Safety at Sea Crew Apparel

Safety at Sea is not a slogan at 7SHORT1LONG. It is the culture you carry on every watch, every drill, every crossing.

We built this collection for the seafarers who know the muster station by heart. Who have stood in full immersion suit at 0300 in North Atlantic weather. Who have run man overboard drills until the procedure is muscle memory. Who have checked the EPIRB battery dates and signed off the fire station checklist — not because the SMS required it, but because they know what is at stake when the alarm goes off for real.

Fire drill hoodies. Man overboard T-shirts. Lifeboat crew tees. Free fall rescue boat apparel. SOLAS safety culture worn as crew identity — not maritime decoration for people who have never left the dock.

At 7SHORT1LONG, we are former seafarers. We know what Safety of Life at Sea actually means. Not the STCW certificate on the wall — the real thing. The emergency muster at 0200. The abandon ship order you train for every month and hope you never hear for real. Every design in this collection belongs to the crew who lived it.

YES, WE ARE CREW.

All Safety at Sea apparel is printed on demand — OEKO-TEX certified materials, worldwide delivery to any port. From crew, for crew.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is SOLAS and why is it important?

SOLAS stands for Safety of Life at Sea — the international maritime convention setting minimum safety standards for commercial vessels worldwide. For every seafarer on a SOLAS ship, safety is not optional. It is the framework your entire working life is built around. Our designs reflect that reality from the inside.

What does EPIRB stand for?

EPIRB stands for Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon — the distress device that transmits your vessel's location automatically in an emergency. If you have ever registered one, tested one, or been trained to activate one in a real distress scenario, this collection was made for you.

What is a fire drill at sea?

A mandatory SOLAS monthly exercise where the entire crew musters at designated fire stations and practices emergency response. Every crew member has an assigned role — fire squad, emergency team, medical team, bridge team. If you have stood at your fire station at 0700 on a Sunday morning in port, you earned the hoodie.

What is a man overboard drill?

A safety drill where the crew practices emergency response to a person falling into the sea — immediate helm action, fast rescue boat launch, and a coordinated recovery operation. Real seafarers run this drill regularly. The muscle memory stays long after the contract ends.

Is Safety at Sea apparel suitable as a gift for seafarers?

Yes. Every design in this collection references real safety culture that anyone who has served at sea recognizes immediately — muster stations, EPIRB codes, lifeboat procedures, fire drill protocol. Meaningful, authentic, and built for crew. Not for tourists who like anchors.

Do you ship worldwide?

Yes. We ship to all major ports, maritime hubs, and crew home countries worldwide. All apparel is produced on demand via Printful's global fulfillment network. Most orders arrive within 7 to 14 business days depending on your destination.
