1925 Apparel is a tribute to the global culture of martial arts and the discipline that shapes every practitioner. The brand draws inspiration from one hundred years of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu while honoring the entire lineage of combat arts that came before and continue to evolve today. Jiu Jitsu, Judo, Muay Thai, Karate, Wrestling, Sambo, and more. All paths of mastery. All part of the story.

The creatives behind 1925 Apparel are veteran designers and artists who understand movement, geometry, symbolism, and the visual rhythm of martial culture. Their combined experience in branding, high fashion, illustration, and editorial design brings a sense of precision to every piece. Craftsmanship is the foundation. Respect is the standard.

Yet technical skill is only one part of the brand’s identity. What truly drives 1925 Apparel is a deep respect for the values that martial arts teach. Discipline. Humility. Pressure management. Perseverance. Calm in chaos. These lessons shape fighters and everyday people alike. The artists bring this philosophy into the work with intention and reverence.

Every piece created under 1925 Apparel is more than apparel. It is a reflection of the spirit that unites martial artists across disciplines and cultures. It is a tribute to lineage and a celebration of the fighters who carry that lineage forward. The mission is clear. Honor the past. Respect the present. Inspire the next generation to pursue mastery with integrity and purpose.

Honoring the Legacy That Fuels Our Fire

1925 Apparel Co., Faith On Fire Supply Co., and Kickin' Brass stand on the shoulders of two remarkable men: Ernani Pires (1944-2019), and Alexandre Pires (1978 to 2021). Their legacy of faith, strength, patriotism, and devotion to God, family, and America continues to shape everything we do.

These brands exist in tribute to their lives and the values they lived. Every design carries a piece of their spirit. Resilience. Conviction. Courage. Honor. Through our work, their influence lives on, inspiring the next generation to stand firm, live boldly, and walk with purpose.
