Drop 1 / first-gen product

Power Needs A Witness Tee
POWER NEEDS A WITNESS. Drop 1 first-gen concept; not yet Shopify-created.
A direct public-facing first-gen tee. Less lore, more punch. It explains the brand without needing the customer to know the oath yet.
Art direction: Large distressed POWER NEEDS A WITNESS. on back, small CUSTOS shield on front.
Why this belongs in Drop 1
It keeps CUSTOS in the original question lane: who watches power, who verifies the watchers, and what guardrails exist before we claim the answer.
QA gates
- “WITNESS” red accent prints cleanly
- Phrase lands without extra explanation
- Can become strongest ad creative if sample looks good
- Avoids overloading product with too many slogans
Store status
This concept is public on the website now. It is not customer-buyable until Shopify storefront/password/payment work is complete and a real product listing/sample proof exists.
