Our Story
Blue Collar Ops is a veteran owned workwear apparel company. The inspiration to bring high-quality, military grade protection and movement capabilities to the US laborer came from Ken’s experiences while serving in the 75th Ranger Regiment. After a couple of months and a couple of beers, Ken enlisted Jim and Casey in his vision to make apparel developed for those who defend our country available to those who build our country. Blue Collar Ops has partnered with the premier special operations forces military uniform manufacturer to leverage their combat proven knee insert design into our work pants.
