Earned Not Given - Original Founders Run Hat

What This Drop Means

Earned Not Given is for the ones who know survival has a cost.

Nothing about this life was handed over clean. You carried the weight, made the decision, and got up again anyway.

This drop is not about proving you are tough. It is about recognizing what it took to still be here.

Built on the Richardson 112 platform and finished with a custom leatherette patch, each hat is assembled in-house by Warriors Dawn.

Every patch is designed in-house and laser-engraved in small batches. After engraving, each piece is cut, finished, and applied by hand in our workshop. Because of this process, subtle variations in tone, depth, and texture can occur from piece to piece.

No two hats are perfectly identical—and that variation is part of the process, not a defect. It reflects a small-batch build approach rather than mass production.

Limited by the run. Finished after you order.
Each piece is completed in-house after purchase, but every drop has a fixed limit. Once the run is gone, it is archived. Most orders ship in 3-5 days. U.S. shipping included. No added shipping charge at checkout.

Color Guide

Each hat is built on a Richardson 112 base. Due to supplier naming and Shopify variant limits, colors are listed using standard industry names, but here is the exact mapping:

• Gold Hat = Amber / Gold
• Green Hat = Loden Green
• White Hat = Beige / White

All hats use the same structured 112 platform and the same custom engraved leatherette patch.

This is the original EARNED NOT GIVEN leatherette patch, produced as part of the first Warriors Dawn Founders Run.

The remaining patches will continue to be made into hats until the original batch is exhausted. Once they're gone, this patch design will be archived and will not be produced again.

EARNED NOT GIVEN may continue in future Founders Run designs.

The words may return. This patch won't.
