Our Story
What
is ASPHALT ARMY? ASPHALT ARMY is a life-long dream of ours...an apparel
company catering to the automotive crowd. And more specifically to the
lowered car and mini-truck crowd.
My brother and I were into cars
since birth and in the late 80's when we were starting to drive we
obsessed over customizing every car and truck we owned.
At that
time, I was doing automotive event t-shirt artwork as a side gig and we
talked about starting our own line of apparel. Drop Em Wear was the only
real apparel line catering to those of us in the mini-truck scene and
we thought it would be cool to give people another option. But back
then, neither of us had the money or business-sense to really try it so
it lived on in our minds as a pipe dream.
Fast forward
twenty-plus years. We each started attending some car shows here and
there and it was decided...let's give this a try now that we're older
and wiser. During that time, I had kept my head down, honing my
illustration skills and locating solid contacts in the screen
printing/embroidery industry. In 2014, the stars aligned and it was the
perfect time to finally give this dream a try.
Shifting into 2019
(our 5th year), we're striving to provide the best quality, coolest
artwork we can to those of you who live and breath the lowered car and
truck scene. We've got more ideas than time and money, so be patient and
hopefully we'll have something that appeals to everyone at some point.
And
as a side note, we both work full-time jobs in addition to this
business venture so we're trying to hit as many shows as we can squeeze
into our limited schedule. If you can't find us at a show near you...hit
up our website to order and be sure to follow us on Facebook and
Instagram to see all of the latest designs and other news.
We hope to see you at a show soon!
