WHO ARE WE?
Veterans Apparel was built for our heroes in uniform and the support systems behind those uniforms. Our goal is to bring the values our country was built on into each of our pieces and the communities we serve. Service isn’t the same for everyone, but family, community and pride for our country will always unite us. Through our apparel, we hope to continue the legacy of all service heroes and the foundations that keep everything together while our heroes are serving. Whether you’ve worn a service uniform or not, we stand with you.
You and your loved ones had our backs, now we have yours.
BEHIND VETERANS APPAREL
Rich Jones and Dave Hosier co-founded Veterans Apparel in September 2021, with a goal to offer apparel that our service heroes and their support systems could proudly represent during these tumultuous times.
Rich’s career spanned over 26 years in the Air Force with 17 deployments while serving in uniform and as a government contractor. One thing was missing after retirement, giving back to those who have served as well as those that have supported the service and sacrifices of these proud veterans.
Dave’s adventure kicked off 22 years ago when he decided to start a company that serves and sells apparel brands to the military. Dave teamed up with the KC Chiefs Cheerleaders in 2014 by conducting fashion shows and cheerleader clinics at over 53 military bases over the last six years. The excitement of these fashion shows on the bases grew to a point where the shows expanded into meet & greets, base tours and various shows for our troops and their families. The friendships and lives that were touched over this time were life changing and is how the relationship with Rich began.
After meeting at a military event 8 years ago, Dave, Rich and their families recognized that service and deployments aren’t sustainable without a strong support system. They shared the same vision of wanting to give back to our service heroes and their families for the many sacrifices. Like many, family is what got them through all of their work commitments and they wanted to find a way to recognize and support not only our service heroes, but the loved ones behind them as well. Veterans Apparel became their way of creating a united appreciation for all aspects of service.
