Built for the Long Haul. Worn with Purpose.
Some garments hold a story. This one holds a legacy.
The Army 9th Engineer Battalion – Gilas Crewneck is a tribute to the men who served at Num and Aschaffenburg, West Germany during the Cold War. The gold castle crest, unit name, service locations, and veteran ribbon are rendered with quiet precision — heritage graphics that feel earned, not decorative.
Constructed from a medium-heavy 8.0 oz/yd² 50/50 cotton-poly fleece, this crewneck is built to outlast trends and reunions alike. Tubular knit construction eliminates side seams for a cleaner silhouette, while double-needle stitching at the cuffs and hem ensures it holds its shape through years of wear and washing. The ribbed collar stays put. The fleece stays soft. The story stays with you.
Why this crewneck stands apart:
- 8.0 oz/yd² medium-heavy 50/50 cotton-poly fleece — substantial warmth without bulk
- Tubular knit (no side seams) + double-needle stitching for structure and durability
- Ribbed knit collar that retains shape wash after wash
- DTF inner neck label + DTG printed graphics with Oeko-Tex certified dyes
- Ethically sourced US Cotton Trust Protocol cotton — meets flammability, lead, and safety standards
- Available in Navy, Sand, White, Black, and Military Green — sizes S through 5XL
Layer it over a tee for a morning coffee run. Pack it in a duffel for a reunion weekend. Wear it at a remembrance and let the design speak for itself. This is the crewneck that moves with you — and honors the service behind it.
