The Origins of Project Honor Camo

Wednesday, July 18th, 2012

Last week we showed you the new Project Honor Camouflage pattern from LBX Tactical. Taking its name from Project Honor, an awareness and charity program associated with the upcoming Electronic Arts video game title ‘Medal of Honor Warfighter’ you can now see how it was created.

Working with Element Group, they adapted the TF Lion insignia to produce the pattern and went to Duro Textiles for printing. Look for pre-orders later this week of a variety of products in this unique camo pattern.

Kletterworks – They’re Back!

Wednesday, June 13th, 2012

Long before there was a Mystery Ranch or even a Dana Designs, there was Kletterwerks. Although short lived, it was Dana Gleason’s first pack company. And now, it’s back. At least, after a fashion. Kletterwerks is the baby of the Dana Gleason III, better known as D3. It’s envisioned as an update to the original line but from a lifestyle angle rather than hardcore outdoor. The initial run, already sold out, will premiere in Japan. We can’t wait to see what they’ve cooked up.

Follow them on Facebook to keep abreast of their latest updates.

Off Duty – Ministry of Supply Introduces Apollo Shirts on Kickstarter

Monday, June 11th, 2012

When we wrote about Ministry of Supply‘s performance office wear shirts we didn’t expect them to be as big of a hit as they turned out to be. The concept of combining performance fabrics with business wear really resonated with our readers. Now, Ministry of Supply has told us about their next project, a shirt made from phase change materials. Not only that, but they are launching it through Kickstarter, which we have found is a great way to crowd source start up costs for a project.

This new Apollo shirt is made from a Phase Change Material developed for use in NASA space suits. The material offers you heat management. The concept behind the fabric is that it stores body heat when you’re hot and releases it later as conditions cool. Additionally, it provides moisture management properties and odor control. It’s also wrinkle free and machine wash. What’s more, the Apollo is Made in the USA!

Get in on the action at Kickstarter.
