Cop love. Thug love.
The glock made the gun, an arguably rudimentary mechanical contraction, relatively speaking, sexy, high-tech/futuristic and TACTICAL COUTURE was made a thing - then you have 5.11 - and the ramp up with all sorts of other tacctical couture lifestyle brands (triple aught, etc) Now you have tactical couture coffee in Black Rifle (which ads a veneer of "giving back" to the tactically couture marketing siphon that occurs in all industries...(the marketing siphon is in all industries)
Recall when Robo Cop came out and Ford did the placement of the Ford Taurus as the cop car in RoboCop - it made it look 'futuristic, yet based in reality.
All of a sudden the ford Taurus entered the police wardrobe.
(Have you noticed that police talk about lack of funds, low pay, and have robocallers asking for donations, yet you've never seen a dirty, old police cruiser of any sort.
They rock brand new ford whatevers all the time.
For every explorer/expedition style made, like 30% of the yield of those lines go to LEO.

Yeah that was a part of my point.

Now they are tacticool clothes worn by all the LARPers and chairborne commandos. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5.11_Tactical https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5.11_Tactical
- korse 3y agoInteresting. I've been wearing Royal Robbins pants for years and actually ended up with a pair of 5.11 pants that I think are excellent. I'm not surprised that there is a connection. Screw the branding, but I spend a whole lot of time being active outside and really like clothing that is durable and moves very well.
