The Tip is 'Ask family & friends' After reading the Big Secret I began to ask my family and friends about Made in USA products. It amazed me how many of them were already thinking about the subject. After asking the question all of us began to exchange useful information about where to buy Made in USA products. This was a huge help and now my entire family bring me containers with the Made in USA label on them. I record this information for us by Submitting our Secret to Made in America Secrets. Now we won't forget and next time we already know where to buy. Looking is now a family experience and our friends too are involved. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Fast Company Draggin Jeans Hal Baxter founded Fast Company in 1993 and shortly began marketing his new invention, Draggin' Jeans. The now famous image of Hal dragging behind a pick-up truck comes from his early R&D work with Draggin' Jeans. Unsatisfied with the sandbags he initially employed to test his new invention, Hal put his ass on the line, literally. Only a genuine body provides realistic weight distribution for testing seam strength and wear to pressure points. After several revisions, Draggin' Jeans were born. Hal's eureka! moment came one Sunday afternoon in the midst of a sweltering ride. Hal and a friend stopped for some ice cream to cool down. While waiting in line in some very colorful racing leathers, a small boy gazed transfixed at the pair of motorcyclists. After a few moments of silent contemplation the boy turned and yelled Hey, Mama! Look at the clowns! Hal decided there must be a better way. He developed Draggin' Jeans as an alternative to hot, bulky, unfashionable leathers. Draggin' Jeans are perfect for those times when leather is too much of a hassle. Draggin' Jeans are lined with Kevlar?. Kevlar? is one of the toughest, strongest materials in existence and is used for a variety of applications that require high strength-to-weight ratios (bullet-proof vests, aerospace construction, driver's helmets, etc.). Five times stronger than steel yet soft and pliable, Kevlar? fabric lines the knees and seat of our jeans, providing superior protection where the motorcycle rider most needs it. |
