MTHD is Tactical Distributors performance wear house brand. It’s getting cold outside and we thought you might like their MTHD Merino Mid-Wt. 3/4 Long John Bottoms, a level 1 garment.
Made from Merino wool which keeps you warm even when wet, is comfortable next your skin, and is inherently anti-microbial and ni melt, no drip; they feature full-length side zips plus waist tab snaps allows for easy donning and doffing. Plus, the 3/4-length avoids bunching up at the boot top.
Urban Tactical is the Canadian dealer for UF PRO. They’ve made a sizable investment in bringing the brand in and have the latest products like this Striker X Combat Shirt in Steel Grey, a color that has become quite popular with law enforcement.
I’m told the venerable Woolly Pully is featured in the upcoming Bond movie and demand is once again up. I’ve always loved them, having received my first sweater, a child’s version of the RAF issue sweater, from my dad when I was a kid which he purchased from a NAAFI during a TDY to the UK in the late 70s. Since then, I’ve owned a few of these so-called Commando Sweaters. Some were purchased and the others traded for, but always fond memories.
Parabellum Prime has the real deal from their British manufacturer. These are the same wool models you’ll remember, in Black, Green and Grey.
Parabellum Prime hosted a Grayman & Company mannequin during OpEx which gave a good idea of the quality of their custom tailored suits for low viz ops and protective detail personnel.
Standard features include such necessities as cut resistant sleeves and hidden ID panels, Action back and quick draw front button.
Vertx’s sister brand is Flying Cross which not only provides dress uniforms for the US military but is also a very well respected blue goods brand, manufacturing Law Enforcement uniforms.
They’ve offered the Dutyguard HT Pullover for several years which is popular with LEOs who wear external armor vests as part of their uniform. It’s kind of a Combat Shirt but with fleece-lined pockets high up on the chest which can be accessed via the arm holes of the vest.
The Hybrid Technology Pullover features waterproof, breathable shell fabric throughout the shoulder and chest area that provides a safeguard from the elements, coupled with knit stretch performance fabric along the torso to shed light rain and a 1/4 front zipper for ventilation. It’s offered in Black, LAPD Navy and OD Green, sizes XSmall – 5XLarge.
Due to its popularity, they’ve introduced an insulated version called the HT+ for cold weather wear. Same sizing but only offered in Black and LAPD Navy.
Point6 makes my favorite Merino wool socks and they exhibited on the Parabellum Prime booth at OpEx.
In addition to socks they also manufacture Merino baselayers. Up until now they’ve only been available in Black but they recently did a run in Tan which is very close to Tan 499 (Coyote). They feature flat seams, tape hang slot and Raglan sleeves (for the top).

“This is a heavy duty, no BS kind of flannel. It makes anything store bought look cheap and flimsy. On anything but the absolute of coldest days, a base layer and this flannel are plenty to keep you warm. And yes, everything that says size down is correct. I’m 5’7″ and 160lbs and the small is perfect on me after a wash or two.”

“I have had this flannel for about a year and it is my go to fall and winter shirt. Quality is excellent. On par or better than Filson. Does run big. I’m 6ft 200lbs with a 34 in waist and generally wear an XL. I bought a large and dried it on hot and it fits well. Probably could get away with a medium for a really fitted look.”
