Hard Knock Hangout 2025: The Ultimate Gathering of Hot Rods, Flannels, and Community

Hard Knock Hangout 2025: The Ultimate Gathering of Hot Rods, Flannels, and Community
Hard Knock Hangout 2025: The Ultimate Gathering of Hot Rods, Flannels, and Community

The Hard Knock Hangout is back for its 4th annual event, and this year promises to be bigger and better than ever! On Saturday, April 12th, from 2 PM to 8 PM, flannel lovers, hot rod enthusiasts, and motorcycle fanatics from across the country will come together to celebrate their shared passions in a way that no screen could ever replicate.

More Than Just a Meetup – It’s a Family

What started as a small event to feature artists from the Hales Legendary Flannels community has evolved into a full-blown annual tradition. The event bridges the gap between social media friendships and real-life connections, bringing together flannel enthusiasts from Washington to New Hampshire who have been following and supporting each other for years.

Last year, over 30-35 individuals from the flannel community traveled from across the country to join in, and that’s not even counting the incredible local custom car, truck, and bike enthusiasts who rolled in for the day. This year, we’re expecting an even bigger crowd as the word continues to spread.

A Special Flannel Surprise – LIVE at the Event!

For the first time in Hales Legendary Flannels history, we’re dropping a brand-new, surprise flannel release LIVE at the event! But don’t worry—if you can’t make it, the rest of the world will have a chance to grab one online the following week.

Meet the Artists: Live Demonstrations & Custom Creations

One of the highlights of Hard Knock Hangout is the guest artists, who showcase their incredible skills live and in person. This year, we’re featuring two talented artists who are taking their craft to the next level:

Cory Angevine – Custom Pinstriping Artist

Back for his second appearance, Cory Angevine brings his hand-pinstriped creations to life. From large aluminum panels to Texas-shaped cutouts and even custom bottle openers, his work is a must-see. Cory specializes in hot rods, motorcycles, and helmets, and he has a passion for giving back—supporting the Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital by auctioning off his art annually at the Dallas Autorama.

Jared North – Leatherwork Artist (Garden City Customs

Jared North, an Army Veteran (MP, Afghanistan), is making his debut as a guest artist this year after attending last year’s event with his family. His live leather stamping and stitching demos will allow attendees to participate hands-on and learn the craft. Jared’s handmade leather goods incorporate Hales flannel material, and he’ll have everything from purses and wallets to leather keychains for sale.

Live Music That Brings the Energy

Two incredible bands will be taking the stage this year:

Lulu and the Blacksheep – Performing at 4 PM with their signature high-energy sound.
Justin Pickard & The Thunderbird Winos – Returning as headliners at 6 PM for a 90-minute set.

The Best Food & Drinks in Texas

Great food and drinks will be on hand, featuring:

Harold Dean Smoked Goods – Award-winning BBQ from Flower Mound, TX.
RJ’s Cocina – The best street food tacos in the metroplex.
Big Lu’s Micheladas – Arguably the best Micheladas in Texas!
