Roots Bloody Roots Sweatshirt — the bloody roots of our history, etched in steel.
"Ideals are peaceful. History is violent."
The Roots Bloody Roots Sweatshirt centres on the iconic Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife and skull — a nod to the bloody roots of our history and the Commando spirit forged in the darkest days of the Second World War. Look closer and you will find "Vindictive" inscribed on the blade: a direct tribute to HMS Vindictive and the audacious Zeebrugge Raid of 1918, where men proved their mettle amid the smoke and chaos of the mole. This kit carries the weight of that history and the courage behind the colours that we defend.
Founded by a former Royal Marine and UKSF operator, HMG Clothing is built on British military heritage — the history that shaped it, the culture that carries it, and the people who lived it. For those in the arena, and for those who support those that serve.
