Licensing Agreement Signed with Fashion Apparel Company
WASHINGTON — Neither snow, nor rain nor gloom of night has taken on a different meaning at the U.S. Postal Service with plans to launch a new product line of apparel and accessories under the brand name, “Rain Heat & Snow.”
The Postal Service’s unofficial motto, “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stay these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds,” serves as a backdrop for a licensing agreement the organization has signed with Cleveland-based fashion apparel company Wahconah Group, Inc. The agreement leverages Postal Service intellectual property by introducing the Rain Heat & Snow brand of apparel and accessory products.
“This agreement will put the Postal Service on the cutting edge of functional fashion,” said Postal Service Corporate Licensing Manager Steven Mills. “The main focus will be to produce Rain Heat & Snow apparel and accessories using technology to create ‘smart apparel’ — also known as wearable electronics.”
“The Wahconah Group is excited to be working with the U.S. Postal Service in launching this all-weather line of clothing,” said Chief Executive Officer Isaac Crawford. “The products will build on the rich American history of this iconic brand, creating specialized apparel for consumers, at affordable prices, delivering something new and exciting that retailers can offer their customers.”
Wahconah Group, Inc. is a minority-owned company based in Cleveland, OH, with extensive experience in the fashion apparel industry. The firm designs, sources, manufactures and sells apparel with a focus on the men’s apparel market. The company is establishing a showroom in the garment district of New York City to showcase their apparel lines to the fashion industry.
Under the licensing agreement with the Postal Service, Wahconah will initially introduce Rain Heat & Snow apparel and accessories for men with future plans for a women’s line. The goal is to sell this product in premier department and specialty stores.
Might is right.
I was planning to replace all my clothes with this snappy line. But I was lied to again.
I’ll wear whatever you want me to wear Mon-Fri. WE WANT WEEKENDS OFF!!
And there it is:
“Wahconah Group, Inc. is a minority-owned company…”
Geez!! I wonder what they pay their advertising staff?? Lately I notice a whole bunch of t.v. commercials etc. This has to be costing lots of money. What is really new ….certainly not priority boxes, or forever stamps that keep changing.
Just another way in which to waste money… Hey if we have no money, then why are we wasting money getting involved with this.. what a bunch of total F’n idiots !!!!!
I hope they make them with shock collars for supervisors.
I still got some time before i retire, lets try it i need a good laugh in the mornings when i open the lobby:)!
Headquarters keeps bending us over so it is time to introduce or own line of condoms to compliment the new Heat, Rain and Snow line of dickies. Mr. PMG can you say desperate?
With all the financial problems the postal service has the postal service has obviiously paid some knucklehead at headquarters to work on this useless product of postal service clothes. You have got to be kidding me. Oh, I do work for the postal service.
