Verdict · checked Nov 8, 2026
Partly
Nine Line Apparel, a veteran-owned company, prints and finishes most of its products in Savannah, Georgia. Its FAQ says "Nine Line operates a real production facility at our headquarters in Savannah, Georgia. We have been doing our own production since 2012," and that "Most of our products are screen printed, embroidered, produced, packed, and shipped by our own team." Its product pages read "Designed and Printed In Savannah, GA."
| Product line | Made in | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Graphic T-shirts (e.g. American Flag, Sasquatch UFO) | Printed in Savannah, GA; made in the USA and imported | Mixed |
| Mesh back hat with Dropline logo | USA (printed in Savannah, GA) | Made in USA |
| Supply Drop partner products | Shipped from partners; origin not stated | Origin not stated |
The garments themselves are not always American-made. The same FAQ says "Some products may use responsibly sourced imported materials or may ship from trusted partners, such as Supply Drop items." On Amazon, the origin line for Nine Line's American Flag T-Shirt and Sasquatch UFO shirt reads "Made in the USA and Imported," meaning US printing on a shirt that includes imported content. The Dropline mesh back hat listing reads "Made in the USA."
How we checked: On 2026-11-08 we read Nine Line's FAQ page and current T-shirt and hat product pages on ninelineapparel.com, and the origin field on Nine Line's Amazon listings for the American Flag T-Shirt, Sasquatch UFO shirt and Dropline mesh back hat.

About Nine Line
Nine Line Apparel is a veteran-founded company in Savannah, Georgia, that screen prints and embroiders most of its patriotic shirts and hats in its own facility there.
Printed in Savannah since 2012
Nine Line's FAQ says it "operates a real production facility at our headquarters in Savannah, Georgia. We have been doing our own production since 2012." It adds that most of its products are "screen printed, embroidered, produced, packed, and shipped by our own team."
The name comes from the military nine-line medevac request. Co-founder Daniel Merritt is a veteran. In October 2017 the company opened a 60,000-square-foot operations building on Savannah's south side, with about 150 full-time staff at the time, WTOC reported.
Where the US claim stops
Nine Line's own wording is careful. Products are "made, printed, embroidered, packaged, or shipped" from Savannah, and "some products may use responsibly sourced imported materials." A printed shirt can be decorated in Georgia on a blank made elsewhere.
Supply Drop items are fulfilled by outside partners and ship separately. The three items we list, an American flag tee, a Sasquatch UFO shirt and a camo mesh-back hat, state US origin on their live listings. For anything else, read the listing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Nine Line made in the USA?
Partly. Nine Line makes its core lines in the United States, in Savannah, GA, and some of its products are made elsewhere. Veteran-founded apparel company operating its own production facility in Savannah, GA since 2012. Website FAQ explicitly confirms in-house screen printing/embroidery production there. Some imported materials and partner-fulfilled 'Supply Drop' items are disclosed as exceptions to in-house US production. claim-partial (moderate): Nine Line prints/embroiders in-house in Savannah, GA (product pages: 'We employ over 200 hard working Americans and print most of our T-Shirts right at our headquarters in Savannah, GA'). Blank garment origin is not stated for graphic tees and FAQ discloses imported materials and partner Supply Drop items. Amazon origin fields: flag tee and mesh hat 'Made in the USA'; Sasquatch tee 'Made in the USA and Imported'. Existing moderate exception is appropriate. https://www.ninelineapparel.com/pages/faqs "Made to Order: Products made at our Savannah, Georgia headquarters after your order is placed. Supply Drop: Partner products that ship separately and may have different lead times." claim-partial (moderate): Both tee listings (re-read 2026-11-09) carry 'Origin: Made in the USA and Imported' / 'Import Designation: Made in the USA and Imported'. The flag tee also states 'Designed, printed, and packaged in Savannah, GA' (and-Imported + US-city statement = PASS class), so kept. The Sasquatch tee's listing mentions Savannah only as company copy ('Savannah, GA where over 200 hard-working Americans show up every day') - borderline; check. A flag-tee reviewer says 'Made in Indonesia' (reviewer, not proof) - consistent with imported blanks printed in Savannah. Mesh hat origin field 'the USA' - keep. https://www.ninelineapparel.com/pages/faqs "Nine Line operates a real production facility at our headquarters in Savannah, Georgia. We have been doing our own production since 2012. ... Some products may use responsibly sourced imported materials or may ship from trusted partners, such as Supply Drop items."
