Bowler's

Founded by professional bowler, Bill Von Henkle in 1945, Bowler's Shirt & Uniform was an originator of better designed garments for athletes. Comfort, flexibility, and breathability, was achieved through use of modern materials and improved custom designed garment patterns.

In the 1960s, Bill's son, Rick, brought Bowler's into a new age by matching their comfortable design with the hard-wearing needs of motorsport racing teams. Shelby American developed a close business relationship with Bowler’s as the team’s apparel supplier from 1964-1968. As a result, Bowlers also became the official clothing supplier to Ford and Shelby for Daytona, Sebring, LeMans 24 hour race, and for many other teams throughout the 1960s. 

Simultaneously, Bowler's developed a market for fire retardant Nomex flight suits manufactured for the aviation industry, as well as NASA, the US Navy, and the Blue Angels.

Today, Bowler's Shirt & Uniform continues through a partnership with the Von Henkel family and Luna Replicas. We strive to maintain the original tradition of style, durability, and comfortability for every adventure, fast or slow, and pay honor to the teams who wore our uniforms throughout history.
