Revolutionizing Tactical Apparel: A Legacy of Innovation Meets Cutting-Edge Performance
With over 180 years of heritage dating back to the Civil War, Fechheimer-parent company of Flying Cross and Vertx-brings unparalleled expertise to uniform manufacturing as the first company to standardize uniform blocks. This extensive history ensures that whatever challenges arise in the uniform space, Fechheimer delivers exceptional solutions backed by nearly two centuries of innovation and understanding of tactical needs.
The groundbreaking Flying Cross Power Flex represents a true evolution in uniform design as the industry's first 100% polyester knit uniform. Developed over three years, this revolutionary garment offers multi-directional stretch, superior breathability, and exceptional color retention while incorporating practical features like permanent creases, communications wire pass-throughs, and hidden pockets—delivering Class B functionality with a Class A appearance. The collection includes specially designed patrol shirts optimized for wear under carriers and matching four and six-pocket pants using the same performance fabric.
Complementing this innovation, the Vertx Fusion Flex uniform introduces cutting-edge 37.5® technology that surpasses traditional moisture-wicking through advanced evaporative cooling. This remarkable system utilizes the body's own IR signature to break down sweat at the molecular level, drying five times faster than conventional fabrics while providing temperature regulation and inherent anti-odor properties. Available in button-up and patrol shirt styles with strategically repositioned seams to prevent carrier discomfort, the Fusion Flex line includes coordinating pants and comes in Desert Tan, Black, Navy, and O.D. Green-all available in both men's and women's sizing.
