Badass Facts About the U.S. Army That Inspired Our “Army Strong” Collection

The U.S. Army doesn’t just defend—it defines grit, innovation, and resilience. It’s the original badasses who built the nation, mapped the wild, and still stand guard over freedom every single day. With roots that run deep in history and a legacy of strength, the Army’s story is as bold as the soldiers who live it.

Here are just a few Army facts that fueled the fire behind our newest collection, Army Strong.

The Army Is Older Than America

While the U.S. celebrates its birthday on July 4, 1776, the Army was already kicking ass a year earlier. Established on June 14, 1775, it’s been serving longer than the nation it protects.

24 Presidents Were Army Tough

From George Washington to Dwight D. Eisenhower, 24 U.S. presidents sharpened their leadership skills in the Army. These aren’t just desk warriors—they commanded, fought, and earned the stripes that helped them lead the country.

Their Hands Built This Nation

From constructing forts and railroads to designing the Interstate Highway System, the Army Corps of Engineers didn’t just build infrastructure—they built the backbone of America. You use their work every day without even knowing it.

Women Have Been Kicking Down Barriers Since Day One

Long before women officially joined the Army in World War II, they were already out there serving as nurses, spies, and even fighting in disguise. Today, women are leading the charge in every role, proving strength knows no gender.

Camo? They Basically Invented It

Before it was a streetwear trend, camouflage was a battlefield necessity perfected by the Army. Blending in and standing out at the same time? That’s Army ingenuity at its finest.

Why “Army Strong”? Here’s the Deal

These aren’t just facts—they’re fuel. The Army’s grit, ingenuity, and never-quit attitude inspired us to create something worthy of their legacy. This December, we’re honoring the men and women who’ve served and continue to serve with our latest collection: Army Strong.

We didn’t just slap a camo print on a shirt and call it a day. Nope. We spent countless hours consulting with Army friends and family of Hales, perfecting every detail. From the colorways that reflect the Army’s resilience to the artwork on the labels, tees, and stickers, every inch of this collection is a tribute.

And the pattern? Oh, you’re gonna love this. We wanted something bold, something that whispered camo while shouting plaid flannel. The result? A shirt that works as hard as you do and looks damn good doing it.
