SAM-K

MY NAME IS SERGEANT RAMOS, AND I FOUNDED SAM-K OUT OF A DEEP PASSION FOR CREATING GEAR THAT TRULY REPRESENTS THE SPIRIT OF THE MARINE CORPS. I WAS TIRED OF SEEING ALL THE GENERIC BOOT MARINE SHIRTS ONLINE AND FELT THERE WAS A NEED FOR SOMETHING MORE AUTHENTIC, SOMETHING THAT MARINES LIKE ME WOULD ACTUALLY WEAR. AFTER GOING THROUGH SOME OF THE COMMON SCHOOLS LIKE MAI AND MCIWS, I WAS DISAPPOINTED BY THE DESIGNS AND LOGOS. THEY DIDN'T CAPTURE THE ESSENCE OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A MARINE. IF YOU LET A PLATOON DESIGN THEIR OWN SHIRT, IT WOULD HAVE DEATH AND VIOLENCE AND PROBABLY SOME WAR CRIMES ON IT, NOT SOME CIVILIAN SAFE FOR WORK...STUFF.

SO, I DECIDED TO TAKE MATTERS INTO MY OWN HANDS AND REDESIGN THEM. WHAT STARTED AS A SIMPLE PROJECT SOON EVOLVED INTO A FULL-BLOWN MISSION: TO CREATE SKIVY SHIRTS THAT REFLECT EVERY ASPECT OF MARINE CORPS LIFE—LIFTING, COMBAT, AND MOS. I LOVE THE MARINE CORPS, BUT WHAT I LOVE EVEN MORE IS THE REAL MARINE CORPS. TO ME, THAT MEANS HANGING OUT WITH THE BOYS, PREPPING FOR COMBAT, LIFTING LIKE I’M TRAINING FOR THE OLYMPICS, HONORING OUR FALLEN BROTHERS AND SISTERS, AND NEVER FORGETTING THAT WE WERE FOUNDED IN A BAR.

EVERY SHIRT I DESIGN CARRIES A PIECE OF MARINE CORPS HISTORY, A SAYING, OR A SENTIMENT THAT ONLY THOSE WHO’VE TRULY LIVED THE LIFE WOULD UNDERSTAND (EVEN OUR NAME). RAW, UNFILTERED, AND WITHOUT THE BOOT SENTIMENT. STAND BY TO GET SOME.
