Broken Knuckle Apparel: Veteran-Owned Workwear for Blue-Collar Americans

💥 Broken Knuckle Apparel: Grit-Fueled Workwear for the American Backbone

Welcome to Broken Knuckle Apparel. We're not here to follow trends—we're here to represent the real America. The men and women who put in the work, bleed for their families, and wear their scars like medals. If you're tired of fast fashion and ready to rep a brand with backbone, you're in the right place.


🔧 What Is Broken Knuckle Apparel?

Broken Knuckle Apparel is a veteran-owned American clothing brand built for the blue-collar workforce—railroaders, mechanics, linemen, veterans, tradesmen, and patriots who live with grit, honor, and hustle.
We design tough, bold workwear and lifestyle gear that holds up in the yard, on the job site, and off the clock.


💪 Built on Experience. Made for the Tough.

Founded by a U.S. Army 82nd Airborne veteran and 10-year Union Pacific railroad worker, this brand was born out of sweat, steel, and second shifts. We know the job doesn’t stop because of weather or wear—and neither should your gear.

"I wanted a brand that stood for something. Something real. Something blue-collar and American-made. That’s why I built Broken Knuckle Apparel."
