Blue Force Gear Releases Updated ULTRAcomp Wallet Just in Time for Father’s Day

Monday, June 12th, 2023

Pooler, GA – Blue Force Gear is proud to announce the release of its updated ULTRAcomp® Wallet. Made from a self-extinguishing fabric, it’s literally a wallet your money can’t burn a hole through. The ULTRAcomp Wallet’s water-resistant and anti-microbial properties make it a great line of defense against summer swamp ass. And it reduces IR signatures, so you won’t have to worry about it giving away all those covert purchases you “didn’t” make.

The ULTRAcomp Wallet is designed to be as slim as possible while holding up to 12 credit/debit cards and licenses. The oversized bill fold accepts most forms of paper currency, including Canadian and EU size currency. And because it’s made from ULTRAcomp—the same material Blue Force Gear uses in its plate carriers, battle belts, and other tactical gear—this wallet exceeds military tear- and abrasion-resistance standards. How’s that for durability?

The ULTRAcomp Wallet is available at BlueForceGear.com in four colors: MultiCam®, Coyote Brown, Black, and Wolf Gray.

Kitfox Design Group Releases the Waterfowl Hunting Blanket

Friday, April 28th, 2023

IRON MOUNTAIN, Mich. (April 28, 2023) – Kitfox Design Group is excited to announce their latest throw blanket project, the Waterfowl Hunting-themed blanket.

The Waterfowl Blanket is woven in a small family-owned textile mill located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The throw features several popular waterfowl species, including the Blue-winged Teal, Mallard, Wood Duck, and the Canadian Goose. The throw blankets are made on European Jacquard looms with roughly eight miles of American-made, 100% cotton yarn. 

“After completing four war centric throw blanket designs, it was time to take a break and work on something a little more lighthearted.” said Sara Westman, the owner of Kitfox Design Group and illustrator behind the blanket. “This is really only the start of a spin off collection centering around bird hunting, but as the owner of two labs it was only natural to start with waterfowl.”

Pre-orders open April 28th at 9:00 a.m. CST and will close at 11:59 p.m. CST on May 12. This time around, pre-orders will begin shipping as soon as two weeks after pre-orders close.

The blanket is launching in two sizes: a throw which measures roughly 54”x72” and a queen measuring roughly 62”x84”. The blankets will retail at $125 and $150 plus shipping respectively and will ship worldwide. 

The blankets and other items from the Waterfowl Collection are available for purchase on the Kitfox website

Sneak Peek – Waterfowl Blanket from Kitfox Design Group

Sunday, April 2nd, 2023

Kitfox has produced several sought after throw blankets depicting weapons of war, but for their latest project they’ve switched their focus to hunting.

The blanket features a Beretta Over Under, a variety of waterfowl, the best boiis (Labradors and Chessies of course), and a splash of flora to justify it having a place on your couch with the wives and girlfriends.

Stuff I Like – The Flight Suit from Kühl

Wednesday, March 22nd, 2023

For the man who wears everything Kühl comes the Flight Suit. This jumpsuit has two interesting features: a hood and thumb loops which make it great for kühler weather. It’s also made from a pretty robust knit, similar to a heavy sweatshirt.

I’ve got one and it’s über komfi. Made from a knit fabric, it’s got some stretch and has plenty of room. If you go off of their size guide and sit in between sizes, I suggest you go down, unless for some reason you want to layer under it.

Even though there are only four zippered pockets including chest and thighs pockets, I find myself looking for items like my cell phone. There’s plenty of storage.

Offered in Dark Moss, Raven, and Pirate Blue in sizes Small-XLarge with 30 or 32 inseams.

Art of the Gun’s Etsy store features a variety of her work, including prints and now queen sized fleece blankets like this one, emblazoned with the Winkler Axe and Tan Glock 19X image.
