Cry-Dry® coatings now standard on their scarves, bandanas, and wraps blot crocodile tears noiselessly, keeping your location safe and your position on most things left for others to guess.

The low nap of the suede-like shell of Go-Ballistic® Nylon featured on their new windbreakers have been tested to resist burs, seeds of change, clingy sycophants, or stinging rebukes. Crack-the-Whipcord® is a durable twill which, when worn in the workplace, subtly insists workers into higher productivity, without confrontation or insult. New!
