Men's Brown Rifle Chai Company shirt

Men's Brown Rifle Chai Company shirt

$24.99

"It's really more of a lifestyle brand than a beverage company," says Mohammed Rasheed, a former squad leader with two combat deployments to Kunduz Province. Mohammed received one of the first business permits of the new regime in Afghanistan and started the Brown Rifle Chai Company.

Show your support for this Afghan veteran with a rifle, a cup of chai, and a dream by buying this soft and lightweight t-shirt with the right amount of stretch. It's comfortable and has a big AK-47 on the front that will scare women and children.

Here's your intel on a shirt that's got more stories than your longest deployment:

Fabric Composition: Crafted with 100% combed and ring-spun cotton for a feel softer than the CO's newborn. Heather colors are blended with polyester, like a perfect East-meets-West chai latte.

Color Report: Ash color comes in 99% cotton and 1% polyester because even your shirt needs a dash of something strong. Heather variants mix cotton and polyester like a good strategy that mixes bravery and brains.

Weight Class: At 4.2 oz (142 g/m2), this fabric is light enough to maneuver through a hot day but tough enough to endure your most rigorous activities—like marathon video game sessions or debating strategy in Washington.

Pre-Shrunk Strategy: Pre-shrunk to fit you like a glove from the get-go. No surprises after the first wash—this tee is more reliable than your supply guy.

Construction Tactics: Side-seamed for structural integrity that would make an engineer weep with joy.

Shoulder Formation: Shoulder-to-shoulder taping for a fit as squared away as a parade ground lineup.

By donning this tee, you're not just wearing a shirt; you're carrying the story of a fighter turned founder, who's now deploying the best chai this side of Kabul. This isn't your standard-issue tee. It's a salute to a vet who swapped his rifle for a teapot and his combat boots for business shoes.

So, support a vet who's still serving—this time, it's with a perfect cup of chai. Get your gear, support the dream, and join the Brown Rifle Chai Company battalion today!
