As avid gamers and big Sci-Fi fans ourselves, we have looked for fan merchandise over the years. Our main problem always was however that we could never find a piece of clothing that ticked all 3 of the requirends that we had: A design we liked, good quality and durability and a good fit. Most products would fit at least 1 or 2 of these requirements but rarely would all 3 of our requirements be met. This is where working with Anthrax comes in: in the past they had sponsored us in sports and even after this sponsorship ended, we even bought their products as the quality was just incomparable to other brands. This level of quality combined with the knowledge that they can print the entire fabric gave us the idea to do fan Merchandise ourselves and fill a gap we felt the market had. 

But as we started setting up Hangar 58 as a company we had to think about what kind of company we wanted to be. Having gotten a bad taste of the greed of some companies out there, it was really important for us to not just tick the 3 boxes that in our opinion make a great product, we also wanted to be a different kind of company and make a difference even. Anthrax themselves already have a Zero Waste commitment which is yet another reason for us to work with them but they, like us, are comitted to paying every one working for them a fair and living wage. Additionally we, Hangar 58, are also comitting to planting 1 tree for every succesful order we recieve.
