About Loyal Army

With a San Francisco based production facility in place, a well thought out marketing plan and hundreds of ideas for graphics, Loyal Army was launched and has since expanded with development into the Infant, Toddler and Girls 7-16 apparel categories, designing and producing t-shirts, hoodies, fashion knit bodies and an assortment of canvas accessories.
