High quality nylon watch band depicting the colors of the Iraq Campaign Medal.
Military
service used to be pretty fashionable - the first Airborne wings were solid
silver and made by Tiffany's & Company. Brooks Brothers started off
tailoring officer's uniforms in NYC in 1818. Burberry's iconic Trench Coat was
originally quite literally designed for WWI soldiers fighting in the trenches.
I was looking for a way to bring that back - in a similar way that the British
military does with their regimental ties, lapel pins, and formal traditions.
Inspired by the British Guards Division NATO watch strap (noticeably worn by
many people who never served in the British military, but also, and with more
pride, by those in the Guards).
I am trying to
achieve this with Gentleman Ranker. Our first offer was the Iraq Campaign watch
band, but now have the Afghanistan Campaign Medal as well, and we are
developing other options. with the support of other veterans and military
members who also want a more subtle, classy way to show their service, we can
expand to other campaigns, product lines, and forms of apparel.
This is an excellent way for veteran professionals to display our pride of service in a classier, more professional manner.
A portion of every sale goes directly to Veterans Service charities.
