Apparently, also available in the US. > You can get Lockheed Martin-branded apparel in the states, but it won’t have the same stylish cut or design. American manufacturers of promotional products, like Brand Junkie, in Cypress, Texas, also work with Lockheed Martin to “create unique products and sustain fulfillment programs and e-stores,” according to the Brand Junkie website. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/08/style/lockheed-martin-fashion.html https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/08/style/lockheed-martin-fas...

  When you put your money in a pocket it automatically sets it on fire and provides nothing in return.

Wow looks like you weren't kidding. They also don't look half bad.

  I think this particular line might have been caused by the overall debauchery at r/NCD.

It's not their line. They licensed their name and branding to another company. The same has been done with other brands like National Geographic, Discovery, Kodak, Jeep, etc.

It's also the first noteworthy brand I've seen sell down jackets without disclosing any ethical measures or certifications.
