Nine Line Apparel is a US clothing company.

History
The company is owned and operated by US military veterans and brothers Tyler and Daniel Merritt,  and was founded in 2012. Initially, they produced military and US themed shirts in order to pay for the treatment of a fellow wounded soldier. They then expanded their business to sell this kind of themed apparel commercially. The name of the company is derived from the emergency evacuation call that is used for wounded soldiers during the Iraq and Afghan Wars. The line of clothing created by the company is called “Wear Your Cause”.

Manufacturing
The company is located in Savannah, Georgia. Initially they operated out of a residential dwelling, which was raided by mistake by a SWAT team when they mistook the thousands of packages coming in and out of the house for drug shipments. They then moved their production to an industrial facility in the city. The company produces about 14,000 products and variants as a part of its clothing line. In 2016 the company was the fastest growing clothing company in the United States. That year the company began a move into a 100,000 square foot facility expansion. They sell their retail line through their website and social media ads.

Nine Line Foundation
The company also runs the Nine Line Foundation, which hosts fundraising initiatives for veterans organizations and causes, including 5K and 10K races.
