the dishonesty of some businessman
IS THIS TRUE ABOUT BUSINESSMEN? But First a new testimonial.Jerry, I've been reading the success stories you've been sending out but I don't see enough about the parkas. Since moving to northern Illinois I tried all of the standard brands people wear, mostly Columbia and their Omni heat system. It never really worked for me. So for this winter [...]
a learning experience
WHEN WILL THEY EVER LEARN?TESTIMONIALI absolutely love these sleeping bags. I got my first Wiggy’s bag at the mcss on ledward barracks in Germany.

Unfortunately someone [...]
The DUCKSBACK Pullover is Here!
Sleeping Bag Testimonial & Other Thoughts Hello, I have been wearing your Lamilite boots since mid-September and I am convinced that they are everything you claim them to be.

I washed the top, put it on wet along with a heavy and dripping wet flannel shirt (almost a light jacket weight, put my Ventile jacket over, and headed [...]
Introducing the New DUCKSBACK Fabric!
The new fabric sheds water exactly like water running down a ducks back. Therefore the name of the line is DUCKSBACK by Wiggy’s.Since I received the sample yardage I have done some testing to make sure the material works as I have discovered with my rain coat and it does work that way. The first garment will be [...]
reconfirming knowledge
RECONFIRMING WHAT I ALREADY KNEW!!!Yesterday (Saturday) when I left my office I noticed one block from my factory in a strip mall a Redwing shoe store. I stopped and went in, inquiring when it opened, to my shock 16 months ago. How I missed it I just don’t know but I did. I am sure this store is owned by [...]
