Sunday, November 4th, 2007

It’s hard to believe it’s that time of year again but the temperatures are dropping and it has already snowed on the rock pile, Mount Washington. So what does that mean? It means the arrival of Mad Bomber hats. The Mad Bomber hat is the warmest hat there is so if you’re going to be running the Ididarod or just shoveling the snow off your driveway you need a Mad Bomber fur hat. The Mad Bomber is available in a wide array of fabrics and colors. There’s the Mossy Oak Mad Bomber for the hunter in your life, the pink Mad Bomber for the young lady, brown duck cloth Mad Bomber for the conservative dresser and new this year is the olive and black tweed Mad Bomber for the fashion conscious to name just a few.

From the company’s web site here’s some background info about Mad Bomber:

The Mad Bomber® Company is outerwear manufacturer creating unique products that combine natural resources with innovative high-tech fabrics.

The name “Mad Bomber®” was coined during our president.s unstable ski-jumping career. Trading in China since 1978 Mad Bomber® is the original and the world.s largest “Bomber®” hat manufacturer. Moving materials between Europe, America, and China we have truly become a multi-national company coordinating worldwide operations and promoting cooperation amongst diverse cultures.

Authentic Harris Tweed Caps

Thursday, November 1st, 2007
    NEW ARRIVAL ALERT!

Just today we received our first shipment of authentic Harris Tweed caps. These caps are made of Harris Tweed from Scotland and then made into caps here in the USA by a small factory that’s been sewing caps for nearly 50 years. We currently have three patterns of Ivy caps and the same three patterns in a Newsboy or 8 Quarter cap style are due in the next two weeks.

For more on authentic Harris Tweed here’s some info from The Harris Tweed Authority:

Harris Tweed is cloth that has been handwoven by the islanders of Lewis, Harris, Uist and Barra in their homes, using pure virgin wool that has been dyed and spun in the Outer Hebrides.

This is the definition of Harris Tweed contained in the Harris Tweed Act of 1993 and it ensures that all cloth certified with the Harris Tweed Orb symbol complies with this definition and is genuine Harris Tweed, the world’s only commercially produced handwoven tweed.
