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.

About The Design

This design centres around the enduring message “Australia Remembers,” brought to life through a powerful and reflective visual composition. Set against a deep blue sky, the artwork captures a quiet moment of remembrance, where a lone soldier bows his head in tribute of a memorial and the weight of history it represents.

Across the front, the silhouette of a soldier rests within a landscape of vivid red poppies and bare branches, evoking both loss and resilience. Birds in flight move across the design, symbolising freedom, peace, and the enduring spirit that follows conflict.

On the back, the narrative continues with a larger commemorative scene. A soldier stands in reflection beside a memorial amnd the Australian an NZ flag silhouettes, framed by the bold presence of a red poppy and the words “Australia Remembers.” The red poppy, long recognised across Australia and Commonwealth nations, traces its origins to the battlefields of the Western Front during World War I, where it grew among the fallen. Over time, it has come to symbolise both remembrance and renewal—life continuing after conflict. Here, it acts as a central visual anchor, reinforcing the message of sacrifice and ensuring those who served are not forgotten.

On the sleeve, the 3rd pattern Rising Sun badge (officially licensed by Tribute Collective) adds a strong connection to Australian military heritage. As one of the most recognisable emblems of the Australian Army, it represents service, unity, and the shared identity of those who have worn it. Historically issued to soldiers of the Australian Imperial Force, the badge has become an enduring symbol of the ANZAC spirit and the camaraderie of Australian troops.

Altogether, the design is calm, respectful, and considered—focusing on remembrance over conflict, and honouring those who served, those who were lost, and the legacy that continues to be carried forward.
