If you carried one, you already know, and the number tells you the rest. Wear this and you will get a knowing nod from every man who humped that rifle up a hill.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Love that I'm buying from a family-owned company. I wasn't disappointed. Outstanding quality and Service." (Martin B.)
Over 16,400 verified five-star reviews, and the two most common words in them are quality and service.
Plenty of hoodies at this price look and feel like a pillowcase with sleeves on it. Ours is 280gsm, fleece lined, and built to last. Heavyweight ringspun cotton on the outside, brushed fleece against the skin, and a double fabric hood that keeps its shape rather than hanging flat down your back by February.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top quality and very well made. Excellent print, very clear. The size is perfect fits me exactly how I like it. It's also longer than most hoodies I have so overall just perfect. (Tim C.)
- Best quality, 280 gsm, 80% ringspun cotton and 20% polyester, a proper heavyweight hoodie built to last winter after winter.
- Close-knit outer with a warm, soft fleece inner facing, a real thermal layer that is warm as toast.
- Generous fit - Previous customers say it fits both men and women well, and it is long enough to keep your belly to yourself when you stretch.
- High-definition direct-to-garment print (DTG) - crisp and fade-resistant wash after wash.
- Double fabric hood with drawcord and steel eyelets - keep that baldy heed warm!
- Front pouch pocket lined with soft fleece - somewhere warm to put your hands, and your phone, and everything else.
- Ribbed cuffs and hem - the cuffs on cheap hoodies go slack within weeks, these hold their shape.

- Machine washable at 30 degrees, no special care needed.
- WRAP Certified Production - no sweatshops.

Sons Of The SLR Veteran Hoodie For The Ones Who Carried It
You will get beaming smiles from everyone else who knows. The L1A1 7.62 was a proper mans rifle, heavy, honest, and remembered with a strange fondness by everyone who lugged it about. This is an in-joke worn on the chest, and it needs no caption for the people it is aimed at. As a veteran-owned outfit, we know the difference between kit you were issued and kit you actually respected, and the SLR sits firmly in the second camp. You had to have carried one to fully get it, which is exactly why it works. The 280gsm heavyweight build stands up to real weather, worn to the reunion or the range.
The Thinking Behind Sons Of The SLR
Some designs are broad, and some are deliberately narrow. This one is narrow on purpose. It speaks straight to the men who carried the self-loading rifle and lets everyone else wonder, which is the entire appeal. There is no explaining a shared bit of service humour to an outsider. The print is direct-to-garment, so the lettering sits into the fabric sharp and clear rather than on top of it like a transfer that cracks by spring.
Sons Of The SLR Veteran Hoodie That Gets It Right
A piece aimed at old hands has to feel right in the hand. A thin, flimsy top would be an insult to the kit it references, which is why this one is built on a brushed fleece inner face that stays warm wash after wash. It reads as solid and considered, worn to every reunion for years rather than falling apart by the next one.
