Indian Motorcycles has brought out a new apparel collection for 2022, honoring our veteran heroes – and with the collection drop, Indian will also be treating a local vet to a list of goodies, thanks to the collaboration with Black Rifle Coffee Company® and Carey Hart.
According to the press release, 100% of the proceeds made with Indian’s 2022 Honoring Heroes Collection between now and November 30th will go to the Jack Daniels® ASYMCA Operation Ride Home – “a program designed to help junior-enlisted service members travel home for the holidays.”
Indian’s support is so strong in this, they’ve also lined up further ways to aid our military. This includes picking Indian employees who have served to be the models for the collection’s media and surprising a local vet with a new Indian Chief/armful of stuffs from brands Rifle Coffee Company® and Carey Hart.
As for the collection herself, Indian has given us 13 new styles for men and women, celebrating the age-old tones of black, camo, and khaki.
Here are the featured vets Indian is honoring in this collection:
