In loving memory of Richard “Peanut” Bennett—our inspiration, our foundation, and the heart behind T.C. 51 Apparel Co.
A servant, a patriot, a man of deep faith, and a legacy worth carrying forward. Peanut walked this life with honor, and today he walks hand in hand with his Savior.
We will continue to honor him with every piece we create.

Today I want to honor a man who meant more to me than words can fully express—my Daddy, Richard “Peanut” Bennett.
Many of you know Peanut as a decorated Vietnam veteran, a lifelong law enforcement officer, a mentor to countless young men in uniform, and the inspiration behind T.C. 51 Apparel Co. His service to this country and to his community is the very foundation of why this company exists.
But to me, he was Daddy.
He was a man who never met a stranger, who genuinely loved people and cared about what mattered to them. He loved his church family and found true joy serving as a greeter at New Home Baptist Church. He loved kids, dogs, and laughter—but more than anything, he loved Jesus.
Daddy often said he was thankful for God’s grace and forgiveness, and his relationship with the Lord only grew stronger with each passing day. Today, he is face to face with the One he loved and served so faithfully.
Scripture says, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” (Matthew 25:23)
If ever a verse fit a man, it fits him.
I am proud to be a child of the King—but I am also incredibly proud to be Peanut’s son.
We will continue to carry his legacy forward through T.C. 51 Apparel Co. Every piece of apparel we produce will honor his life, his service, and his Savior, Jesus Christ. His story will live on, and so will the values he stood for: faith, family, freedom, and service.
I love you, Daddy. Until we meet again.
