FRESH & FLOWING
In the fire service, trust isn’t given — it’s earned. For nearly 50 years, Mercedes Textiles has built hose that firefighters can count on. What sets us apart isn’t gimmicks or shortcuts. It’s a commitment to values that don’t change...
Listen... IOHO, Santa is the OG senior man – He puts in the work stayin' salty all year. Even in the sweltering summer heat, he's stretchin' lines, keeping cool by gettin' out to flow. Now it's your turn... Gear up with our Christmas in July Salty Santa swag! And yes, we actually made a Hawaiian shirt pattern... Live a little! Aaaand we put that pattern on swim trunks, flip flops, and towels... Just goin' with the flow over here.
