About Deck XI

Made from service. Built with personality.

Deck XI is a veteran-inspired, family-driven creative brand founded by Alastair Pobre, a United States Navy Chief Petty Officer in Hampton Roads, Virginia.

What began as a passion for creating meaningful designs has grown into a shop built around Navy pride, Chief culture, nostalgia, humor, family, and the stories that connect us. Every Deck XI piece is designed to feel like more than merchandise—it should start a conversation, bring back a memory, or represent something worth carrying with you.

Rooted in service

Years of Navy service shaped Deck XI’s standards: take pride in the details, look after your people, and never put your name on work you cannot stand behind. That Chief mentality guides every order—from a single custom gift to apparel made for an entire Mess.

What we create

Deck XI specializes in custom apparel and personalized goods, including shirts, hoodies, tumblers, plaques, signs, stickers, patches, magnets, engraved items, and one-of-a-kind creations. Our designs blend military heritage with streetwear, pop culture, sports, retro artwork, and a healthy dose of Chief humor.

Family is part of the foundation

Deck XI is more than a business. It is a family project built around creativity, hard work, and making something meaningful together. Every order supports our family, helps the brand keep growing, and gives the next big idea a chance to become real.

Meet the quality-control crew

Dex is the face of Deck XI and our Director of Quality Control. He represents the different sides of the brand: creator, builder, artist, hype ram, and relentless defender of the Deck XI standard.

Chicken and Waffles are our official corgi mascots and unofficial supervisors. Waffles brings one bright blue eye, one floppy ear, and strong opinions about snack frequency. Chicken is the tricolor professional who keeps the operation moving.

Our standard

The name on the product matters. We care about bold artwork, thoughtful details, durable materials, and producing work we are proud to hand to a customer. Your support helps a small business grow—and, most importantly, helps feed two famously greedy corgis.

Thank you for supporting Deck XI.
Made with pride. Built for the crew.
