Who are we?

Jeremy Denton, Sr.
Owner and CEO

My name is Jeremy, and I am one of the two co-founders of Ma Deuce Apparel Company. Like many of our customers, I served in the military. I spent 8 years in the US Army working my way up to E-6. I spent time in Ft Drum NY, Ft Lewis WA, and a year in Korea. Being part of the 10th Mountain Division gave me a chance to see the world through operations Uphold Democracy, Joint Guard and Enduring Freedom as well as numerous foreign training deployments. The co-founder of Ma Deuce is my wife, Salone. Between us, we have had five children grace our lives in our blended family. We look forward to someday having grandchildren added to the mix.

Salone “Sunny” Denton
Owner and VP

Hello! My name is Salone, but I more often answer to Sunny, a nickname I received when I was a teenager. Unlike my husband, I have spent no time in the military. I do, however, have a strong appreciation for our military and first responders. I am proud to live in a Country that allows us our freedom, and this is due to men and women that protect us every day. I will admit, I did not think much of my husband’s business idea at first but as time went on and he would strike up conversations with veterans everywhere we went, I came to see and understand that there was an opportunity here. After many discussions we decided to jump in and fill that missing piece for our service men and women. I look forward to collaborating with you!

What made us start Ma Deuce Apparel Co?

For years I have been searching for just that right shirt or hoodie that represented the pride I have in my service to the nation. It could not be just any shirt. It had to stand out. It had to stand tall. I can find an Army shirt or a 10th Mountain shirt all day long. What I could not find was a shirt that also highlighted my individual unit, the piece that is so dear to my heart. Of course, I could have custom ordered a shirt and dropped $70-$80 bucks…for one shirt! I kept telling my wife how absurd it was that what I wanted didn’t exist until finally I had had enough. I stood up and told my wife that if I couldn’t find what I was looking for, we were going to create it ourselves. She promptly told me to sit down. Many conversations later and many more with innocent veteran bystanders in numerous stores, my wife started to see the same thing I had been saying all along; a single website did not exist for the military nor first responders to get a shirt that they could display what means so much to them. The name of the company was easy. The affectionate nickname of the Browning 50 caliber machine gun is the Ma Deuce (M2). It is the longest continually serving weapon system in the US military across all branches. They say that the last 50 cal. gunner has yet to be born! With that kind of history spanning every branch of the military, we couldn’t think of a more fitting name for a company that honors the men and women who sacrifice so much for or nation.
