The Grey NATO – 294 – From British Special Forces to Running A Clothing Brand, With Anthony “Staz” Stazicker, Co-Founder Of ThruDark

This week’s episode features a chat between Jason and Anthony “Staz” Stazicker, the Co-Founder of ThruDark. After an action-packed career in the British Royal Marines and the British Special Forces, Anthony teamed up with a fellow operator to create a performance-derived apparel brand called ThruDark.

The brand launched in 2018 and makes an array of clothing and accessories for those with active lifestyles following the experiences that Anthony had during his time in the Special Forces community. Jason and Anthony chat about his start in the military, the experiences that lead him to create ThruDark, and some of the lessons that the young brand has learned over the past few years.

From the get-go, the new TGN Shop is now live with a handful of t-shirts for your swag needs and Final Notes will have you digging into the history of an early Film Club selection while you consider the best EDC for your active lifestyle and scope out Jason’s return to the homepage of Hodinkee.
