Ukrainian veterans Andriy and Mykhailo craft Saint Javelin's recycled war parts from warm shell casings collected directly from the battlefield. With proceeds supporting Ukraine's Armed Forces, the war part products transform the metal of war into ongoing support for frontline defenders.

From day one, we've been committed to making sure everything we do supports Ukrainian people and businesses. This felt like a natural extension of that mission.

Our fleeces use the same Polartec® Thermal Pro® technology that keeps Ukrainian defenders warm in brutal conditions. When we thought about donating these to kids who've been through hell, it made sense. If it's good enough for soldiers, it's definitely good enough to provide real comfort to children who need it.

This is our evolution. We started as a simple sticker campaign and we’ve evolved so much. Ultimately, I want us to stick around long term and become a brand like Patagonia, or Fjallraven, or Cotopaxi, but for us, the key difference is that I want to make sure that absolutely everything we create is made in Ukraine and supports local Ukrainian manufacturing, businesses and their people.

We took some of your all-time favorite print-on-demand designs and reimagined them with our Ukrainian manufacturing partners. One of our most iconic designs is the Tryzub, Ukraine’s trident — a symbol of strength, sovereignty, and pride.

Learn more about the remarkable couple featured in our recent release — a special slingpack developed in collaboration with the Donetsk-born, Kyiv-based brand keep®.

By purchasing these items, you're not just supporting Ukrainian veterans—you're becoming part of a powerful story of hope and healing. Together, we're turning the scars of war into symbols of peace, one shell casing at a time.

The 3,000 pairs of socks donated to the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine (ГУР) mark a significant milestone in our effort to support Ukraine’s defenders. Previously, our donations have reached frontline paramedics in Donetsk, who work in towns under relentless shelling. Now, this latest shipment ensures that even more soldiers will benefit from the warmth, comfort, and protection that merino wool provides.

In this blog post, our founder Christian Borys shares the journey of creating the Defender Polartec® 1/4 Zip Fleece—a mission-driven product made entirely in Ukraine, designed to withstand the toughest conditions. From ditching "print on demand" to producing world-class gear in the midst of conflict, we took the hard road to deliver something meaningful. Inspired by the feedback of Ukrainian soldiers and crafted with Polartec® Thermal Pro® technology, this fleece isn’t just about warmth and durability; it’s about purpose, resilience, and honoring those who inspire us every day.

From day one, Saint Javelin has been about sharing the voices of Ukraine’s defenders, and honoring the resilience and stories of those who risk their lives daily. For our 2024 Defender Collection, we’re bringing forward stories of courage directly from the front lines. 

This year, we had the privilege of speaking with Iordan Konstantinidi, a 27-year-old combat medic serving in the 82th Separate Assault Brigade. His shift, from a vibrant life in Odesa to the realities of wartime, illustrates the resilience of Ukraine’s defenders.

As we present this year’s Defender Collection, we bring you voices from the front lines that reflect the resilience, courage, and dedication of Ukraine’s defenders. This year, we’re honored to share the story of Daria, known by her call sign "Hilka," a lieutenant in the National Guard and a pilot of combat drones. Her story offers a clear-eyed view of the war and serves as a reminder of why the world cannot turn away from Ukraine’s fight.

Our founder Christian shares insights from a recent trip to Ukraine. From visiting manufacturing partners across the country to collaborating with Ukrainian shipping giants like Nova Poshta, this blog post offers a glimpse into the heart of Saint Javelin’s mission: supporting Ukraine while producing high-quality gear inspired by defenders.

When we asked Oleh to create a design for us, he reimagined the iconic Saint Javelin image in his distinctive style. He requested photos that represent what Saint Javelin stands for and the powerful community behind it. From there, he began crafting the artwork that now appears on The Anthology of Saint Javelin t-shirts. Let us guide you through the design elements and the hidden symbols woven into this unique piece.

In this interview with Oleksii Vykhrenko, known by his callsign "Yogurt," a cook of the 47th Separate Mechanised Brigade Magura, we delve into the profound commitment and unwavering dedication that drive him to prepare meals for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Now that it’s October and the summer looks like it’s actually over, it’s time for the sun to set on our Crimea Beach Party campaign for this year. Let’s recap what we achieved this summer with the Crimea Beach Party.

In our new interview series, we aim to highlight the personal stories of people who suffered from the Russian aggression and continue to fight it in different ways. Read the story of Liia, a 21-year-old Crimean activist and volunteer.

The Independence Lifeline fundraiser, organized by the Unite with Ukraine initiative by the Ukrainian World Congress and supported by Saint Javelin, generated $103,121 in 7 days. All funds raised will be used to supply Ukrainian defenders and paramedics with Quality Tactical medical supplies.

In May 2023, to bring attention to the brave Azovstal defenders who still remain in Russian captivity, we launched a limited-edition sale of ‘Our Lady of Mariupol’ illustration by the Ukrainian artist Maksym Palenko. Since then, we have donated $18,808 to the Azovstal Defender’s Families fund.

At the beginning of 2023, we set an ambitious goal – to start gradually moving our manufacturing to Ukraine. Learn how Saint Javelin is making a difference with Crimea Beach Party collection by working with local manufacturers.

Now that you’ve picked your Crimea Beach Party outfits from our collection, let us walk you through how your purchases will help to support Ukrainian defenders as they liberate Ukraine’s territories.

From a single comment in the group chat to a social media sensation, culminating in a proudly Ukrainian-produced collection. Our Founder, Christian Borys, recalls how Saint Javelin came up with the idea of the Crimea Beach Party.

In March 2023, Saint Javelin made another round of contributions to support Ukraine's fight for sovereignty and territorial integrity. Here is a complete breakdown of what happened.
