Propper started out in 1967 as a manufacturer for the U.S. military, supplying the iconic “Dixie Cup” uniform hats for sailors. Since then, we’ve provided over 160 million garments to the U.S. Department of Defense – more than any other manufacturer.

Our heritage informs how we operate. We are a retail brand, but don’t believe in gimmicks or marketing ploys. We focus on what wins contracts — quality materials, durable craftsmanship, and real-world utility. Our clothing, boots and gear are designed by experts to keep you comfortable, professional-looking, and safe in the field. We manufacture most of our items right here in the U.S., and frequently update our inventory to meet the evolving needs of the professionals who trust us.
Propper has been in business for more than 57 years, and we believe loyalty is something you earn over time. We work with our customers to ensure they have what they need to do their jobs well.
