Origin USA, based in Farmington, Maine founded by Pete Roberts and co-owned with Navy Seal Jocko Willink, has been developing a tactical denim in collaboration with Mike Glover of Fieldcraft Survival and they are getting closer to a release date targeting Spring 2024. The cotton was grown in Texas. The denim was milled in Georgia and the pants are being sewn in North Carolina. 100% Made in America with American hands.
Introducing the two latest editions to the FirstSpear ACM Lineup.
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.
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.
