Black Knights. 165+ Years of Elite Cavalry Service.
Some units don't need words. The 1st Battalion, 5th Cavalry Regiment — the Black Knights — speaks through action, through history, through the men and women who wore the patch. This hoodie carries that insignia in clean, text-free form: understated, dignified, unmistakable to those who know.
Whether you wore the patch, served alongside those who did, or carry the legacy in your family, this is the garment built to honor that bond — every day, not just on Veterans Day.
The Black Knights — A Legacy Forged in 1855
Formed in 1855 as one of the U.S. Army's premier mounted units, the 5th Cavalry Regiment was hand-selected by Secretary of War Jefferson Davis from across a dozen states. From frontier operations to Vietnam, from Desert Storm to modern deployments, the Black Knights have answered every call. Over 165 years of service. One enduring standard: excellence.
