About Us

How It Started

BloodStripe Industries didn't start as a business plan — it started as a conversation between two Marines at a bar in Snohomish, WA. We were talking about pulling together a platoon reunion, and someone said, "we should get shirts made." So we threw together a simple site where our platoon could order t-shirts and sweatshirts for the reunion.

That was it. That was the whole plan.

Except it didn't stop there. What started as a one-off reunion shirt run turned into something we kept building on — new designs, new products, and a growing lineup that's still expanding today.

Why "BloodStripe"

If you've ever seen a Marine in Dress Blues, you've seen the scarlet stripe running down the outer seam of the trousers — the "blood stripe." Traditionally worn by NCOs and officers, it stands as a reminder of the Marines who fought and fell at the Battle of Chapultepec, and today it honors the sacrifice of every Marine who came before. It's a small detail on a uniform that carries a lot of weight — which is exactly why we built our name around it.

Who We Are

We're veteran-owned and veteran-operated, run by Marines who wanted to make something real for the community we came from. Every product starts as an idea from people who've actually lived this life, and every order is printed to order, one at a time.

Supporting the veteran community isn't a marketing angle for us — it's the whole reason this company exists. We're proud to give back to veteran-focused causes along the way, because that's where BloodStripe came from in the first place.

What We Make

From platoon reunion tees to everyday apparel, we design and print gear that means something — for Marines, veterans, and anyone who supports the mission. Our catalog keeps growing, and every new design goes through the same filter: would we actually wear this?
