Fabric & Care

Thickness

Lightweight Heavyweight

Softness
Rough Super Soft

Breathability
Waterproof Breathable


For best care, machine wash gently in cold water, using a mild detergent, and avoid using bleach or fabric softeners.

Line dry out of direct sunlight, refrain from tumble drying to prevent shrinkage or fabric deterioration. If necessary, use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric to avoid damaging any prints or embellishments.

Avoid contact with rough surfaces or abrasive materials, as this may cause pilling or snags in the fabric. For long-term care, store the garment in a dry place and avoid prolonged exposure to direct heat or moisture.

Sustainability 🍃

Environmentally Responsible
Selected colours are made from sustainably grown Australian-grown cotton yarns, renowned for their exceptional quality and sustainability worldwide. Australian cotton is the most water-efficient cotton industry globally and has achieved an 85% reduction in the use of herbicides and pesticides.

Sustainable Production
Life Apparel is committed to sustainability by partnering with vetted local and international manufacturers. We print these hoodies on demand, ensuring both exclusivity and preventing overproduction, which helps to reduce waste and minimise our environmental footprint.

Eco-Friendly Packaging
Our commitment to sustainability extends to our packaging, which is entirely plastic-free. We use kerbside-recyclable or home-compostable mailers to reduce landfill waste. All deliveries are managed by Australia Post, which actively supports carbon-offset projects aimed at reducing emissions and promoting a greener future.

About The Design

This design presents a clean and understated tribute to remembrance in Australia, centred around the powerful phrase “Lest We Forget.” Rendered in metallic gold print, the lettering subtly reflects light, symbolising both remembrance and enduring respect for those who served.

The phrase “Lest We Forget” is closely associated with remembrance ceremonies held across Australia, particularly on Anzac Day (25 April) and Armistice Day, when communities gather to honour those who served and those who lost their lives in military conflicts and peacekeeping operations.

On the back of the shirt, placed below the neckline, appears the Australian national flag. The simplicity of the design reflects the respectful tone of remembrance traditions in Australia. It is a tribute not only to those who served, but also to the generations who continue to gather in quiet reflection, ensuring that their service and sacrifice are never forgotten.

We Will Remember Them

Tribute Collective is a proud Australian family-owned boutique brand that exists to honour Australian and New Zealand Army personnel who have served and sacrificed in wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations from the Boer War and beyond.
