HISTORY:
Established in the late 1890s, Martin Inc produces the well known Flarico brand of athletic supporters. Eventually adding the BuB line and around 2006 the Activeman line of jockstrap taking the athletic supporter into a new colorful realm.
In the late 1890s Flarico began producing the classic F110 athletic supporter. Why classic? Well go way back in history to the late 1890s, a few years after Bike came out with their famous #10, a manufacturing plant called John B. Flaherty Co. started making the F110 athletic supporter for the military. Twenty years ago, the same family purchased Martin Inc. Mfg and merged the two companies.
By the way, John B. Flaherty is the great great grandfather of the current over of Flarico / Martin Inc.
Unfortunately, Kevin Flaherty closed the business in 2016
