Here are a few photos from a recent prop building day for the VES crew. The props are simple interior door-off-the-hinges simulators for our upcoming can confidence class. As much as we could talk about the props, they are actually quite simple and we’ll more than likely do a full write up on them in the future.
What this post is really about are those awesome shirts we are wearing. Those happen to be the “Keys to the City” shirts from Hook and Irons Co . Hook and Irons is run by a couple of solid dudes who happen to be fellow Floridians. Their designs truly reflect the beauty and history of our job. They only utilize high quality materials, and they feature awesome designs that typically have an actual story behind them. Check out their site and click on the descriptions of each of their shirts to read the stories behind the designs. Be sure to check out the designs tilted The Last Great Fire and Aerial Patent to see some of the back story we are talking about. Besides the quality of materials, and the stories, the coolest part about their products is how subtle the designs are. A fellow fireman would certainly recognize the design, but it doesn’t scream “HEY LOOK AT ME I’M A FIREMAN.”
Be sure to check them out and let them know how awesome their designs are. Maybe we can talk them into a working up a VES design?
Cool gear from some of the best guys in the business.
If you want to brag about being a firefighter, these guys probably aren’t for you. But if you want something subtle and unique that still reflects tradition and pride in the job, go check them out.
I feel like a douche wearing firefighter style t-shirts off duty. Feels macho or lame somehow. This is stuff anyone could wear, it just happens to be firefighter related.
Glad y’all took a minute to give these guys some props.
