In tradecraft, pocket litter is the small stuff in someone's pockets that tells you who they are. Receipts, ticket stubs, the stuff nobody thinks about. Ours does the same job, just louder.
Your badge is the one thing you carry every single day, and right now it probably says nothing about you except your name and your photo. Here is how to fix that without making your security office nervous.
Start With a Badge Reel Cover
Shop My Therapist Doesn't Have a Clearance
Badge reel covers are the easiest upgrade. Ours are 2" UV-printed acrylic with a Velcro back, and every one ships with a Velcro dot so it fits the reel you already own.
The cover goes on the reel, not the badge. Your photo and badge info stay clean and readable. Rules on what can go on a reel vary by building, so your local security office always has the final word.
The four designs in the lineup right now:
- My Therapist Doesn't Have a Clearance, the most relatable sentence in the IC
- Sources and Methods, the magic phrase that ends every conversation
- Government Saddie, Flork in a yellow warning sign, mid-spiral
- Autism Rx, the unofficial pill bottle of the analytic workforce
Add a Pin to the Lanyard
Every reel cover design also comes as a 1.5" acrylic pin. Match them for a full set, or mix them so your lanyard tells two jokes at once.
Two more designs come as pins and stickers, no reel cover yet. NSTR is every analyst's favorite line in Y2K holographic star form. Never significant, always reported. Contractor Baddie is Flork in shades fanning cash, for the cleared 1099 billing 1.8x and unbothered about it. Wear it next to a Government Saddie pin for a full interagency relationship on one lanyard.
Upgrade the Lanyard Itself
If the lanyard is the plate carrier of the SCIF, the Slay Girl Slay breakaway lanyard is the one with all the patches. Full-color, double-sided print, a breakaway safety clasp, and a stainless steel bottle opener on the end for after work.
Slay Girl Slay is our runaway hit, and the customers buying it are not who you might guess. The guys wear it, the girls wear it, everyone with a sense of humor wears it.
Something for the Wallet
Shop Slay Girl Slay Γ Cleared Hot Or Whatever
The Slay Girl Slay Γ Cleared Hot Or Whatever wallet bottle opener is double-sided stainless steel, sized like a credit card, and fits right in a card slot. Pink MQ-9 on the front. "Cleared Hot Or Whatever" on the back, for the moment the plan stops mattering.
The Heavy Piece: A Drop Coin
Coins are pocket litter with weight. The Survived Epic Fury drop coin is 60mm with two-sided textured relief and a distressed gunmetal rim. Each one is individually numbered, and the run is capped at 250 pieces. When they are gone, that is the run.
Drop it on the table at the next staff meeting and watch the room recalibrate.
A Few Ground Rules
- Never cover your badge photo or any information on the badge.
- Our acrylic pieces have no electronics, no batteries and nothing that beeps.
- Your building's rules win every argument. Check before you kit out.
