custom-made veteran vests

Bass Pro Shops has a longstanding commitment to hiring veterans, and nearly 10 percent of our team members are veterans. We are honored to call every veteran part of our outdoor family and we’re committed to providing them with ongoing support, resources and leadership development.

Every Outfitter who is a veteran is given the opportunity to request a Proud Veteran Outfitter vest. These custom-made vests will feature your name and your branch of service, and can be worn over your existing Bass Pro Shops or Cabela’s shirt or uniform.

vest Wear guidelines

Your Proud Veteran Outfitter vest is meant to recognize and celebrate your service to our country. You may choose when you wear your vest. We encourage our Veteran Outfitters to wear their vests at company events and during the weeks of Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day and Veterans Day.

4. Should not be worn outside of work.
