Propper International is a retail apparel and gear company with a history as a contract manufacturer for the U.S. Department of Defense, dating back to 1967 when it produced the Dixie Cup hat for Navy sailors. It has supplied more than 120 million garments to the DoD, law enforcement, and public safety communities, reflecting its long-standing involvement with government and security sectors. The company combines retail branding with a contract-manufacturing mindset, emphasizing features, quality, and demonstrable value as the basis for contracts rather than lifestyle marketing. Based in St. Charles, Missouri, Propper serves both public-sector and civilian markets within the retail apparel and fashion industry. It continues to draw on its DoD heritage in its operations, prioritizing durable, functional garments and a focus on concrete performance. In 2021 Propper launched a GSA-compliant A2CU two-piece flight suit on Propper.com to meet growing demand from U.S. military service members.
