARDIV battalion colors on file — just reference the unit.
  • 03.Shipping available, but pickup is faster. Always.
