The K-Factor Supply Co. Story

I’m Robert P., a recently retired US Air Force Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) technician with 24 years of service. Alongside my wife, Lauren, we built K-Factor Supply Co. as a brand rooted in the Military EOD and Public Safety Bomb Technician community — gear for bomb techs, by bomb techs.

It all started with a small EOD-themed collection for our first brand, an outdoor apparel store called Tavern and Trail, which we launched in 2022. As that original "K-Factor Collection" grew, so did the community around it. By July 2025, we could no longer deny it was time to give it a home of its own, and so K-Factor Supply Co. was born.

What's in a Name?

The name K-Factor Supply Co. alludes to the calculation for safe blast standoff distance, but for us, it also represents balance — between risk and precision, discipline and creativity. We carried the EOD mindset of Improvise, Adapt, and Overcome into our new mission of building this brand. It guides how we design, build, and run our business every day.

From apparel to wall art, stickers, and gear, we design every item with the same pride, innovation, and hard work that defined our time in uniform.

POD for EOD

Although we may eventually bring some production in-house, our primary business model is Print-on-Demand — and we’re proud of it. It allows us to innovate fast, offer a wide range of products, and keep our focus where it matters: design, quality, and community.

Every item we sell is printed to order using carefully selected production partners who meet our standards for consistency, craftsmanship, and reliability. This approach cuts waste, keeps inventory lean, and ensures each piece is made specifically for the person who ordered it — not pulled from a warehouse shelf.

We inspect, test, and refine every product we release, and if something ever falls short, we make it right. That’s our guarantee. Print-on-Demand keeps us nimble, responsive, and always ready to adapt.

Still Proud to Serve

Service doesn’t end when the bomb suit comes off. At K-Factor Supply Co., giving back to the EOD and Public Safety Bomb Technician community is central to who we are and why we exist. We’re proud to support organizations like the EOD Warrior Foundation and After the Long Walk — groups that stand shoulder to shoulder with our brothers, sisters, and their families long after the mission is over.

With our dedicated After the Long Walk Collection, 100% of profits are donated directly to ATLW to help fund peer mentorship, suicide prevention, and wellness programs that help keep our community connected and supported.

TVC Certified

We’re proud to be a Texas Veteran Commission Certified Veteran-Owned Small Business — a title that reflects both our service and our standards. That same sense of duty shows up in everything we do, from how we treat our customers to how we design and build our gear.

Every K-Factor product is designed and printed here in the USA, using premium materials and trusted partners that meet our quality expectations.

Thanks for supporting a veteran-owned brand that values craftsmanship, character, and gear built to last.
