A very interesting idea brought to you by Bulwark, one of our leading suppliers of Flame Resistant uniforms!!

Bulwark^® Protective Apparel has taken a dynamic approach to B2B marketing with the release of “451^o”, a stunning and thought provoking film that focuses attention on one simple fact: people are not fireproof.

As the world’s largest manufacturer of flame-resistant apparel for industrial workers, Bulwark wanted to focus attention on the relationship between people and fire, specifically individuals working in hazardous environments such as those in the oil and gas industry, electric utility workers and commercial electricians.

“451^o will surprise many industry observers,” said Stan Jewell, Bulwark General Manager. “Our customers are engaged in serious, sometimes dangerous work. We want them to know that we understand the risks inherent in their work and that Bulwark is committed to developing innovative products and services that increase safety and reduce risk.”

From its inception, Bulwark envisioned the project as one with greater appeal, not only to safety engineers and target industries, but to people in all walks of life. Initial audience reaction has proven that the message strikes the intended chord, reinforcing that life is fragile and, like paper, people can be destroyed in moments.

Interesting and important info...

Gloucester, MA, June 14, 2012 - Since 2006, all passports and many credit cards, debit cards, enhanced drivers licenses, and law enforcement credentials and ID’s contain a RFID (radio frequency identification) chip embedded in them, thus making this information vulnerable to identity theft. Strong Leather Company, realizing this security risk, has been an industry forerunner, using an innovative shielding technology in some of its product linings since 2008.

Strong Leather Company is proud to introduce their new line of “Made in the USA” RFID Shielding Leather Wallets now being offered nationally. The new “RFID” line of stock products has been developed and tested to protect against “identity theft” which is the unauthorized RF (Radio Frequency) scanning (skimming) of personal and departmental information contained in the embedded chip.

The future of Air Force uniforms??

All Dressed Up: Air Force Shows Off Futuristic Prototype Uniforms

Based on feedback received during visits with Airmen across the Air Force, the Air Force Uniform Board is reviewing several concepts that Airmen have suggested regarding the appearance of the service dress uniform.  Some of the informal feedback about the current service dress includes Airmen wanting to revamp the service dress to look more military, like the other services. One senior airman said, “the current uniform resembles a cheesy business suit.”  A staff sergeant said, “think world’s most dominating air power, not CEO,” and another described it as a “cheap leisure suit.”  Other comments have suggested that the uniform needs to reflect the Air Force’s history more. On an Internet message board an Airman recently wrote, “I want to look good and be proud of my AF heritage.” Another Airman wrote that the dress uniform pales in comparison to any of the other services. "We need something that distinguishes us as proud members of the U.S. military.”  The Air Force began exploring these ideas by producing several prototypes that reflect a combination of ideas that have been gleaned from comments, suggestions and informal surveys conducted over the past several years.  To read the full article, click here.

Today we are profiling the Weinbrenner shoe company and their amazing history!  Read on...


Weinbrenner Shoe Company Celebrates 120 years of “Made in America”

MERRILL, WI, June 8, 2012—If you could walk a mile in our shoes you’d see that they follow the footprints of hard working folks who believe in making exceptional shoes and boots, right here in the USA. You’d also find a path stretching back 120 years to Water Street in Milwaukee where Albert H. Weinbrenner started making his first pair of shoes.

In 1892, 27 year-old Weinbrenner, the son of a cobbler, and his business partner opened a shop and later started manufacturing shoes. They grew to become industry leaders by using tools, techniques and methods exclusive to their production. By 1916 they were producing 20,000 pairs daily of men’s and boy’s shoes.


The Thorogood brand debuted in 1918 and thrust Weinbrenner into mass markets across the country with branches opening in major cities including New York, Chicago, Atlanta and San Francisco. The decades to follow would bring new products, new partnerships, consolidations, market opportunities and leadership transitions. Patents were developed and production supplied trends in shoes and boots for work, military, sport, casual, youth and men’s footwear. Quality and American manufacturing remained steadfast through it all.
