About Us
THE IRON DIVISION STORY
Iron Division is a Texas-born apparel brand built for people who show up when it counts. Founded in 2025 and based in Del Rio, we design gear with a purpose: celebrate first responders, public-safety pros, veterans, and the everyday grinders who keep their communities moving. Our creed is simple: strength in unity, power in purpose.
We keep our line tight and rugged. Tees come in a durable, washed-black palette and an oversized/box fit that looks sharp on and off duty. Each piece is built to last, so it holds shape and color after real use, not just a photoshoot. When we say everyday ready, we mean it.
Iron Division started as a local project and grew into a movement backed by the same people we serve. We speak directly with our community, keep ordering simple, and stay hands-on with every drop. If you’re local, hit our DMs to order; if you’re not, stay tuned as we scale responsibly without losing what matters: quality, respect, and mission.
If you believe work is a calling and character is earned, you’re already part of the Division. Put it on. Go to work.
