About Us
We’re Mike and Haley Lochner, the proud owners of a family-run business that started in our home office and a garage-turned-workshop. As a couple from Kankakee (Haley) and Manteno (Mike), we’ve always valued community, hard work, and genuine connections. Mike’s journey includes serving in the Army National Guard as a Military Police Officer, followed by a career as a High Voltage Electrical Operator. While our paths took unexpected turns, we found our true calling in designing and producing high-quality, customized hats, apparel, and promotional products that help people proudly represent their teams, businesses, and causes.
After struggling to find dependable off-road apparel for our own lifestyle brand, we bought a small desktop laser. That single step quickly became a big leap into filling a gap in the market purchasing industrial laser units, apparel decoration equipment, and sewing machines—and in the process, discovering a passion for crafting unique, eye-catching designs. We’re determined to grow this venture with the same dedication Mike learned in the Army and the strong family values that guide everything we do.
