My Southern Tactical's Content Standards offer guidance to customers in designing custom products. These standards utilize a sliding scale ranging from "no" to "go" to accommodate various design possibilities, enabling us to collaborate with customers in creating designs that align with these guidelines. It's important to note that the descriptions provided for each category are not exhaustive, and the final decision regarding the approval of a design will always be at the discretion of My Southern Tactical's Content Standards team. We regularly review and update these policies as necessary.
