SIMONE Travel Belt from Station IX

Thursday, February 15th, 2024

The Gen 2 SIMONE travel belt is now available on Station IX’s French site, and will be for sale on the US site this week.

Originally created in 2021, the survival, immersion and movement – ONE (SIMINE) belt has been updated and is now manufactured by the French firm Hexatac.

Unlike other travel belts on the market, the SIMONE doesn’t use Velcro or a zipper to retain the items secreted within the belt, but rather relies on Spandex to keep them secure. This allows the wearer to access the items without removing the belt, with full 360 deg access.

The outer material is Hypalon and the SIMONE features an internal rigid skeleton to accommodate holsters or other waist mounted items. Finally, the carbon buckle is nonmetallic.

Offered in Small, Medium, and Large.

The Dread and Fear of Kings Launches Echelon Jacket

Tuesday, December 12th, 2023

Although just launching a few months ago, new products are already coming off the line for The Dread and Fear of Kings including the Echelon Jacket.

The DFK team ran me through a line review during last weekend’s Grand Opening of Scottsdale Tactical.

Just a quick note, the clothing and accessories do not include helmets or armor; the room we met in is located in Haley Strategic Partners which resembles a museum as much as a business.

Made in Italy, the Echelon jacket is inspired by the classic World War II Tanker Jacket with its stand up collar. It’s made from Loro Piana wool cashmere blend and lined with Italian silk.

It doesn’t ride up and hangs low enough to cover anything you’re carrying at your waistline. Additionally, the cuffs and collar are elasticized to keep warmth in.

In addition to two handwarmer pockets, the Echelon incorporates zippered bicep pockets as well as articulated and reinforced elbows.

I rarely do this but I’m sharing a photo of me wearing the Echelon Jacket. The fit is great and quite comfortable. I’m just as impressed with it as I am with the Envoy Jacket I already own, maybe even a bit more. For one thing, the Echelon’s Cashmere has a bit more stretch than the waxed canvas of the Envoy. It’s also a bit more understated while the Envoy gives off a bit of a tactical vibe.

I sent my wife that photo and she asked if it was a Louis Vuitton jacket. I replied that it was in fact DFK, but that she was right about it being made in Europe. But that doesn’t mean that this is a fashion brand. The quality is very high and it looks great, but inside the jacket there are some extras like pass-through zippers you won’t find off the rack at Saaks.

The product is exclusive with zero compromises. Across the line, materials originate in Europe or the US. The same with manufacture.

Some have complained about the company being tight lipped about their clothing and accessories but it’s by design. You contact them and they come to you for a showing and fitting.

If you’re still interested, you can check out The Dread and Fear of Kings’ offerings here. You’ll also see some details on IG @thedreadandfearofkings.

Grayman & Company – Polo Shirt

Saturday, September 2nd, 2023

When I purchased my Polo Shirt a few years ago from Grayman & Co, I looked at it as more of a business casual item than something greenside. But then I ran across this photo and realized, why the heck not?

Granted, it’s not cheap, but it is very well made, from 100% Merino Wool. And for the guys who get triggered by this, it’s made in Italy (egad!).

In addition to being very comfortable, the open weave leaves it quite breathable, making it a great four season shirt.

As for operational features, the Polo incorporates slim wire-management loops, serged into the side-seams and shoulder. Additionally, webbing loops for microphone clips are sewn into the placket and under the collar flaps and the collar band features a wire pass-through channel.

Offered in Light Grey, Taupe (which I bought to blend with a wider variety of pants and jackets), Green, Very Dark Green, Dark Grey, and Very Dark Blue.

Sizing is XS -XXL in short, regular, and long lengths.
