The situation that is unfolding at this time with respect to outerwear imports, specifically parkas for cold weather wear, has led me to bring back the Barren Grounds Parka made with both whatever we have left of Ducksback material and our inventory of Supplex.
In addition, I am now offering the Antarctic parka in Supplex as well.
You will find these items on the website to order.
The Barren Grounds parka in Ducksback is $270.00 and in Supplex is $240.00.
The Antarctic parka is $400.00 in Ducksback and $350.00 in Supplex.
For years, people have been buying imported parkas costing less than Wiggy’s and, of course, got less. Now those same parkas will cost a lot more. Wiggy’s parkas price hasn’t changed, so it will be a bargain. Of course, Wiggy parkas will keep you warm.
This situation is making it desirable for Wiggy’s to get back into the outerwear manufacturing business. Keep in mind, we still custom-make these garments so they are not on the shelf to pull off and send out.
If there is any company out there wanting to buy the Lamilite so you too can make the warmest parkas in the world, call me.
Trust me, what I am doing isn't going to make the slightest dent in the marketplace for winter parkas.
