Reigniting the Brotherhood: Black Helmet's Revival

Our Mission

Black Helmet Apparel is the original, iconic brand for firefighter apparel and accessories. Founded in 2008 by a firefighter and a creative visionary, our brand has always stood for the unbreakable bond of the firefighter brotherhood. After years under corporate ownership, Black Helmet was reclaimed in early 2024 by Pedro Sostre, one of its original founders, with a mission to restore it to its former glory and beyond.

Why Invest?

  1. Legacy of Excellence: Our iconic, one of a kind designs have resonated with firefighters for over a decade, establishing a loyal customer base.
  2. A Bold Vision for Growth: We're revitalizing our brand with expanded product lines, strategic partnerships, and a renewed focus on community-driven innovation.
  3. A Brand Owned by Firefighters: We’re making ownership of Black Helmet accessible to all firefighters—and anyone else who believes in our mission. This is a brand built by firefighters, and now it can truly be owned and benefited from by firefighters.

What Makes Us Different?

  • Deep Roots in the Firefighting Community: Black Helmet was born from the experiences of a third-generation firefighter and a passion for authentic storytelling. Our products are more than apparel—they’re a badge of honor.
  • A Strong Comeback Story: After six years under corporate ownership, we are now independent and determined to rebuild stronger than ever.
  • Untapped Potential: With a dedicated following and room for growth, we’re poised to scale rapidly with the right resources.

Traction

  • Community Trust: Tens of thousands of firefighters proudly wear Black Helmet.
  • Brand Recognition: Featured in major firefighter communities and media.
  • Growth-Oriented: We’ve streamlined operations and are ready to expand our reach.

The Opportunity

We are raising funds to:

  • Expand our product offerings to include new apparel, gear, and accessories that further connect with the firefighting community.
  • Pursue strategic partnerships that amplify our reach and impact within the firefighter and first responder communities.
  • Empower firefighters everywhere to share in Black Helmet’s success by becoming owners of the brand they love and represent.
