About Military Outdoor Clothing Inc.
Since 1982, Military Outdoor Clothing Inc. has been a premier global supplier of authentic military surplus and high-performance tactical gear. Founded by David Crouch and Bret Kimmel, our company was born from a deep-rooted history in the garment industry and a passion for durable, functional equipment.
Our history: From Salesmen to Industry Leaders
Our journey began in the early 1980s. As traveling salesmen for the historic Burk MFG in Dallas (est. 1929), we learned the trade from a manufacturer that supplied the U.S. government and famously pioneered "Hip Hugger" pants in the 60s.
What started as a small weekend booth at a local flea market to sell samples quickly evolved:
- 1982: Founded our first 900 sq. ft. retail store, "North Texas Army Navy," in Denton, TX.
- 1991: Transitioned into large-scale distribution with a 26,000 sq. ft. warehouse in Dallas.
- Present: We now operate out of a 100,000 sq. ft. facility on 7.5 acres in Greenville, Texas.
Quality & Innovation
We don’t just source gear; we create it. Our product development is driven by military standards and tactical necessity.
- Manufacturing: We produce a full line of Mil-Spec Battle Dress Uniforms (BDUs), Army Combat Uniforms (ACUs), and heavy-duty duffle bags.
- Diplomat Tactical: Our proprietary tactical clothing and bag brand, Diplomat, is NTOA-tested and has received their highest possible rating for quality and performance.
- X-Camo: Our latest innovation is a unique digital camouflage pattern. Designed with natural tones, X-Camo provides superior concealment across a wide variety of terrains.
