Just recently I was introduced to Black Helmet Apparel.com- –an online store founded by a Fireman for Firefighters. “Black Helmet Apparel is the future of firefighter casual wear and has is a clothing line firefighters can be proud to wear.” As far as I know, it is the only one of its kind and a great way to represent while off duty.
I had the opportunity to review a couple of their items and I was quite impressed. All the designs are hand drawn, and unique. The images you will find relay the fearless, but frightening side of a firefighter’s job. The sayings on the shirts are simple and straight to the point –Smoke Showin’. Aggressive Attack. Adapt and Overcome. Fight Fire. Fire Out. You have your choice of a T-shirts, Hoodies, or Polos, which ever suits your style. They also have apparel for women and kids too.
The shirts I received were for males so my husband played a part in helping me with this review.
The first shirt was the Adapt and Overcome Classic Fit Firefighter Tee. The artwork and design on this shirt was great and the message even more—It read: “Sometimes you have to think outside the box. You can’t game plan for everything. All you can do is Adapt and Overcome”.
Next up was the Black Helmet Polo Shirt. Nice and sporty for the more dress up occasion. This one was a complete winner. The perfect color, fabric and style. It was also very comfortable. According to him, the best aspect of this shirt was the ventilation panels and the ultra-dry technology of Dri-Mesh.
In general, the shirts were done with great style, comfort-ability and good quality in mind. I must say, the website does no justice, they are a lot better in person. These would make a great Valentine’s Day gift for the Firefighter in your life, the Wife of a Firefighter, Mom, Dad, or Kid of one.
Don’t worry if you don’t know someone personally who would love this gift. Grab one for yourself in honor of the many fire fighters who put their lives on the line each day. Black Helmet Apparel is committed to supporting the firefighter community and contribute a portion of all profits to not for profit charities and foundations. See the list here.

A great way to honor our firefighting heroes.
Not a big fan of skull wear, I do love the hat styles and the Hoodies.
Think they might show some love for the baby? Like slap a logo on a cloth diaper cover?
Cute!
