Our Story
Built by Patriots to honor legends. Made for the ones still carrying the weight.
Recently COVID and cancer ripped through the Savage Operators family. What’s left is us, the few remaining relatives of USMC, Navy, and Coast Guard veterans / HERO's — men who fought in Vietnam and WWII, and in life. Men who dedicated their lives to Law Enforcement to become the Top Cops and Homocide Detectives in Miami during the 80s and 90s, many of their cases and stories used for the tv show Miami Vice. Savage Operators is a tribute to them.
Our designs pull from that lineage—what those legends would’ve called “funny” or “cool.” They’re ’80s, 90's, retro inspired with a hat tip to the pin-up era, silly or dark humor or dead-serious, but they're always patriotic and Savage.
What “Savage Operators” means: some people carry heavy weight and still move right—quiet good deeds, pain the world never sees. And some.. some are just born a Savage Operator. If that’s you, then you’re a Savage Operator. That’s the foundation of the Sav-Ops family.
We’re a small brand—not trying to flex on the big dogs. We respect and love the patriotic apparel brands that came before us. If you’re one of them and you stumble on our little-big brand, reach out—you’ve probably inspired us brother.
Our tees sit at a premium for real reasons: we don’t mass-produce, we print to order, and we use premium blends for strength, feel, and longevity. SavOps margins help support the remaining family of the heroes we lost.
If our humor ever misses or offends, that’s not the aim. The work comes from artists who’ve taken life’s hits and use humor to cope. Never meant to be taken too seriously.
