SOME GOOD NEWS
On Saturday Kok and I were reviewing materials in our warehouse for a large order we had received for the military.
What I learned that day was that we had a substantial amount of black Supplex, way more than I thought we had.
As a result of the find I have lowered the prices of the Supplex Antarctic parka to $325.00 and the Supplex Barren grounds parka to $225.00. The only color I saw was black.
I was very surprised when I saw these rolls of the Supplex so we will be able to make a lot of jackets,
Today I received a very substantial order for sleeping bags [all Antarctic bags], parkas, mittens, underwear etc.
I spoke with the customer, and he told me he wanted to be prepared for several potential disruptions since he has a young family. Over the years I have received orders for basically the same reason.
I guess it is something to consider.
Cold Weather Parkas
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 [...]
The small things...
Sometimes there are small things that enter your life that are enjoyable. As I have written, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in May 2019 and then had shingles in September 2019. The shingles on my forehead caused me to shave my head. Up until then I had straight hair. 7 or 8 months ago I [...]
odds and ends
ODDS AND ENDS Estella has been surfacing odds and ends. I will be posing these items as a weed through them. The first 3 on the list are as follows. 1- ALASKA RANGE PARKA COLOR MAROON THAT IS PERMANENTLY INSULATED, EXTRA LARGE. How this came to be I have no idea. It might have been a custom item returned. The [...]
New Offering
For several years, I have been asked by hunters for international orange garments. I was left with several hundred yards of a 200-denier Oxford nylon fabric. I have decided to offer three items in the international orange color: the Antarctic parka for $400.00, the vest shown on the website as a nomex vest, but the price is the same [...]
a history lesson
A HISTORY LESSON The following took place in the 1960’s. “Despite this prosperity, major shifts were occurring in American business and the workforce. Preexisting corporations were merging and becoming larger, more powerful conglomerates. Consumers increasingly were doing their shopping at discount chain stores and dining at inexpensive fast-food restaurants, leading to a decrease in the number of [...]

After you have reviewed the list, if you want one or more items, please send me an email with your name, address, and phone number and I will call [...]
FICTION
AN ARTICLE FILLED WITH FICTIOUS AND ERRONEOUS INFORMATION A pair of Cadense Energy BOOST Performance Socks in Natural Black. The socks feature CELLIANT® technology developed by Hologenix that converts body heat into infrared energy, providing gentle compression that improves local circulation and quickens muscle recovery. Celliant is a product I have written about in the past, but like [...]
The World is Changing
The first comment I will make is that the USA, the country I was born into in 1941 at the start of World War two, is not the same country I am living in today nor has it been for quite a while. Having said that I want you to know that I have decided to [...]
effusivity
Outlast’s new testing technology proves cooling boost for brands, “except it is a deceptive lie!!!” I added the extracomment. 19/03/2025 Temperature regulation solutions provider Outlast Technologies [outlast has no solution to accomplish temperature regulation] has published results of testing that show by adding its technologies to fabrics,[which is micro encapsulated paraffin balls] effusivity [in all of my years [...]
