Helikon-Tex in films and TV series

6 min. reading

Pop culture significantly influences trends and product popularity. Sometimes, brands and items appear in movies and TV shows due to their unique look or ability to enhance production professionalism. Our brand, Helikon-Tex, is gaining recognition in film, television, and video games. Below, we present a list of Helikon-Tex products in selected movies and TV series. We’ll continue to add more productions to compile all titles featuring our products in one place. 

Movies: tactical clothing in action films and beyond

For years, cinema has stirred emotions, and the presence of real brands and products familiar to everyday life adds realism to films. James Dean popularized the white T-shirt in “Rebel without a cause,” while the M65 jacket gained popularity thanks to the cult classic “Taxi Driver.” We’re not falling behind, and our products have been seen in action on the big screen for years.
