Photos from the units we've produced gear for — straight from the posts and tags on our Instagram @mabuhaydesignsandco.

Semper Fi shoutouts to every unit that's trusted us. Veteran-owned, family-operated. Ready for your next order when you are.

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.

Recon Battalion · Brotherhood

Celer, Silens, Mortalis.

The Recon creed does not end at the graduation ceremony, and neither does the gear. Former 2nd Recon Marines still order alumni shirts, reunion tees, and memorial apparel years after they EAS. The shop holds files from every previous run — so when a team comes back ten years later for a reunion batch, we do not start from a blank page.

We sponsor small runs for Recon-related family events. If it is a gold-star family memorial, a Devil Dog 5K, or a team anniversary reunion — ask us first. The answer is usually yes, and the discount is usually real.

  • 01.Archive access for alumni reorders — five-year file retention.
  • 02.Memorial runs get donated blanks. Ask.
  • 03.Active-duty and alumni pricing is the same. No "veteran tax."
