COMPANY HISTORY Originally started in 2008 as a “little sewing project” from a good friend of John’s named Levi Person, who was looking to have a pair of Sandana pants cut up and sewn into headbands as I was currently working on other headbands and selling them online. It pretty much evolved from there, had some more custom orders from friends of mine and Levi’s. The company really started gaining traction in mid 2013 when Facebook became the main source for online paintball buy/sell/trade groups over conventional paintball based forums. In the fall of 2013 Levi and John purchased a large amount of Sandana Sabotage pants and started cutting them up to help fund John’s upcoming wedding. From there the company continued to gain a following of loyal customers. In November of 2015 the company was featured on the homepage of PBNation for the announcement of our www.paintball.media 061
