Warrior West – Jedburgh Cover Shirt By TD x Re-Factor

Friday, April 21st, 2017

The Jedburgh Cover Shirt was a collaborative between Re-Factor and TD. They spent over a year designing and refining the details, with more than 10 sample iterations made before they were ready for production. This was a purpose built shirt from the beginning, built for people who need to operate in warm environments without being overt. Both Tactical Distributors and RE Factor Tactical will have them for sale in late May.

Fabric: The fabric is a moisture wicking 2 way stretch fabric designed for hot environments. The stretch gives the user freedom to move without constraint. On the inside of the placket there is a heavy nylon fabric with pockets to give the user structure for when they sweep the shirt back for a clean draw and to reduce imprinting of any weapon the user may have in their appendix area.

Snaps: They chose snaps for easy access of weapons. The snaps are dyed to match the color of the shirt so they do not standout to any onlookers.

Pockets: Inside, there are 3 document pockets. Each is sized to fit a US issued passport or other small cards or pieces of paper.

Left chest external pocket: Has a one snap closure. The two pockets that are on the inside nylon reinforced plackets can hold coins or weights for extra weight when sweeping the shirt to the side for weapon presentation. The top stitch of the pockets is not noticeable on the outside.

Branding: There is no external branding on this shirt. Hence Covert.

Colors: The first two colors we are going to offer are: Dark Urban Grey and Blue Shadow

Fit: Athletic

Introducing an American-Made Web Belt with a Lifetime Warranty: The Trayvax Cinch

Tuesday, April 4th, 2017

Bellingham, WA — Trayvax, a US-based manufacturer of slim wallets and outdoor gear, is pleased to announce the addition of its newest product, the Cinch web belt. Built with heavy-duty MIL-SPEC nylon webbing that is completely sourced in the USA and an aerospace-grade aluminum buckle with an anodized finish (also sourced in the USA), the Cinch is built tough and backed by a lifetime warranty.

“The Cinch stays true to the rugged and minimalistic designs we’re known for,” said Gerald Craft, marketing and communications manager. “It’s built tough with a tensile strength of 2000 pounds, but features a light brush-grain pattern which gives it a smooth and attractive appearance.”

The Cinch utilizes a unique buckle design that uses friction for instant tensioning and a double tension point for hassle-free locking. In addition, the buckle has been contoured to fit comfortably against the body. Like most web belts, the Cinch features infinite sliding adjustment and does not require the need for adding holes.

The Trayvax Cinch web belt is now available for purchase. For more information, please visit www.trayvax.com/collections/accessories/products/trayvax-cinch.
