Hanes
Authorized Dealer
Hanes has been making America's everyday wardrobe essentials since 1900 — a Winston-Salem, North Carolina institution that grew from a knitting mill into one of the most recognized apparel names in the country. At Keep Shooting, the Hanes line covers the workhorse basics every shooter and outdoorsman keeps in the rotation: heavyweight Beefy-T cotton tees, Cool DRI moisture-wicking performance shirts, EcoSmart cotton-blend polos and fleece, ComfortBlend hoodies, sweatpants, athletic shorts, and multi-pack underwear — built for value, comfort, and the kind of durability that survives the wash pile.
About Hanes
Hanes is one of America's oldest and most recognized apparel brands, founded in 1900 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and still headquartered there more than 125 years later. What began as a pair of family knitting mills — John Wesley Hanes's hosiery operation and the P.H. Hanes Knitting Company making men's underwear — grew into the everyday-basics powerhouse behind the Beefy-T, the tagless tee, and the cotton essentials found in closets across the country. At Keep Shooting, the Hanes line covers the durable, no-nonsense basics that anchor a working wardrobe: t-shirts, polo shirts, hoodies, sweatpants, shorts, and underwear.
The Hanes story runs through more than a century of American manufacturing. John Wesley Hanes opened a knitting mill in 1900 (later Hanes Hosiery Mills, which became the world's largest producer of women's seamless nylon hosiery), and in 1902 Pleasant Henderson Hanes and his sons launched the P.H. Hanes Knitting Company to make men's and boys' underwear. The two family businesses merged into the Hanes Corporation in 1965, joined Consolidated Foods — later Sara Lee Corporation — in 1979, and in 2006 were spun off as the independent, publicly traded Hanesbrands Inc., still based in Winston-Salem. Along the way Hanes became a household name on the strength of its innovations: the heavyweight Beefy-T cotton tee that debuted in the mid-1970s, the tagless comfort label, and a string of fabric technologies — ComfortBlend, EcoSmart, Cool DRI, X-Temp, and FreshIQ — that still define the line today.
On the shirt side, the Hanes catalog at Keep Shooting leads with the Beefy-T, the 6.1 oz heavyweight cotton benchmark in single colors like gray and deep royal, plus a white 2-pack for stocking up. The 5250 Authentic 100% Cotton tee in fatigue green covers the military-cut wardrobe, the Essentials long-sleeve 2-packs in black and gray handle cold-weather base layering, and the HiViz Cool DRI performance long-sleeve tee brings ANSI-visibility safety color to the moisture-wicking polyester line for hunters and outdoor workers.
The EcoSmart polos are the everyday collared option — a cotton-blend jersey with recycled polyester content at the most accessible price in the polo catalog, offered in black, navy blue, forest green, white, and purple. For cold weather, the fleece bench runs the Ultimate heavyweight cotton pullover hoodie and the ComfortBlend EcoSmart full-zip hoodie in black and gray. Rounding out the line: EcoSmart sweatpants, Sport mesh pocket shorts, and the knit boxers 6-pack for restocking the basics drawer.
Keep Shooting carries the Hanes line for the same reason it stocks dependable surplus and tactical gear: it does the job without the markup. The Hanes basics pair naturally with the broader shirts catalog and the comparable Champion athletic-basics line, and for shooters who want a military-cut or tactical upgrade over a cotton basic, the Rothco and Mil-Tec apparel lines step up from the Hanes value tier. Every Hanes order ships with fast delivery, easy returns, and our satisfaction guarantee.
