Uniform Donations

Uniform Donation Program

Over the past few years we’ve received an incredible number of inquiries from customers interested in donating old uniforms. We’ve listened to your requests and we’re excited to announce that we have launched a new program that will allow us to recycle these uniforms and incorporate the material into the production of our bags, beginning with the Limited Edition Uniform Tote!

Through the program, uniform donors will have the opportunity to share the legacy of their or a family member's military service by submitting a short bio to be posted on our website.

All uniform donors will also receive 20% OFF their next Sword & Plough purchase!


HERE'S HOW IT WORKS!


Uniforms

You gather the military uniforms that you no longer want and send them to us with a pre-paid shipping label.

Cutting

We sort the uniforms and cut out patterns with the help of one of our local veteran partners.

Sewing

We send the cut surplus to our veteran-owned manufacturing facility in Florida, where the materials are sewn into pockets.

Finished bag

The finished Limited Edition Uniform Tote Bags are sold, and 10% of profits are donated to Comeback Yoga.

Recycling

ANY LEFTOVER UNIFORM SCRAPS ARE DONATED TO GOODWILL AND THE THREADCYCLE PROGRAM WHERE THEY ARE RECYCLED INTO INDUSTRIAL WIPING CLOTHS, SOUND-PROOFING, INSULATION AND MORE.

Can I request a bag with a specific pattern or color pocket material?
