FirstSpear Friday Focus – Beanie & Neck Gaiter

Friday, February 2nd, 2024

Introducing the two latest editions to the FirstSpear ACM Lineup.

Neck Gaiter

Cut from the latest addition to the ACM family of materials and design, the Neck Gaiter – ACM 150 is the next evolution in FirstSpear layering systems. Years of feedback amongst clandestine units, across continents and bushwhacks abroad, provided our designers and engineers all the dope they needed to produce the Neck Gaiter of the 21st Century. With cutting edge stretch and durability, quality American stitching and color selections, you’ll be glad you squared yourself away with this one.

Beanie

The Beanie – ACM 150 is the latest advancement in our lineage of wool beanies. Made from the same revolutionary 150 wool blend as the Hooded Field Shirts v2. This Beanie provides the same stretch, durability and quality American stitching as the Neck Gaiter. Combine these two for solid protection.

Both are constructed of ACM Base 150 – 55% Lenzing FR, 33% Wool, 12% Nylon.

Wednesday, January 31st, 2024

[Phoenix, AZ 01/30/2024] – Offensive Marketing Group (OMG) is proud to celebrate the recent release of a groundbreaking video project for esteemed client Sig Sauer. Titled “M400 TREAD Rifle: The New Face of Freedom,” the masterfully shot segment artfully blends a powerful historical narrative with cutting-edge visuals to showcase the iconic M400 Tread rifle.

OMG collaborated with a team of specialists, including wardrobe experts, set designers, and armorers, to ensure that every aspect of the production adhered to the highest standards of authenticity. The result is a video that not only showcases the modern M400 Tread rifle but also pays homage to the spirit of American independence and freedom from tyranny.

One of the standout features of the production is the meticulous attention to detail exhibited by OMG’s in-house CGI Team. Tasked with recreating historically significant environments from the American Revolution, the team delved into extensive research, referencing authentic documents and period-specific material to ensure a truly immersive experience for the viewer.

“We were honored to help craft this important piece for Sig Sauer. It was no small task to portray the rich history of the American Patriot and the iconic flags associated with each revolutionary time period,” said Scott Conditt, Co-Founder & Creative Director at OMG.

“We really focused on story, character, and uniquely portraying each scene. The combination of high-end practical filming techniques combined with advanced CGI is something we do expertly at OMG and we feel that gave this segment a special level of surrealism,” added Jeremy Tremp, Co-Founder & Creative Director at OMG.

Black Triangle Presents: The E4 Mafia Shirt Featuring Clint Trial

Tuesday, January 30th, 2024

Master Sergeant Clint Trial (USMC, Ret) is one of my favorite Americans, so I was quite pleased when one of my favorite small businesses, Black Triangle, decided to offer a CT t-shirt to raise money for the Third Option Foundation and Torn Warriors.

Here’s the story behind the shirt from Clint himself:

“A man will never excel at giving orders if he’s never questioned the orders he’s been given.”
I wrote this a long time ago. Probably around the time this photo was taken. It felt like the truth back then every bit as much as it does today.
I’ve always had issues with “authority figures”
…from as far back as I can remember, I always looked at authority figures with suspicion. I didn’t know why I was that way… seemed like that was just how I was designed. After 51 years of living, I think it’s all starting to make much more sense now. My healthy distaste for authority figures was not unwarranted.
It is this Marine’s opinion that “authority figures” are nothing more than an illusion created by men who crave power over others.
One might very easily point out the glaring contradiction in this photo… “uhhh but yeah man… if you hate authority figures so much then how the hell did you spend 20+ yrs in the Marine Corps?”
My answer is simple – because any good Marine who is worthy of leading other Marines is NOT an authority figure… he is a leader. And the difference between those two things could not be greater. Being led is a much different feeling than being forced to follow. A good leader will lead by example and mentor and guide those who follow. An authority figure doesn’t give 2 shits about any of those things. An authority figure says “Obey or else!” The Marine Corps I served in did an excellent job of weeding out authority figures and an excellent job of creating strong leaders. But like anywhere else in life …there are always those who slip through the cracks.. even in the Corps. When this picture was taken … that middle finger was aimed towards a few of those “authority figures”.

I post this somewhat embarrassing photo of myself because I can see how it is a micro reflection of how I feel about our current government. Only it seems the cracks now are massive fractures that have allowed a flooding of “authority” types into the halls of our most sacred American institutions.”

Available in Olive and Black, sizes Small through 5XLarge.
