Black and white illustration of chess legend Raul Jose Capablanca, as part of Modern Defense category ‘The Board’, starring influential chess players of all sorts.

Worn by those for whom the game of chess isn’t a game at all.

A woman with curly hair wearing a green sweatshirt with white text, smiling and standing with one hand near her face against a purple background.

Modern Defense lives where chess meets the pile of shirts by your bed. For those who love both the game and the characters that give it color.

A person wearing a green beanie and earrings, facing away, with a white T-shirt that has a green graphic of a horse's head and a message that reads, 'Feed their horse fried liver!'

New collection!

‘New’, sure…—though technically, also our first.

It features a stacked salute to five Soviet legends, a Xerox-style tribute to chess’s reluctant prophet, and a portrait of The Rigan Magician, drawn (as all Board members) like we found him in the shadows of your old yearbook.

Chess is more than winning. It’s learning. Losing. Mastery and Madness. It’s Prep. Art. Math. Dignity. Obsession. Life. And, yes—lack thereof.
