Dixxon Flannel Co. is announcing its newest limited flannel line.
To honor and celebrate the 80th anniversary of the flag raisers of Iwo Jima, Dixxon has dropped its “First to Fight” flannel, according to a press release.
On Feb. 23, 1945, six Marine Corps members achieved immortal fame as the flag raisers in the iconic World War II photograph taken on Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima, a small island in the Western Pacific.
In the image, a local Arizona hero, the Gila River nation’s Ira Hayes, can be seen at the far left, his hands reaching up toward the flagpole. Three of the six men featured in the photo were killed in action shortly after the photo was taken.
Inspired by the courage of the six flag raisers, Dixxon’s ‘First to Fight’ flannel features a black, gold and red colorway, reminiscent of the designated colors of the Marine Corps. A classic Dixxon removable sticker tag depicts the photograph of the brave flag raisers of Iwo Jima.
Dixxon Flannel Co. is a Tempe, Arizona-based apparel company specializing in high-quality flannel shirts and lifestyle clothing. Inspired by motorcycle, skate, and punk rock cultures, Dixxon has built a reputation for durable, comfortable garments with classic style and modern functionality.
